9.30 came and so Agnello arrived and we set off for Bondla,just got through Ponda and we got a flat tyre,so
Agnello sent Mandy and Myself off birding while he changed wheels not venturing far we soon picked up a new species for our Goa list in the form of a Chestnut-headed Bee-eater,It wasn't long before Agnello shouted us back to continue with our trip,after a 45min drive we arrived onto the lane which would take us upto Bondla,but wasn't long before Mandy shouted STOP Crested Serpent Eagle in the tree and sure enough there it was after a few shots she shouted me over to her as she had found a Brown-capped Pygmy Woodpecker also a lifer for herself.
We continued with our drive to a old building where i was told i would get Deer but wasn't any around but i was more interested in photographing the Black-faced Langur Monkeys and yet again i was shout by Mandy but was too slow and missed a Racket-tailed Drongo,so we started our drive again and stopped near a small lagoon where this time i spotted a crocodile with his head just above the water,with that photographed we was on our way again and arrived at Bondla
