[BirdPhotoIndia] Birding at Barvi, again!

Hello All,
Today I & Mr. Harishchandra Mhatre visited Barvi Dam Forest Area near Badlapur. Apart from the total 60 odd birds, we came across Eurasian Sparrow-hawk (uncommon), Oriental Honey Buzzard (common in the area), Blue Winged Leaf-bird (Lifer for Mr. Mhatre & Uncommon bird in the region), Red Spurfowl (Uncommon) & the catch of the day was EURASIAN THICK-KNEE/Stone Curlew (lifer for us & perhaps very uncommon sighting as well).

As usual Racket Tailed Drongos and Rufous Treepies have dominated the forest, the count is always more than 20-25 for each of these two bird.
