9 AM is way to late for birding, esp in sunny conditions, but anyway having absolutely nothing to do, i still decided to head to Hebbal Lake, which happens to be pretty close to my place. Entered the place and made a pretty decent image of a Brahminy Kite with catch, had just a sec to frame this shot, manually focused.

W walking around when a bunch of school kids shouted 'KINGFISHER', before i reached the spot an entire group had gathered there and chased the bird off. Bad Luck!!
Spotted a lot of Purple Moorhens, but them being very skittish, i could hardly click a good pic of them. Saw a few Green Bee-eaters(a first time for me at Hebbal Lake). Spotted a few MArsh Harriers, but couldn't photograph them.

Got a message from both the Vinays(Vinay V. & Vinay L.), saying that they also were heading to the lake. Spotted a pair of black birds. Vinay L., with his binoculars was quick to identify them as Bronze-winged Jacanas. Got only a record shot of it.
Bronze-winged JacanaLoved one of the bee-eater pics, thanks Vinay for pointing this one out.
Green Bee-eaterClicked a Purple Heron, uploading it just to add one more to the species list. :D Also liked the Squirrel with a baby in its mouth pic.
