Bird survey at Pulicat lake
It is surprising how the avian life changes when you just step out of Chennai city. We were on our way to Pulicat lake, about 100 kms away from Chennai. I was travelling with the Madras Naturalists Society, which I had joined recently. Right from outside our car window, we saw so many birds! Indian rollers, WBKs, drongos, kestrels, bee eaters, hawk cuckoos and larks were in plenty. They were everywhere...in the bushes, on telephone wires...
Anyway, we saw quite a lot of birds (although very far away...the spotting scopes were essential)...including stilts, terns, pelicans, painted storks, open bill storks, and many different types of plovers.
Members from MNS go every month during the migratory season.
