We* visited Talawe at Palm beach road, vashi on sunday 26th june 2011. This rainy day birding rewarded with sighting of *Cinamon Bittern* and flock of 100+ Lesser Flamingos, mostly all of Juveniles, settled in the pond for resting on one leg and their necks tucked in.
The blue-tiger butterflies were just hatching from their pupa and it was amazing to see them to take flight after it.
