Birds at Santragachi Lake

Lesser Whistling Duck and Cormorant at Santragachi Lake. The lake is at about 10 kms from Kolkata, though it takes longer then half an hour depending upon traffic in Kolkata. As per information available on web sites lake extends over 32 acres and hosts thousands of migratory birds but when I visited the same few days back, it had lot of water hyacinth, and plus other pollutants, thereby decreasing area for nestling of birds, and the water pollution will impact the flora and fauna of the lake, an area of concern for all of us.
