Spotted Sandgrouse was seen in
Gujarat after many years. We want to click the Spotted Sandgrouse so we planned
out trip to Kutch. We click many lifer on 25 January which include the Grey
Hypocolius, Red-tailed Wheatear, Sociable Lapwing and Stoclizka’s Bushchat.
Next day we kept for the Spotted Sandgrouse and Cream-colored Coursed. We
stared our journey early morning with Nirav Pomal and Ashu Gohil. We try to search
for the Spotted Sandgrouse but did not succeed. So we went to search for
Greater Hoopoe Lark. While searching for that our car get puncture. It’s take
almost 1 hr to restore. After that we start our search for our today’s target.
While searching Nirav Pomal saw two Cream-colored Coursed on road and we
immediate stop the vehicle and click some images. It was not allowed us to get
down and click the ground level shot. But we happy after getting them because that
was the lifer of the day and one of species for we are looking. After doing
photography of course we start our search for Spotted Sandgrouse. While
reaching to place where Nirav Pomal saw the bird last time. Nirav Pomal stop
vehicle little far and scan the area and our luck fav as and we found group of Spotted
Sandgrouse. They are foraging in group. We reach the place and click the images
of Spotted Sandgrouse.
