In Bangalore for a weekend conference and my hosts very kindly arranged this bird outing with a local guide and nature reserve staff. Only 20 min from the Sheraton Grand Hotel at Brigade Gateway, the Puttenahalli Nature Reserve is one of the man-made lakes in Bangalore which used to be a water treatment plant, a euphemism for sewage treatment plant! They were then converted into nature reserves run by a local conservation trust and has developed into a bird reserve, a welcome location in Bangalore itself.
