Made this at Bharatpur (Keoladeo National Park) in Rajasthan (160 kms from Delhi), India on 10th January.

With adequate rains and the water being released from a river, the Park is in pristine condition and with abundant food for the birds. Therefore, it is not just the migratories and the trademark Storks, Herons etc are having a good time but other commoners to are in playful mood.

Have never before such a huge number of Comb Ducks and Lesser-Whistling Ducks and the former on trees, true to its classification as a Tree Duck.

Here are some images of Comb Duck.

Cheers.
