<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Chilling cold around at 4am on 25th Dec'15 and wake-up for trip to 
Shoolpaneshvar. After everything ready i was driving my car with my 
family n reached Netrang around at 7.30am where my Friends 
Hirenbhai,Virenbhai n Himanshu were waiting for us as i was late due to 
heavy traffic as i was on the rout Surat-Hansot-Ankleshwar-Netrang and 
they came from Bardoli-Mandvi-Netrang.<br />
My close friend Dr.Pankaj 
also on same trip but he was not coming to Shoolpaneshvar as he went in 
past so he start his journey when we left Netrang.he told me to go at 
Zarwani Waterfall for birding so we had decided to go this place.<br />
while
 we were on way to Rajpipla, dont know the location but exact at one of 
up hill i stopped the car as i saw a purple color sunbird on a tree near
 by road n one big bird far away to it.so we all went to frame it n 
climb at little hill.it was White-eyed Buzzard.within 1-2min it fly away
 n Hirenbhai sudden smell a dead animal,so he asked any wild animal is 
coming/going inside the jungle.He sighted the Jackal.out of we 4 
Photographers,only Virenbhai was lucky to frame it clearly.<br />
Then 
we started trip to reach there as early as possible and after driving of
 30min,when i saw in my car's rear view mirror,there was no innova 
car.so thought i was on a speed of 110km/h, may be i am so faster, so 
parked my car at side of road n waited....5min passed but they didn't 
came. finally i called Hirenbhai but there was network problem so unable
 to talk, decide to go back to see what happens. after drive of 
2-3km,they were clicking Greater Couccal as it was just 5ft away from 
there.<br />
Finally we reached at a Forest check point where we paid 
our car entry fee of 400 per car.Again photo shoot started,now it was 
with Rufous Treepie.<br />
After 10min of Photoshoot we moved ahead for 
our destination.before this waterfall, i saw a minivet and stopped car 
so we again started photoshoot.while we were busy in clicking small 
minivet,Hirenbhai sighted White-bellied Drongo n we moved to it.when i 
was clicking drongo,i was just looking here n there n seen black color 
bird n thought for Tit so moved towards this bird,clicked 2 shots n fly 
away.i was looking where it goes n sudden sighted woodpecker. literally i
 run to click as it was very small in size from far away n clicked for 
record shot.when i had seen in camera's lcd, i was very happy as it was 
pygmi woodpecker.then i called my friends to click but very slowly. 
there we enjoyed clicking as clicked 5+ bird species.<br />
Then we went to see waterfall by trekking of 1-2km passing thru low level water of river.we had enjoyed there for 30-40min and returned.<br />
our target was to go at Sagayi waterfall and it was around 80km but our guide told us for another road which was 15-20km n we were on this way.after drive of 5km on mountains like some roads were 45degree ups and then sudden 45 degree down.we were hungry n we stopped at one place for our lunch n did.<br />
after getting fresh we were on the way again.just drive of 1km,i saw a Black-winged Kite was hovering n not much above.i had clicked in past but my friend had didn't clicked it so stopped my car n asked them to click.even i had click coz looking much beautiful.<br />

Reached around at 8.30am but didn't seen the Short-toed Snake Eagle on a cut coconut tree where this beauty regularly sit.waited for 30-40min but it didn't come so thought to go ahead for another birds.enjoyed clicking Indian Roller,Black Drongo,Stonechat,etc n return again that place after 1hour but bad luck continued n decided to go back home.<br />
while i was driving bike,i was looking both side of road n after drive of 1km stopped the bike as i had seen different looking bird far away from road,focused in camera but unable to identify bird coz it was more then 800mtr away.parked the bike n started walking towards it very carefully n also clicking for record shots.<br />
