Happy new year to BF members.
I'm going to Eaglenest (NE India) on a birding trip and ahead of that I'm looking to have a few days in the Delhi area, from 9 to 14 April (some flex).
Key targets are: Indian Courser, Indian Skimmer, Black-bellied Tern, Sand Lark
Itinerary could be something like this:
Day 01: Delhi to Sultanpur for half day birding, later drive to Bharatpur
Day 02: Full day in Bharatpur (key bird is Indian Courser)
Day 03: Bharatpur - Chambal - river trip for Indian Skimmer and Black-bellied Tern
Day 04: Spare day to target birds
Day 05: Bharatpur or Chambal to Delhi (Okhla Island?)
Day 06: Could add another day if helpful
Will be with a car and driver / guide which I'm looking at now. If anyone is in the area or interested in teaming up please let me know. If any birders can recommend a driver / guide then I'd be very grateful (as this could increase my options).
Many thanks
Mike
