Both hosakote and varthur lakes are large lakes with multiple habitat types. In video:
1) Pied kingfishers are thankfully still quite common in hosakote, saw 3 of them on Sunday, hovering and fishing :)
2) Common greenshanks at hosakote lake, their calls are beautiful.
3) Numerous species of migratory ducks in varthur. My regular lakes didn't host the numbers they usually do this year. Varthur has such an abundance of these ducks, it's hard to even ID them.
