Along with Pashan and Veer Dam, Kavadi-Pat is another place to spot numbers of scrubland and wetland birds. It’s a small Village near Pune city. The place is skirting but the best place to see Ducks closely. This is my practice ground for photography along with Pashan Lake. I visit this place twice in a month.

Good time to visit this place is from Dec to Feb end and early in the morning from 7 am to 11 am. You can walk across a small narrow bridge to get a better view of the birds but be careful as the bridge does not have railings and you have an occasional two-wheeler ride across the bridge. My advice will be to walk along the riverside for a better view of birds and photographs.
Do Not Disturb them just to have a nice click. I have seen a lot of people (Mainly beginners) approach directly towards birds.
I enjoyed photography there and treat to the eye to watch their activity in the early morning.
I don't know what to write more on Kavadi-Pat so I will post a list of birds which you can see in Kavadi-pat.
Below are snaps were taken during my various visits to Kavadi-Pat.
