 From Fort Aguada we moved on to the Ribander
Ferry as foot passengers and briefly birded the area to the right of
the ferry landing (or left if you are leaving rather than arriving)
on the north bank of the Mandovi River. There are a
few pools about 100 yards from the ferry which are good for waders at
high tide. Our total of 21 species included excellent views of feeding
Wooly-necked Stork and Black-headed Ibis, together with our only Eurasian
Spoonbill and a mixed flock of curlew and whimbrel. In the middle of
the river was a flock of 2000/3000 pintail, which took flight at one
stage with a passing raptor providing a magnificent spectacle.
