(delhibirdpix) The Commoners - # 44.105 - Sarus Crane (Grus antigone) - 2014-286

The newly found Wetland is most probably going to rock the coming season despite 

very limited rain.

We explored this area essentially for Sarus Crane and indeed found a great area.

So far six nests - one possibly hatched (the first one, could not be seen - the eggs

hatched and the Sarus moved away to the feeding areas or got washed away but 

there were no remnants left) , three still with eggs and two in the process of building

up.

This pair showed the typical behaviour seen at the time of building of the nest with

the male predominantly digging the nesting material and the female making the nest.

The Video link below shows this behaviour and also we can see a pretty good number

of Migratory Waterfowl that was not seen last week.

Here is the link:

Enjoy.
