But the orchard and trees that were grown over the last decade eroded and subsequently drowned in the river delta during last flood. Hence, birds shelter's areas were diminished due to the aforementioned reason. I felt that likewise me, lost lap of mother on 6th December, these birds lost their shelters. Weather was slightly better this time. Fog is only bottleneck however it was compensated by sunny day. I observed some new species of birds which were not seen by me during my previous walk through around the areas. Most significant among these is Spotted Munia and their family, which was my first sighting ever.

Besides Spotted Munia I have also come across with White-eyed buzzard (Butastur teesa) which appeared me as common Kestrel but latter on I realized that again my first sighting. This time also I was lucky to snapped Barn Swallow.
