Description

Three Yellow Bitterns in the reeds in the marsh along the east side of the perimeter road next to the Patancheru Tank. The heavy overcast conditions, and light sprinkles of rain this morning seem to have brought these normally shy birds out into the open, much like the normally crepuscular Ruddy-Breasted Crake (see below).
