Indian Skimmer is one of the main target birds

Millpond calm waters made spotting Ganges River Dolphin a lot easier (no chance of photographing them though!)

Great Thick-knee

A handsome River Lapwing

Noisy River Terns

Scarce Black-bellied Tern

the bizarre Black Ibis

Gharial and Marsh Mugger crocodiles hauled out on an island in the middle of the river

Marsh Mugger crocodile

The frightening Gharial

Some sort of Terrapin

Indian Robin jumping about by the bus as we arrive...
