Early summer had made us decide to pre-pone the meeting time to 6.00 am. Though most of us could reach the meeting place in time, by the time we reached Urugunadoddi after a leisurely "Chai" session it was almost 7.15 am when the trail began. Sighting was not great in numbers.The entire landscape seem to be changing faster than one can imagine. We could see many layouts being formed and the massive quarrying going on all over the place.We also saw the medical waste being dumped there....couple of us will take this issue with the local authorities soon.
As soon as we reached the spot we saw a flock of Red Avadavats flying from one bush to the other.I did not see any male in the flock. Not sure if others saw one. Couple of us also spotted Common Kestrel on our way back.
