Here is the catch is bigger detail. Could not make out what the fish was but looked pretty much big for it. Oh! by the way this is a male breeding little Egret. The breeding males have these plume in the head to attract the females!!

Little Egret Fishing.
After the dive and taking the fish in the beak it flies towards the land to have its breakfast. Water in the backwater pond is shallow and fishes are many that makes for an easy fishing.
Little Egrets
At the end of Mithibandar road, Thane, there is a very large mangrove which attracts lots of birds. These are mainly egrets, comorants, kites, bulbuls and variety of other small birds. Today, I had the privilege of seeing one little egret fishing about in the backwaters.

Aarey Milk Colony
This has become my favorite photo shooting ground for birds!! The area near the cattle farms and the fields towards Guregaon are ideal locations. I have seen quite a few variety, including the one shown here. On a lucky day 7-10 species can be sighted though taking good pictures of them are not guaranteed!!
The challenge and therefore, the fun of shooting birds is their elusiveness. It takes lot of patience and luck to get one good shot at them. Normall, in once visit I'll click about 50 pics out of which finally 2 or 3 will make the grade.
Let me know how you all feel.

Ring Billed Gull
In the artificial lake before the Lincoln Memorial there was this gang of gulls playing around and waiting for tourists to give them crumbs!! It was a beautiful day and I had gone to see the cherry blossoms. Look what I did get to see!!
