Hi all,
With a bit of time off from work, Melissa and I, along with a few friends headed to western India for Dec 28-Jan 12. The main goal of the trip was to see Great Indian Bustard, but with 15 day to bird, we covered the "standard" Western Indian itinerary plus an extra day south of Ahmadabad.
The first stop of the trip was Harike which is located in the far north west, quite a drive from Delhi. The main reason for visiting here is a few range restricted species, specifically Jerdon's Babbler ssp scindicum, Rufous-vented Prinia, Sind Sparrow, and Brooke's Leaf Warbler.
Check out the blog for more details on our time in Harike
