Bird Watchers' Field Club: 2nd Sunday Outing to Lalbagh: 080511

Sometimes one does not have to see many species of birds (or animals or insects) in order to feel very satisfied with a nature outing. And it is fun to meet up with so many like-minded people

I do love the owls but the sheer variety of what you spot each time just amazes me. The Pheasant-tailed Jacana is just lovely, too. I really enjoy seeing birds I'd never see here!

[deponti]

None of what I post is very difficult to see...do plan, like idahoswede to come over and share my city, state and country with you!

I think SSO is beautiful! Those eyes!

[deponti]

:) You must meet Sainath, too...he has just as sharp eyes, to spot the bird wherever it is! Nowadays I meet him just once a year, at the Bird Race!

Nice post

Hey Deepa,

The first Shikra is a juv. The eye colour is neither yellow (female) nor red (male).
We saw the female as well later in the day.

Ah. I was wondering. Does the retina develop the colour? Thanks PK!

Re: The first shikra is a juv

It's the Iris that is coloured.
Retina is the inner lining of the eye on which light strikes to produces impulses.
