I didn't get the full image. When our Maruti rose on a granite outcrop close to the croc spot, grandpa was spooked and started for the water before I could get the whole image. I include the image of the truncated croc to show how large this animal was.

A rare sighting. The only other time I've seen a Common Teal was three years ago in the stream near the North Forty field in Park City, UT.

Also, thanks to hyper spotter Varun, head of the naturalist guides, who was riding shotgun in our Maruti, driven by Chagan.
