Visiting Sewri jetty and Birdwatching

Hey guys!

Watching birds from my balcony and capturing them in their natural habitat is something I absolutely love. Caged birds are just a sad sight. So, when my mom told me about spotting migratory birds in Sewri, I was all up for it.
Basically, during the months of Jan/Feb to April, a lot of migratory birds can be spotted at the Sewri jetty. Serwi is a railway station on the Harbour line in Mumbai and the jetty is very close to the station. However, if you wish to go by car, then the road is a bit tricky and you definitely need to ask the locals as, after a pont of time, even Google maps/ Nokia maps aren't going to help you.
We reached the place around 8 am and so failed to spot a lot of birds. We planned to reach there early but for couldn't. I suggest, you be there by 6 30- 6 45 am to spot a lot more birds.
I won't say much, I will let you see for yourself what I spotted. :).
Again, I do not know the names to these birds, so help me out here.

Unknown bird #1

Kingfisher
Unknown bird #2

Egret
Another Egret capture! :)

Apart from this, there is nothing much to spot around in the area. I found this boat to be quite good though:
Seems kinda nice, isn't it?

And I spotted a group of friends who had come there just to hang out by the jetty. Somehow it felt worhty of a capture:


That's all for now. Hope you enjoyed the post. I'll see you all soon. Till then, adios!

Hey guys!
So how many of you here are into bird watching? No, I'm not talking about the other kind :P , I'm talking about our feathered friends. For those of you who love to watch birds in their natural habitat, this article is gonna be a treat for you.
As lazy as I am, I could not be more glad that just a look out of my bedroom window opens me up to a beautiful world of cute little birds. I am not aware of the names for any of these birds, so please help me out if you do ! :)
In the hustle and bustle of the city, hearing a chirp is no less than heaven. So, here goes:
