Hi Guys,

Finally I've got something to let you hear. 
The recording can be found here:
http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=21771

So there are 2 species I think you can hear: Asian openbill Stork & Grey
Heron.
I made a photo of the location too:

Btw the file name was accideantally named "Black necked stork" which these
obviously aren't. I'm not much of a birder but my dad is, so I am going by
the list he made of the birds we saw, and where and how many etc.

Vultures have dissapeared from India, my dad had spend time in Bharatpur 25
years ago and the difference was huge, apparantly the main cause is poison
in the foodchain. Similar story to what (allmost) happened to the buzzard
over here with DDT. 

Any comments are welcome btw!

Cheers
