This was our 3rd Sunday outing with bngbirds team.

One of the most exciting birding. While going to the place, Sushil has taken from some inside road. He told me that he saw black shouldered kite here many times. So, we got little conscious in driving.

While driving, we saw that beautiful moon(which was supposed to be the closest to earth). Meanwhile, some guys asked us “what happened to last night match” .. Yes, Pakistan won the match.

Moving forward towards the lake side, we have witnessed some of the classical view where Pied Kingfisher was hovering and searching for prey. A black kite was chasing short-toed snake eagle.
