It was a long planned visit to go birding in Hessarghatta which finally happened in the last week of November 2012. Finally it was set. 28th Nov 2012, Manjunath my Facebook friend at the time, a birder in the making like myself, joined in and we reachd there one hour prior to sunrise, giving us an idea as to what to expect.
Well Hessarghatta, a grassland about 30km from my place is a good place to sight winter guests, along with resident species with prominence to the raptors.

Along with them there are many grassland birds like the paddy-field Pipit, Larks etc...

Also we saw Drongos, Indian Rollers, and too many swifts compared to the other birds.

Later that morning we saw a Tawny Eagle at a distance that was too much for my 70-300 to handle.
Being inexperienced this was all we could manage.. But this was only my first step...
