Striated Heron in breeding plumage – extra plumes and blue lores. Farmers keep their livestock in this wetland also. Two species of icterids populated the area, the presence of either was a direct indicator of the degree of water present. Arriving before sunrise, we could already see the thick clouds on the horizon.
