Neersagar birding on Easter Sunday

Commissioned in 1956, Neersagar Reservoir in Bedthi Valley (20 Kms from Hubli) is the source drinking water for Hubli and Kalghatgi.

The reservoir is one of the birding spots nearest to Hubli.

Although the spot has more than a fair share of birds. Sunday's birding apart from the common birds resulted only in a pair of Grey Frankolin, Purple Sunbirds and a Coppersmith Barbit.

The guard of the premises spoke about a flock of Peacocks that were seen after sunset. But on this day the peacocks were elusive.

Cheers until next time

Easter Sunday.

Easter Sunday,

0700 hrs mass at the Infant Jesus Church, Shanti Nagar.

Lovely Biryani from leony. Ganesh Rao for company.

Post lunch there was a sudden urge to go birding.

So off we were to Neer Sagar lake in Kalghatgi. The lake is the source of drinking water to Hubli City and Kalghatgi.

Returned home to find BSNL broadband connection intermittent and its too late, so the birding report will be on tomorrow.
