Morning walk at Hauz Khas Lake

This has to be one of the most beautiful places in all of Delhi.
A huge artificial lake, the Hauz Khas monuments on one side, large open parks all around. People with cameras, artists with their canvases, children with their cricket bats, laughter therapy groups, people doing yoga, lovers holding hands, you name it… its all there at the lake.
A gentle early morning walk around the lake is quite enough to calm your senses.

The lake is also host to a number of bird species (both resident and migratory). Right from the tiny tailor birds to the raptors to the ducks, the Hauz Khas lake has plenty to offer.

A few clicks from the recent morning walk to the lake…
The kingfisher just sat and posed for such a long time, that I had all the time to observe, wait for the right angles (when the sun would shine in its eyes) and click. While the Woodpecker and the Coppersmith Barbet were the more pricey ones who kept disappearing behind the trees.

I do hope that i’ll be able to click the kingfisher fishing soon enough 🙂
