On Children's Day (Nov 15th), the elementary kids visited Lalbagh to say hello to some feathery friends.

Grey Pelicans are usually spotted in Bangalore till the first week of December after which they fly away to Kokkare Bellur or Rangana Thittu bird sanctuary near Mysore. They are migratory and mostly come in from Sri Lanka, Nicobar Islands and other South East Asian countries.
