Nice record shot. Where is this Chandigarh forest?

This is going to be the state of affairs. First the common sparrow became uncommon. Then the house crow (Corvus splendens) and its brethren are going to become/becoming rare. I am not sure whether the one in picture at the left is a punjab raven (Corvus corax subcorax) or a Brown-necked Raven (Corvus ruficollis). Have to check the detailed attributes from the book.

Cheers,
