Observation details
We had initially heard two or three birds giving a call that immediately somewhat recalled WCBa to me, but we couldn't place it. Later on, this huge flock took off from the opposite bank, probably disturbed. The entire flock was calling and flew in a train to another side of the reservoir. Luckily we could make out the silhouettes against the creamish yellow sky, and I estimated them in 10s. This is a minimum, since there were still more birds on the original bank. The villagers with whom we spoke are very familiar with them (and their chickpea feasting) and know their movements well. Lifer for me, and what a way to tick it! :)
