Rain Quail - Bhigwan- July 2021

Bhigwan is best known for sighting and photographing most of the waterbirds, and the appropriate season would be visit in winter months..Nov-March...But this time made a visit in rainy season, month of July to explore the grasslands around Bhigwan.

In rainy season, the most expected/desired bird is the "Rain quail"...Normally this bird remains highly secretive, but in rainy season the males are often seen calling out loudly to reach out to surrounding males/females declaring its territory and dominance. We could spend the early cloudy morning with this male. Could shoot its ample moods and behaviour from a car. Could observe it calling out with all vigour and preening and cleaning itself. 

Here are few of the photographs made.
























All photos taken with Nikon Z6II+500 mm f4 vR.
