Lakescape - 724 (Rynchops albicollis)

A Critically Endangered
species ...

Indian Skimmer at
Nazafgarh Wetlands ...
... a rarity here

It was a day long
search for this
individual in the
inundated winderness
covering close to
100 square kilmeters
of wetlands ... and
inundated fields ...

A single immature
individual ... moving
around with a group of
River Terns ...
... Probably, drifted
to this area with
them ... separated
from other members of
his species ...
