One's Company, Two's Crowd, Three's Party. Whats Five then?

There are some moments in life that surprise you. This was one such moment. I was sitting waiting for one Block Throated Tit to show up. Little did I know I would see 5 of them together and that too looking at me and taking a dip.

In company of Spoonbills, Egrets take fewer steps with higher pecking rate and higher prey intake in comparison to when Egrets hunt in solitarily.

But yes at last the faith & inner connection with nature pull them here.
