A couple of days back as I was leaving the office movement on an adjacent shed caught my attention. A closer look and I saw a few birds on the roof in what looked like a meditative trance. About 20 mins latter when the light was almost gone they started to fly on to the nearby fields. No binoculars and fading light made me call it a day.
I returned the next day armed with bino and camera hoping that the birds would still be there. They were there alright about 15 of them again in a meditative trance occasionally calling out. I sent the above snap to Sachin Shurpali and Guruprasad Thimmapur to make an ID of what turns out to be a Eurasian Stone Curlew. Info at this link too.
Today is the third day that these birds have been around. I hope they stick around :).
Nice to see it near Hub-Dwd :)
