Meghna Banerjee - Powai Lake Powai Mumbai Maharashtra

The Powai Lake harbours innumerable water plants. The sparrows hover over the reeds and swoop down on caterpillars and other insects crawling inside the dense vegetation. Once their prey is firmly clasped in their beak, they perch on the promenade to have their meal in peace. The same procedure is repeated multiple times by thousands of sparrows inhabiting the lakeside.The bustling activity of the tiny residents reminds one of a busy marketplace.
