Remarks : This was a trip to find new Birding areas in and around Delhi. Trip report has been posted by Vineeta. We saw a total of 51 Sarus Cranes in the area the largest flock being 23. A place worth exploring for the winter birding. There are 13 in the group picture. It was hot and the Sarus had moved into the shade of the tree.
The second image is of two juv. Normally only one reaches adult hood. Good to see that the area is safe for both the live
