Thank you for sharing an amazing and refreshingly new experience, dear @paragkokane

The Pashan lake looks wonderful through your lenses.

I have been living in Pashan for 20 years but never got a chance to go to the other side.

Also, I think recently @AjitThite visited and wrote a nice post about bird watching in Bhigawan.

Tamhini Ghat also, I have been a couple of times but wasn’t aware of birds out there.

Pabe ghat is completely new, so maybe you can take a group of local guides there for a bird-watching meetup

Those are fantastic photos, @paragkokane and very deep info. This is very professional.

Yes, Like @TusharSuradkar mentioned, I have visited Bhigwan couple of years ago; it’s worth a spot for bird-watchers.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Cheers!

@paragkokane Es una delicia ver a estos animalitos y sus costumbres, me enamoreé de esta actividad en la pelicula de Jack Black, Steve Martin y Owen Wilson The Big Year
