BIRDING IN INDIA 🇮🇳 BIRDS OF KUTCH Gujarat | Bird Watching in BHUJ

Описание: Kutch or Kachchh is a well-known destination for birding. It gets its name from Kachua, which means a tortoise. Kutch, is composed of two major areas, Great Rann of Kutch and Little Rann of Kutch . It also includes part of the finest grassland of Asia called “Banni”. The Kachchh area supports around 370 species of birds, both resident and migratory.

The video was filmed in Bhuj which is the administrative center of Kachchh on the Hamirsar Lake which is a natural habitat for many species of birds.

Some of the birds in this video:

The Painted Stork is a large wading bird in the stork family. Painted Storks are predominately non-migratory and most make only local movements. It is found in the Asian continent, covering the area from India and Sri Lanka to Southeast Asia. Their distinctive pink tertial feathers is what gives them their name. They are voiceless and the only sounds they make are weak moans or those produced by their bills clattering. The Painted Stork is classified as Near Threatened and unfortunately is close to qualify for threatened category in the near future.

The Eurasian Spoonbill or Common Spoonbill is a wading bird of the Ibis and Spoonbill family and can be easily identified by its spoon-shaped/spatula tip of the bill. They are mostly silent as they lack voice producing capabilities. Even at their breeding colonies the main sounds are bill snapping, occasional deep grunting and occasional trumpeting noises.

The Eastern Great Egrets are moderately large birds. They measure 80 to 100 cm in length and weigh 700 to 1,200 grams. They have a white plumage and black bill. Breeding birds have yellow bill. The legs are red or black. The breeding birds have long neck plumes. Their neck is very long; one and a half times as long as their own body. They roost in large flocks.
