Bhigwan, which is approximately 100 kms away from Pune on the Pune-Solapur highway, is one of charismatic birding location, every year in winter many many of birders and photographers can not resist to visit.
I made two trips this year, birding at the regular spots i.e. Diksal and Kumbhargaon Village. Following are some the photographs presented for your comments and critic.

Hi Ritesh, brilliant photography! Need some advice from you abt planning a trip to Solapur to try and see the Great Indian Bustard. I know the trip is totally worth it in terms of seeing lots of other flaura and fauna, but realistically what are the chances of seeing a GIB there? Are there better chances of seeing some in other sanctuaries?
