Recent encounters in the forest reserve

Went birding with a group of eager beavers, mixed seasoned, experienced and novices. It was to share knowledge and etiquette of birding, especially with the newer members. The half day outing yielded more than 50 species both seen and heard. Not a bad day!

First up were a couple of Bul Buls and a Babbler.
