It was a fair fog when we have started from home at 5.45 but as we have entered into the Bannerghatta forest area, it gave us a mind blowing view(to not view anything 
). Waiting till 9, misty went down and we were able to do some birding. I will soon add into the PLACE area where exactly we went. Here are some of the pictures and enjoyable moment
