Birds Around Me 0017 - Red-crested Pochard लाल चोँच (Netta rufina)
Yesterday, if I would have asked for something special, I would have got. It was really hot in the UK, without any breeze. It felt like India and I was feeling a bit homesick. I was missing India monsoons, my favorite season, and the time of the year. A lot happens all over, all across the country. And my wish was granted, while on a birding walk, all of a sudden without much warning heavy rains started after brief thunderstorms and lightning. The fragrance of flowers and hot battered earth reminded me of the time back home in India.

It was good day with birding as well, not many birds but sufficient time with a few of them. A flock of about 28 Red-crested Pochard (Netta rufina) at Stocker's Lake was a nice surprise. I was hiding from the rain under the tree and all of sudden saw bright gold and red.
