So many stories are being drafted by our enthusiastic residents after Kaikondrahalli Lake is rejuvenated. One of the such success stories is 'increase of bio-diversity'. One such enthusiastic bird lover is our friend, Manjunath Prabhu.
Manjunath developed fascination for bird photography about an year back. Since then he captured great moments of our birds in thousands (Residents who follow FORward150 blog has seen his snaps in my previous posting). He heard about our KK Halli rejuvenation and its rich bio-diversity and started shooting.
Amazingly Manjunath found many species and variety of birds. He keeps sending incredible snaps to us. He is gaining perfection in photography and we are gaining watching his snaps.
His could able to enumerate some of the bird species ...
* 3 types of Kingfisher birds - common kingfisher, pied kingfisher(black and white) and white throated kingfisher
* Green Bee Eater
* Red Wattled Lapwing
* Paddy Field Pipit
* Black Dorongo
* White Browed Wagtail
* White Wagtail
* Yellow Wagtail
* Jungle Myna
He says there are many aquatic birds too.
He successfully captured few of them recently with his camera:
* Yellow Wagtail
* Green Bee Eater
* Red Wattled Lapwing
* White Browed Wagtail
* Malabar Starling
Now you must be thinking of visiting our neighbourhood Ranganthittu!!! Yes, You can visit. Have a nice time taking your little ones for a morning walk and watch these birds. But I humbly request you to keep the lake surroundings clean as the pain involved in rejuvenating the lake was stupendous. More than siz man months are already spent by our beloved FORward150 members to bring the lake live for all of us.
Beautification and jogging track works are already started and hope KK Halli lake soon becomes a must visit place for all of South & East Bangaloreans.
