Rakesh, I was directed to your excellent blog on bird photography by your friend Darshan Naik, in Seattle, WA USA. My wife and I have photographed birds since the middle 1970′s. We use Canon EOS 7D cameras with the Canon EF 600 mm f/4. We love the equipment. We primarily photograph waterbirds, and I found your blog on photographing shorebirds interesting and informative. You can do a google search on our nemes to see some of our waterbird conservation work. Keep up the great work.

Many thanks for your outstanding report, the first coverage of this bird in India that I have seen! I look forward to coverage of this species in its return spring migration next year. Bill Noble

What a lovely write up Rakesh. Thoroughly loved the trip report alongwith the pics (Would have loved to see larger pics of these beauties).
I have been reading about these two places a lot off late and I am craving for these places now after reading your report

These speed champions look so magnificent. I wish you had better lenses and could get some close-up shots. Thank you for the information. I live in north east India and would be eagerly waiting for them from now on with my eyes towards the sky.

Comment on USEFUL CONTACTS by Tushar Nidambur

Thanks for the info Rakesh!

I had been to Sahar airport yesterday (July 13, 2011). We now have an entire bldg named ‘Airport Health Organisation’ dedicated to vaccinations / quarantine etc. This was thrown open about 10 days ago!

The bldg is situated a 100m or so before the flyover. Its a new structure AND surprisingly very clean and neat (as of now). They have a pantry too (not operational as of yesterday)

Procedure remains the same:
1. Go there to register (10am – 11:30am)
2. Passport and tkt required (with the 13 digit tkt number)
3. The guy there will write your regn number on the reverse of your tkt.
4. You are asked to return by 11:45am
5. First 30 are taken to the 1st floor. Fill up the ‘yellow card’ yourself and await your turn.
6. When your number is announced, pay the fees (Rs. 300) and submit the pp / yellow-card at the counter / sign the register
7. You are let into the doc’s room in batches of 5.
8. Its over in a jiffy and absolutely painless!
9. Collect pp / ‘yellow-card’ on the way out!
10. REMEMBER TO TAKE THE CARD ALONG WHEN U TRAVEL

Note: Only 70 vaccinations per day. It would be wise to send someone ahead to register and then land up there at 11:45
