Keoladeo itself though has been changing gradually. There is quite a bit of work going on at the perimeter disturbing the pythons which were found at the edges of the park. Saw none of them this time. The dusky eagle owl had changed its nest as well to a further off place where it was much more difficult to see let alone photograph, the Siberian ruby throat hadn't arrived and the humongous monitor lizard near the cafeteria in the park was nowhere to be found. There is of course much more water in the park which allows more more birds to settle in even if they are too far to get a snap. The number of jackals, boars and deer seen on the road has also reduced considerably.


Overall though there was still plenty to see and the changing ecosystem with more water in the park has made it much better. The migratory birds were there (the sarus cranes even had a chick), the tortoises were out in great numbers, the water birds seemed to be increasing and there is still enough to keep any photographer busy for a while. Would be certainly looking forward to going there next year as well.
