Bhigwan - A birding profile

Varsha and I visited Bhigwan on 1st March 2010 (Monday). Reached the place around noon. We could not venture out under the hot burning sun. We had to bird from a shelter close by for the next four hours.

Few kilometres from Bhigwan is Diksal village, where a wetland has formed by the backwaters of river Ujni. We settled at the backwaters along the road between Diksal and Bhilarwadi sugar plant.

Here are few of photographs taken at the place:
