I am completely pro-nature individual. I do manage time for outing, whenever get the proper opportunity. At the beginning of 2013, in January, I had such a great chance to run out for one morning to a wetland where millions of migratory birds come during winter season. It was amazing start of 2013. I, along with my bosom companion have started our New Year journey with the bird-watching (certainly recreational) at Baikka Beal (wetland) in Sreemongol (North-eastern Bangladesh). The morning of 2nd January 2013 was astonishing. Opportunely, that morning was less misty and the surrounding weather was obliging. Within only three hours, I found more than 500 snaps in my memory cards. There were millions of birds of around fifty different species. I was surprised, as I never seen that much flying exquisiteness together in past. There were so many kinds of them, from common kingfisher to rare oriental darter. To some extent, the sunlight was also favorable and luckily we had couple hour’s long small wooden boat journey through the wetland after the birds. One local guide, who knows almost all the birds like a father, accompanied us at that magnificent morning.
