Birding Parc de Tsarsaotra, Antananarivo, Madagascar - 2018

A fine morning of birding in mid-June, 2018 in the Parc de Tsarasaotra, Antananarivo, Madagascar. A variety of bird species are seen, including the Black Heron, three species of Egrets, White-faced Whistling Duck, Red-billed Teal, Madagascar Coucal, and the very beautiful Madagascar Malachite Kingfisher / Malagasy Kingfisher.
Lonely Planet On-line provides the following helpful information about this birding park:
"Lake Alarobia may be located at the heart of Antananarivo's industrial area, but it is a vital refuge and nesting site for 14 threatened endemic bird species such as the Madagascar pond heron, Meller's duck and Madagascar little grebe. The site is classified RAMSAR (International Convention on Wetlands), a treaty highlighting the importance and fragility of wetlands and protecting key sites, and the reserve is privately managed by tour operator Boogie Pilgrim."
