In this second episode we feature Blyths Reed Warbler... Malabar PiedHornbill and Whitebrowed Wagtail
The Blyths Reed Warbler was always around at the back of the homestay jumping and picking up insects and flies on the move!
One had to keep up with the Whitebrowed Wagtail as it moved very quickly on the ground. Was lucky it flew up into the tree where it gave us some good footage as it kept singing and preening itself.
Highlight was the Malabar PiedHornbill which we saw at a far distance in the fading light and lifting his head and making this loud woofing call.
As we wrap up this episode2 of our journey through Banda Sawantwadi's hidden gem, let's remember the importance of preserving such natural habitats for birds and nature enthusiasts alike. It's crucial to protect these sanctuaries for future generations to enjoy and appreciate
