I went to Saat-Taal & Pangot for bird watching & photography from 15-19th November 2017. We must have seen about 80 species of birds. Most of them I saw for the first time. It was indeed an experience of a different kind... Here are some of the photos that I took... All photos taken on Nikon 3200 camera & 200-500 Nikkor Lens..
