As per long Story posted in indian nightjar we reached our destination at 3am though we get ready at 6.30am for our wishlist.we had waited for 10.30am but failed to see my wish list bird so decided to go other place for other bird.
After drive of 15min, we saw a bird and stopped.it was an Asian Desert Warbler.took many shots but very active bird so not satisfied though sharing one of good shot from them.

Baillon's Crake

As i had posted in my article of Ruddy-breasted Crake that in birding you need more luck for sighting and for Rare,need your lucky friends.
As per plan wake up at 4.50am after sleep of 5hour and get ready within 35min with bath n breakfast.before starting my drive,called my both friend n came smile on my face that they were also ready at Bardoli. we met on National Highway 8 at Palsana cross road, where Viru Parked his Elantra n we were on the way to Chikhali.
it was a drive of 70-80km n reached around at 7am at our desire location.Where we meet senior Birder Proff P C Patel sir and Proff Anil Bhatt sir, they told us for location and we sit there.We got good shot of Ruddy-breasted Crake but all are in low light.
we were looking for shots in sunlight so we moved from there and sit little away from there but we didn't succeed.we thought to go at another place n Anil sir introduce with Dipakbhai Patel.while we were walking sudden saw Baillon's Crake far away n took record shot.
Even it was long distance shot but making an outstanding the frame so sharing it.
