Bharatpur is famous for its heronries where painted storks, Eurasian spoonbills, black-headed ibises, Asian Openbills, darters, Indian cormorants etc nest together. It is quite a spectacle. When we went there on 2nd October, 2014 although not a single migratory duck was visible (they were yet to arrive), we could see these bustling heronries. These are on clump of small land masses that looked like tiny islands in the middle of water bodies. The trees on those islands are taken over by these birds and together they make quite a noise. It is like music to me. As one of my friends put it, "untamed symphony".
