Re: (delhibirdpix) The Commoners - # 44.107 - Sarus Crane (Grus antigone) - 2014-292

Wonderful Sir,

 A pleasure getting this report of an active Wetland breeding the Sarus.

Two issues :

 - Are the Locals conducive towards it ?

 - Feral Dogs ? (Menaka Gandhi's brigade).. They eat eggs & Chicks.

Regards- Navjit

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 is one of the Pairs that are in the process of building a Nest.  They were totally

unconcerned.  This Portrait is a crop from a Full Frame shot blown to 60"x40" (one can

see every feather in the blown-up image). The Sarus were close in Dadri Wetlands 

but they have given better images here.

Enjoy.
