Birding on Namal Lake, Mianwali (7-10-2017)

As I observed in my last birding in Margalla Hills that maigratiory birds are still to come so I decided to explore some other areas. I heard that some of my friends hunt in Indus River in D.I.Khan. So I decided to visit that area to see some new flora and fauna. It was a long journy 5 to 6 Hour drive from Islamabad to Dera Ismail Khan. At 12 noon we started our journey and on our way we stayed for a while at Namal Lake.

I stopped there for a short time to see the place and to discover some new birds. Migratory birds are not coming but still some birds were there. More likely resident birds but in future its a good place for migratory birds and hope to see a lot on my next trip to Namal Lake.

Birding in Indus River, D.I.Khan (7-10-2017)

After short stay at Namal Lake we started our journey towards D.I.Khan. On my way towards D.I.Khan we crossed chashma barrage and I was very eager to do birding there but they did not allow us to do Photography, But at chashma  barrage I was very happy to see a large number of migratory birds and hoped to find some new birds at my destination. Chashma Barrage - D.I.Khan On my way towards D.I.Khan I also saw the Kafer kot (7th century CE) heritage site. Kafir Kot consists of the ruins of 5 temples, and the ruins of a large fort protecting the site. According to the district Gazetteer of Mianwali of 1915 the remains of Kafirkot (and the nearby ruin of Mari) "are indication of the existence of a Hindu civilization of considerable importance and antiquity". Kafer Kot - D.I.Khan   Around 6 p.m we reached there. After meeting with our friends we started our journey again and crossed D.I.Khan. After some off-road drive we reached Indus River. From there we started sail

The  blue-tailed bee-eater  ( Merops philippinus ) is a near passerine bird in the bee-eater family Meropidae. It breeds in southeastern Asia. It is strongly migratory, seen seasonally in much of peninsular India. This species is sometimes considered to be conspecific with the blue-cheeked bee-eater. This species, like other bee-eaters, is a richly coloured, slender bird. It is predominantly green; its face has a narrow blue patch with a black eye stripe, and a yellow and brown throat; the tail is blue and the beak is black. It can reach a length of 23–26 cm, including the two elongated central tail feathers. Sexes are alike. This is a bird which breeds in sub-tropical open country, such as farmland, parks or ricefields. It is most often seen near large waterbodies. Like other bee-eaters it predominantly eats insects, especially bees, wasps and hornets, which are caught in the air by sorties from an open perch.This species probably takes bees and dragonflies in roughly equa
