Birds of Agara

When I was in Bengaluru for SAP training back in March 2015. It was known that Bengaluru have many lakes, but as per what I have read in newspapers all of them are polluted. Due to the above I never tried to check out the lakes in Bengaluru. However, one find day when I travelling to "Banerghatta" I happend to see this lake at Agara and found some ducks in the lake. I decided to check out this lake on next day. It was pretty surprising that this lake was very clean and well maintained. I keep visiting this lake whenever time permits. Following is the list of image captured at this lake since March 2015.

Birding at Goa

Been to Goa 4 times so far but never tried birding. When I was working in Pune a close friend planned a Birding trip to Goa and I joined him. We covered Bondla Wildlife Sanctuary and Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary over 3 days.

We stayed at Farmgudi Residency at Ponda. After reaching Goa hired a Scooter and then headed to Ponda. Farmgudi was very good place, I spend my evening shooting at Farmgudi premise.
