1. Indian Spot-billed Duck

   Number observed: 5

2. Little Grebe

   Number observed: 6

3. Eared Grebe

   Number observed: 3

   Details: At least 3 individuals, possibly 4-5; all in winter plumage. One bird initially seen associating with a Little Grebe. Then moved towards deeper water, diving very frequently (far more often than Little Grebes). Red eye seen well in good light; dark, slightly upturned wedge-shaped bill; peaked head shape with more elegant neck than Little Grebe; blackish crown/back contrasting with white throat and whitish belly/flanks. Good looks at 3 individuals, most likely 5 in total (being circumspect due to distance/light conditions).
