The Banni Grasslands
6th March 2013
Our host Jugal Tiwari had arranged a local guide to take us birding in the region of Banni Grassland. He was an ok chap, knew the terrain pretty well. He was aware of the names of the species that habited the area. The drive through the Banni region was awesome, flat land stretching to hell and buggery, with sparse babul bushes to dot the parched and dusty terrain. No more rhetoric on this area see the photographs that I’m posting and hope you enjoy them as much as I had did clicking them.
