| Black-bellied Tern | (Sterna acuticauda) | 1 | | | Initally thought this was a River Tern.It was seen
circling over the water in the middle of the reservoir. I got a good
look of the bird when it started heading north(upstream). The bird had
a clear black cap with a dark belly and a \"deeply forked tail\" which
actually separates it from the Whiskered tern apart from a similar dark
belly. |

ensured a good amount of water at Manchanbele and I really did\'nt sight
them in huge numbers. |
