Pareij wetlands continuation Few more birds

Hope to put up the last of the birds from this exceptional area. Probably make another trip or two to get the birds that were out of reach and a few elusive ones in the marsh areas.

Jawai Dam and Mori Bera 

I paid a visit to Bera recently to visit an ole Buddy of mine after a lapse of almost three years. The trip and his company were thrilling. As pledged, he showed me a female leopard and her two cubs. Later we drove to the Jawai Dam, where I did a spot of birding. Here are the pictures I promised to post. Appreciate the feathered friends that have flown thousands of KM to visit our water bodies.
