Birding at Bhigwan II

Been to Bhigwan in Feb this year; due to good rains everywhere very few migratory birds were seen in feb; so wasn't very keen on visiting it but after speaking to local expert Marutikaka who promised to take to a colony of Painted storks, thought of giving it a shot, trip was tiring due to scorching sun but was worth it.

Nest colony of many birds like Painted Stork, Grey Heron, Cormorant, Night Heron, Pond Heron, BlackHeaded White Ibis; mostly from security point of view.
