There is a tiny island in the Pashan Lake, Pune. It has a single tree on it.
This was the first time, we saw so many Spoonbill families nesting on that tree. It was a wonderful sight. The parent bird was gathering weeds and stick for their extended family. Look at the other little ones... :)

I clicked this pic with D5300 and Nikon 200-500 telephoto lens.
