Dombivali a distant suburb of Mumbai has few birding spots abutting Ulhas river. One of them is Kopar. It is a mixture of grassland and swamp habitat. The suburb is slowly encroaching in to this area. But it is still a birding hot spot. We went to see Pin Tailed Snipe but we were not that lucky. Postings some of my good, bad and horrible photographs of the birds seen there.
There was a couple of Bar Tailed Godwit feeding on the shores of Ulhas river unmindful of onlookers, giving me an opportunity to take these photographs.
There were many Clamororus Reed Warblers in that location.
Jungle Mynas are not that common in Mumbai.
Paddy Field Pipit was foraging in a dump area.
I have not come across very many Pied Bush Chats in Mumbai.
This one was giving company to the Paddy Field Pipit.
