Montagu’s Harrier in Little Rann of Kutch

by Thomas | Apr 12, 2015 | Birds, Endangered Species, India, Little Rann of Kutch, Western India

While we were searching for the Desert Fox, read more about it here, we saw this nervous Nilgai mother with its calf. The moment we stopped the vehicle, they quickly disappeared into the shrub forest. We also saw a small herd of Wild Asses melt into the horizon during...

by Thomas | Mar 15, 2015 | Birds, India, Little Rann of Kutch, Western India

After the amazing sighting of the Striped Hyena, we drove around the Wild Ass Sanctuary looking for birds. And we hit jackpot when we spotted an Imperial Eagle in the distance. I liked the way the drivers here approach birds in the Sanctuary. They drive towards the...
