Kanwar Bird Sanctuary

After visiting of Baraila bird sanctuary(#Birdsanctury) we proceeded towards Kanwar lake (#Kanwarlake), largest freshwater oxbow lake of Asia. The weather condition was not very conducive for the bird watching and photography. However, fortunately we got about an hour sunny window to observe patterns of waders and territorial bird. Our bird watching began with the sighting of Shikra while waiting at forest guest house to stop rain. We captured Rufous treepie and Common mynah; however, I did not snap Greater Coucal.  Soon after, we went into the lake by small boat. We found few folks of waders and wagtail besides Indian territorial birds (#Indianbird) such as Drongo, Kingfisher, Indian roller, Indian pond heron etc..
