Overview
The Indian monsoon is a glorious time of year. Not only is it a time of rejuvenation and rebirth for many of India’s wild places, but it also has a unique effect on the birds and animals that call India home. Those that are shy and secretive most of the year become active during this season, spurred by their need to court and breed.
This tour well uses this time to target some of India’s shyer birds that are best seen when they are busy with their courtship displays.
The key species we will look for in this tour is the Lesser Florican. We often find this highly endangered member of the bustard family in grassland patches, especially those around farmland. Lesser Florican is a secretive bird that likes tall grass and becomes active during the monsoon. Its courtship display makes it easier to spot for birdwatchers and photographers.
Besides, we'll try to find other birds that thrive in this season such as Jungle and Rock Bush Quails, Pheasant-tailed and Bronze-winged Jacanas, and Indian Pitta.
