Ubeswar ji is a Lord Shiva temple, located approximately 20 KM from Udaipur city centre. It is not very well known birding spot, neither a tourist spot. It takes aproximately 30minutes to reach this place by car. On 25th August 2013, me, Mr. Vijendra Singh Parmar and Mr. Mudit Sharma went biding for the at around 6AM in the morning and reached there by 6:30AM.
It was cloudy and light was very low. Since its hilly area, we saw cloud coming to us! It was scenic beautiy like any hill stations! We thought, we will not see many birds, but we were pleasantly surprised when the weather was cleared, cloud flew away. There was not enough light, but still we could see many birds!
Here is the list of birds we saw :-
1. Scaly Breasted Munia

On way back, we saw Common Hoope, Grey Francolin, Little Egret, Little Cormorant at Badi lake. Also, we saw Indian Stone Curlew, River Tern, Spotbilled Duck, and waders like Purple Moorhen, White Brested Waterhen at Fateh Sagar Lake.
We failed to see White Napped tit though! It was very refreshing birding trip after many days in Udaipur during monsoon. We enjoyed the scenic beauty a lot!
