In Bharatpur last year late December. Our guide took us to the scrub area on the right when you enter the park, moving as silently as we could could. As luck would have it, we chanced upon the Eurasian stone curlew before it became aware of our presence. However the surprise element was quite short lived and it sped off into the undergrowth, being a shy an elusive bird. We waited patiently for a while hunched behind some bushes and it came into open view after a while. It observed us from far warily as I took this shot.
