A morning in Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary

I was looking for a Sunday. I wanted to visit nearby Bird Sanctuary again.
Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary is about 25 km from my house in Gurgaon.  http://www.sultanpurbirdsanctuary.com/
Though I frequently visit this place, for last many weeks i had not gone.  It becomes quite hazy during winter time hence not so good for photography. It is a large marshy water body. Many migratory birds visit here every year. (Incidentally the migratory birds visit the place during winter)
Today morning i spent few hours with nature and birds.
We are a small photography group who visit the nearby places.

If you want to learn patience - it is from Egret. It waits for so long in one spot firmly stuck, to grab a fish in a fraction of a second.

Now enjoy some pictures:
