<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> As per urgent plan for Hingolgadh,i had talked with my best guide Akbarbhai for White-winged Tern sighting in Nal Sarovar coz i was unable to go there and click it since last 2yrs.Akbar told that there is a 50 % chance coz water level was just 1ft+ and 2-3 White-winged Tern were there.<br /> So on 20/06/17 started my journey towards Nal Sarovar Bird Sanctuary at 5am from Surat and meet my friends Viru and Abhay at Kamrej cross-road on NH8,they were coming from Bardoli.we reached there at 10.45am and went a location for our mission White-winged Tern started with Akbar, Ashraf & 2 boatman.<br /> we came out from car and feel was like we were put in the pre-hot oven coz AC temperature was at 16 degree C and outside temperature was 42 degree C+.walked for 1+km and again mine condition worsen.(i had skipped last 2yrs trip for this reason coz this tern came during hot climate at Nal Sarovar).Akbar was searching White-winged Tern thru his Binocular and i was thru my camera.After 30min Akbar find it and we went inside the lake thru boat.<br /> it was very hard to go inside due to low water level,they are walking in the lake and pushing our boat from behind.and luck goes down,White-winged Tern fly away coz we were passes from chick of Red-wattled Lapwing & Black-winged Stilt so they started giving alarm call.we tried for flight shot but failed.after 10+min again they came and clicked 5+ flight shots.<br /> <span data-offset-key="d4fk-0-0"><span data-text="true">it was very difficult to find This Tern(just 2-3 were there) out of 100+other terns from the boat and with handheld then focus n click.</span></span> <br /> here is one of them.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh32-PD3zWEsYOushMqjrQ8amY_fZALn9nY7UaZftBeJ_0PKJVpy7PIVqcoxNui6hgIfnwXHSXqP4PDpdbfn97944SFhx4EuCX19HTFxjO8QQgSd3ieod8eqsdFHi9Q06xmMGK54_lP0W2K/s1600/White-winged+Tern.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh32-PD3zWEsYOushMqjrQ8amY_fZALn9nY7UaZftBeJ_0PKJVpy7PIVqcoxNui6hgIfnwXHSXqP4PDpdbfn97944SFhx4EuCX19HTFxjO8QQgSd3ieod8eqsdFHi9Q06xmMGK54_lP0W2K/s640/White-winged+Tern.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> Exifs :<br /> Canon 7D Mark2<br /> Manual Mode<br /> f /8|| Shutter speed 1/3200 || ISO 640 || 600mm || White Balance : Daylight<br /> Nal Sarovar, Ahmadabad, Gujarat</div>
