Patna Zoo and Danapur

The Sanjay Gandhi Biological Park boasts several species of flora and fauna including birds. While waiting my batchmate and friend Nand Kishor,with a great anticipation, I spent about an hour for bird watching inside zoo. However, I sighted and captured through my lense only few birds due to cloudy weather. The cloudy condition and dense-high trees prevented me to capture good photographs. Soon after Patna zoo, myself and Nand Kishor, a true birds watcher and a serving member of Indian Forest Service proceeded towards Danapur Cantonment to watch Asian Openbill and their migratory pattern.In the evening of 25th October we visited Eco Park too; however we hardly observed  avian life in the Eco Park.
