June 2nd started with an early morning trip to Shamirpet lake for bird photography. There was a good breeze and it helped overcome the heat. The man made lake was huge, however saw more water bottles and beer bottles than birds. There were fewer birds compared to the Ameenpur lake and I was disappointed with the condition around the lake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We still managed to see few birds – around the temple closer to the lake and also closer to the Shamirpet deer park area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hakimpet lake is closer to the residential area and is well maintained. Unfortunately the path beside the lake was blocked (probably to avoid people driving on the path) and it was a bit of an adventure getting to the unblocked area. Due to the lake being smaller, we were lot closer to the birds and their habitats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
