We are having good saying in Gujarati, "પેટ કરાવે વેઠ " means - Hunger forced to do any thing to any one,

Looks like hard work for them.

Ya, that was really a great morning for me at Kankaria, had you seen other Birds spotting from the Lake,

Ohh, nice and minute observation Satyen, That's Shree Hanuman Temple just there at Kankaria Lake, which can seen in Map also, Thanks..

U're welcome...

Thank a Lot DanielePralong, Thanks VianneyTedjamulia for ID

Great video Sachin!

ok, ceherzog will take care, and will not try to give something to them.

I don't think you should feed them.

cool!!

Thanks ceherzog, No people are usually feed to fishes over there, Turtles have to arrange for their own in this way, but what can we feed to them, I will defiantly arrange to provide if they like.

That's a neat spotting...what a long neck that it appeared to be using for leverage...the video was fun to see. Do people feed them?
