On my way back to Islamabad from Sargodha I observed some bird activity on a water pond near Bhera. I stopped there and explored the area. I was delighted to see a large number of water birds there. As this was some private land and also had fence around it so I was not able to go closer but still I managed to take some photographs of birds living there.
