Curlew Sandpiper

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Love to frame breeding colors of birds.As i regularly went different-different places for breeding birds in Gujarat during April to May with my friend Dr.Pankaj Maheria. Last year,i had decided to visit Jamnagar for Breeding as its heaven for bird photographers and got a chance in the April end.<br />
it was very late for breeding colors as most breeding birds were fly away in the April end but still i went there.from our hotel to this place is 1+hr drive away so we reached there before sunrise and waiting for high tide to start and bird will come closer to shore.as tide started, find the place and lye down on ground for waiting of birds to come closure to us.after 30+min they had started walking towards us but sudden fly away and our all wait was over due to one well known photographer/mentor who was clicking photos just 200+meter away from us and due to fly away of small group of bird by crawling towards them,he stand up...1year waiting was gone.too much anger but forgot it and went back where our guide was sitting.<br />
Our Guide shows another folks and i had crawl for 100+ meter and taking photos and again this man came and all folks fly away. now we have no option to return.<br />
Pankaj told to visit other end of beach and we find few folks but not happy with this shot.<br />

Gujarat had record of sighting in 8th Feb 2012 by <a href="http://birdsofgujarat.co.in/bird_detail.php?id=3314" target="_blank">Kunal Joshi</a><br />
This Rarity again sighted on 31 december 2018 by Rajdeepsinh Jadeja and have a dream to go Jamnagar but no leave option,cudnt manage for it.somehow a manage 3 day with mine off for Little crack on 18th to 19th January 2019 but this program was postponed and trip made for Jamnagar.<br />
So i drive my cheetah to Bardoli around at 9.30am and parked at Viren's House,then we took his Elantra and driven towards Ahmadabad around at 10.30am.<br />
Pankaj was coming from Patan to Ahmedabad and with Vivek Mansata,they will join us but due to some issue Vivekbhai told to left Ahmadabad in evening.now Pankaj was Confused coz i have to left Jamnagar by 19th and he had decided to do birding on 20th so he also came with Vivekbhai in evening.<br />
we were near Bagodra and it was 3.30pm so we have lots time...(will share it in another article)...left Nal Sarovar at 6.30pm.<br />
Reached Jamnagar by 11.30pm and entered in Hotel Presidency,issue begin for booking as Pankaj did online booking for 2 room and showing only 1 room but hats off to owner <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mustak.mepani" target="_blank">Mustakbhai</a> who told to his attendant to give room and then ask to do booking online.Mustakbhai told to sit in his cabin till Pankaj and Vivekbhai came so we talked with them till 3am with very tasty tea,in between get a chance to meet <a href="https://www.facebook.com/yashodhan.bhatia" target="_blank">Yashodhan Bhatia</a>   <br />
Next Day we wake around at 6.30am and went location of Asian Dowitcher around at 7.30am and Kunal Joshi came there to guide us but we didn't sighted this rarity in whole morning session.So we went at other area and then went for a breakfast of favorite little Samosa.around 12pm we went at Lalabhai's shop to buy Pankaj's Nikon D850 and then went to Balachadi with Kunal Joshi for Red Knot.but again bad luck.<br />
Around 3.30pm decided to go at Dowitcher's Site so we were in Pankaj's car.Vivekbhai called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/chirag.solanki.1614" target="_blank">Chirag Solanki</a> one of good guide from Jamnagar for sighting of Common Ringed Plover and he told,Dowitcher is sighted come at location,Viveknhai told we were about to reach.<br />
After seeing me and Viren,Chirag aka Chiku, i will not let this two person to click Asian Dowitcher as they didnt told me that we were coming to Jamnagar...and smiled and hug us.We know Chiku when he come to surat and went for Forst Owlet as we know the exact location.Surprisingly we met with Ketan Shah,Dhyey shah and Anup Chavda,we shake hand and sit beside them.<br />
The Rarity was far away and took record shot and waited for 45+min and then it started walking.we had taken so many shots with video and sharing this one,its not a close shot bu loved frame.<br />

After taking breakfast at hotel,we went to Lakhota Lake around at 8.30am.Lakota Lake is a heart of Jamnagar city,situated in the center of city.many ducks and other bird came there in winter.<br />
Myself and Pankaj went inside to find birds.we were looking for good location n find it.we had clicked Gull-billed Tern,Common Pochard,Indian Spot-billed Duck,Brown-headed Gull,Slender-billed Gull,Rose-ringed Parakeet,Rock Pigeon,Common Coot etc then Pankaj told to move ahead at different location for other birds.we had sighted only Lesser Whistling Duck n clicked.<br />
We thought to move back at our family n sudden seen some terns were coming close to us.at first i had avoided to click but one of them was very close n clicked 3 shot.luckily it was a superb shot of River Tern till now.<br />
