We
made a 6.30 am start to visit the area around Fort Aguada and enjoyed
some refreshing early morning birding on a hillside overlooking the
bay below the Fort. We saw our only Indian Peafowl here with c6 birds
roosting and feeding. Offshore, we saw several Bottle-nosed Dolphins lazily swimming by. We had breakfast surrounded by a feeding flock
of Rosy Starling and then set off downhill (all the way in some eyes)
to the well known Indian Pitta site by the aptly named ditch. We missed
our target yet again, perhaps because none of us wanted to venture into
the undergrowth! We moved on with 38 species including close up views
of a Black-headed Cuckoo-shrike in lieu of the Pitta.
