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.
