2017_02_18 Rabindra Sarobar Lake

No birding since the Latpanchar trip. Decided to visit Rabindra Sarobar Lake in search of the Ultramarine flycatcher and Veriditer flycatcher which were spotted recently. Both elluded me, nonetheless a nice morning some sports and bird photography: The kingfishers don't fly away spotting the camera, the Koels / and Doyels / Barbets gave ample close up oppurtunity due to a fruit laden tree.
