A team of six children went for a bird walk at the Sukhna Lake, where along with the ducks and herons, they saw the elusive and solitary Stork-billed Kingfisher. A total of 15 teams with over 45 bird-watchers set out and managed to list 261 species. Among the star sightings were Banded Bay Cuckoo, Tickell’s Thrush, Stork-Billed Kingfisher and Golden Bush Robin.
