Here are few photos from the bird race clicked by my good friend, JN.
How did I capture a TIME LAPSE of the Sunset at Powai Lake?
There was a small mound of mud over which a branch of tree had fallen. I balanced my mobile properly for the entire duration of the setting sequence. My friend's son, SSN and other people walking in front of the mobile were politely asked to walk carefully from behind the mobile and over the branch. They complied and even thanked me for offering them the unnecessary hand over the small branch, on which I had balanced my mobile really well.
All went well and then when I went to show my group, the result of my endevour, I realised I had not pressed the start button to click the mobile camera.
Our hosts, the organizers of the India Bird Races, Mr. Ravi & Mr. Sunjoy as usual were gracious and kind and conducted bird quizzes with panache, that kept everyone on the edge to win prizes and gain knowledge.
You can check the earlier editions of the India Bird Races below:
2023 Mumbai Bird Race - 53 species seen.
2022 Mumbai Bird Race - 50 species seen.
2019 Mumbai Bird Race - 63 species seen.
2015 Mumbai Bird Race - 90 species seen.
The pan flavoured chocolate in this gift box was something new.
I look forward to many more bird races and abundance of birds in and around Mumbai.

The Indian spot-billed duck (Anas poecilorhyncha) is a large dabbling duck that is a non-migratory breeding duck throughout freshwater wetlands in the Indian subcontinent. The name is derived from the red spot at the base of the bill that is found in the mainland Indian population. #wildlife #wild #wildlifephotography #naturelover #nature #naturephotography #insta #wildlifeplanet #instadaily #indianbirds #kings_birds #travelphotography #travelgram #instantbugle #yourshotphotographer #bird #wildanimals #birds #animallovers #adventure #bb_of_ig #lake #forestphotography #forestlife #birdphotography #birdlovers #birdsofinstagram #anshumanpandeyphotography #illuminatingpixels (at Hauz Khas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmv-NCfrpJy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

6 Wonderful Birds of India
A lot of the nature and wildlife experiences you can enjoy in India are about larger animals, elephants, tigers, lions! But India is a fantastic place for birding as well. Whether you are an expert on certain species, are a hobby watcher or fall somewhere in between or just want to take some fantastic pictures even, look for a bird sanctuary near me and you can discover some amazing old friends and see some new ones. Birds native to India, and birds that fly in see more than 1300 species!
1) Bar-headed Goose
The Bar-Headed Goose flys at high altitudes and is a migratory bird that heads to India from places like Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia or Tibet for warmer weather. It is a striking looking bird with its grey pale body and yellow orange bill and legs. The name comes from the black bars on its white neck. When the winter is over they head back.
2) Common Kingfisher
This bird of India is a bright and colourful creature with a long pinty bill, orange blue feathers and females have some red on their bill while males have a completely black one. It mostly is a native species and it is shy so is quite a hard one to find when you go looking. They prefer to be along water sources, lakes, rivers and streams and such where there are insects and fish.
3) Crested Serpent Eagle
If you are excited by raptors then you might want to try and spot a native bird, the Crested Serpent Eagle. They live in areas where there is lush vegetation and where their prey lives. They have amazing claws and strong feet to catch and hold what they have hunted and then a shrp beak to kill it. They have long feathers, a big head and fluffy crest.
4) Indian Roller
This is a common bird throughout India and is the state bird for three states. It is colourful, having wings in shades of brown, purple, green and blue and unusually telling males and females apart is hard because they are similar in looks. They prefer to live in scrub forest, open grassland and also farmland.
5) Knob-billed Duck
These tropical wetland birds are found in a bird sanctuary near me where there is a water source near marshes, rivers and lakes. They have a white lower neck and a speckled head and upper neck. Males have a large knob on their bills and females have none.
6) Grey-headed Swamphen
These are a bird of India as well and are also wetland birds. They prefer freshwater like marches, lakes, ponds and rivers and use reeds to make their breeding ground. They have a red bill, blue and purple upper parts and red legs. The forehead shield is not seen in their young.
Summary
See how many birds of India you can spot on your next visit somewhere! Many can be seen close to towns even so you could even start closer to home.
