A three member team of Sushmita, Rita and I spent a few hours in fog-filled Tal Chapar yesterday. Near the sanctuary in the village of Charvasa, amidst a huge flock of Demoiseille Cranes, was this immature crane. It was much larger than the adult cranes it stood with. One realistic possibility we thought was that it may be a juvenile Sarus, given the brown nape. Thanks to Arka, Tim and Hans, it was identified as a juvenile Common Crane. Pooniaji confirmed the presence of Common Cranes in the area. It was puzzling why it should be amongst the Demoisellie Cranes (it even flew off with the flock) - probably it had strayed away from its own kind.
