Summary[edit]

Description

I wasn't expecting 15-20 Harriers this time of the year, but then I don't know when they would start flying back. Montagu's and Pallid Harriers migrate to India from Central Asia during the winters and fly back sometime around end of this month.

Research indicates that the return at the base locations peak in April and that the bird takes anywhere from 18-25 days to make the return journey making around 180-200 kms per day. They make it in time for their breeding season I suppose.

We sighted several which seemed comfortable with us as long as we sat in our vehicle. When we tried step out and crawl closer, they had little patience for our antics and flew away.

Many thanks in advance for your views and feedback. Much appreciated.
