Chari Dhand, Kutch Gujarat, 04/01/2013
We did a circuit on road from Delhi - Mount Abu - Kutch - Mandvi. Though a family trip, we could do some early morning birding. Chari Dhand was not too far from village (Hodka) where we were staying. I had never seen a Common Crane before and was expecting to see a couple of them in Chari Dhand. But to our surprise, the moment we left the tarred road and headed towards Chari Dhand (water body approx 30 kms from the tarred road), there were flocks of common cranes every where (probably in thousands!). Our guide from the resort told us that they are just 10% of what they were a month back.
A mind blowing sight.
Taken with a 60D+400(5.6)+ 2x Kenko DGX tele converter via manual focusing as auto focus was quite a hit and miss the tele converter.
best wishes
