 We visited Maem Lake on our only trip with Abhi, leaving the Marinha
Dourada at 6.15 am to get to the lake a little after first light. The
journey takes up to 1½ hours. The Brown Fish Owl for which this
site is well known now appears
to roost elsewhere. The main purpose of our visit was to see an Oriental
Dwarf Kingfisher Abhi had seen the previous day, but we were unlucky.
We did however get excellent views of a roosting Indian Jungle (Grey) Nightjar plus
Banded Bay Cuckoo, a nesting Pied (Bar-winged) Flycatcher-shrike, Little Spiderhunter,
Blue-faced Malkoha, Emerald Dove, a small flock of Orange-breasted Green
Pigeons, Tickell’s Thrush and Changeable Hawk-eagle. 59 species
in total, boosted to 68 for the overall trip by a brief stop at Nachinola
Fields on the way back to the hotel.
