A few of the birds around Pichola Lake in Udaipur, Rajasthan.

Now that I'm back in Agonda Beach in Goa (a great way to 'bookend' this trip) staying at the 'Monsoon', I'll finally get to put up some pics of the daily views I had in Rajasthan.  As my guest house in Udaipur - the Lal Ghat Guest House - was right on the Pichola shore, it was a pretty easy and comfortable spot to watch the birds that resided around the lake.  Everyone who stayed at the Lal Ghat would, at some point, sit on the rooftop or in the old verandah in the guest house and stare for hours at the wonderful view. The veranda was an especially tempting spot to sit and read and eat your meals in all day.  In the evening the mosquitoes came out, but the views and sounds at night were just wonderful.

Terns.  All day they sweep back and forth along the lake shore, in front of the Lal Ghat Guest House, which makes for easy  viewing.



I know these aren't birds, but what the heck, they hang around
on the shore in the same area as the birds.
