Return from Chambal 17.02.24         

 

So 2 days in Keoladeo produced 93 species (though a few already seen in the UK). There are two or three others seen but saved because better photos are to come later in the trip.

@BRACQUENE@xelasthank you

@Soukousthank you. Did you go at a similar time of year? I think we were lucky with the weather also, and had an experienced guide.

I have looked back to our previous visit 5 years ago at a similar time of year. We got 55 additions in 2 half day visits.

This trip was at the beginning of our overall trip wheras the previous on was at the end, so we may not have photographed birds we had already seen.

 

A few more from the journey towards Chambal
