The Kabini river is a bird watcher’s paradise. It’s rich catch in the waters, the green grass on its banks and the surrounding dense forest cover ensures that it attracts a wide variety of birds to its waters and banks.
A boat safari on these waters will allow you to see terns and storks and ducks and herons in huge numbers.
It was during one such boat safari that I spotted this black crowned night heron sitting on a tree branch. This was the first time that I had seen this bird and I felt happy to have added one more bird to my bird memory.
