(delhibirdpix) The Commoners - # 44.61 - Sarus Crane (Grus antigone) - 2011-172

Made a trip to Surajpur - new proposed bird sanctuary -25 kms to the east of Delhi. Looks a potentially good sight.

My day was made when we noticed a pair of Sarus with a Young. Cannot be more than 2-3 weeks old based on what I had seen last year - a newly born chick and then at about 4-5 weeks interval.

Other usual birds. Openbill Storks and Black-Headed Ibises seem to be preparing to nest atop the palm trees. A solitary Cinnamon Bittern. Golden Oriole pretty active.

Cheers.
