what a great day it is going to be. So it was.
On perfect morning for birding - beautiful birds, beautiful light,
beautiful weather and great company - you do tend to get the perfect
experience.
Dadri is indeed rocking. Though I cannot count beyond 27 and have no
intention of iterating like a Consultant to arrive at the number of
birds seen, I can Guestimate - upwards of something like 50000 both on
ground and on in air. A spectacle when they all take off to celebrate
with the villagers around who fire shots in the air to celebrate
weddings in the family (wedding season has begun). Just as we
approached the central point, gun shots went off in the distance and
the birds took off from all sides - one flock, then another, then
another, then another. No way to share the experience except words -
stupendous sight.
Did not keep a count but nearly one hundred species including some new
arrivals - Pochards, Common & Tufted, not seen in previous visits.
Here is a pair of Common Pochards.
Cheers.
