There is a lake at the centre of the Park, here and in the area around it a large number of water birds can be seen.
White Breasted KingFisher (Love the blue color)
Purple Moor Hen (See the red feet)
White Breasted KingFisher (It finally turned around, after lots of prayers)
Pond Heron (possibly juvenile)
Common Rat Snake swallowing fish.
(Yes, I know this isn't a water bird, but I've never seen a snake swallowing a fish before.)
White Breasted Water Hen
SpotBilled Pelican (Migrant)
Large Cormorant
Common Egret (Breeding plumage)

These photos are very good.Lalbagh has so many birds.last time i went i saw a verditer flycatcher and millions of Purple moorhens.
That snake that is swallowing a fish is not a Rat Snake. It is a Checkered Keelback Water Snake (Xenochrophis piscator). Otherwise, amazing photos of brilliant wildife :)
