Field Notes

Description:

Blackish with a red and yellow beak.

Habitat:

This one was photographed swimming in the Lake inside Lodhi Gardens. These birds are not pets.

Notes:

There were Geese, Cormorants and Egrets keeping them company in the water. The geese may be fed but I do not think the other aquatic birds are. I do not know if the Lake is artificially stocked with fish as food.
