Garganey (Anas querquedula), one of the best looking ducks was seen in Village Roza, District Shajahanpur, Uttar Prdesh. An abandoned brick kiln owned by one Mithoo Lal in a small village, Roza became the favourite spot for migratory water birds, mostly due to the protection and patronage extended by Mr. Mithoo Lal. Even after Mr. Lal's passing away, his children continue the protection to the avian visitors. As a result, the Ducks are not afraid of humans and one can get very close shots of species like Northern Pintail, Common Teal, Lesser Whistling Teal, Garganey and Northern Shoveller. God bless the departed Nature lover! May Mr. Mithoo Lal's soul rest in peace!
