Thank you! I hope you had a better travel experience than we had (getting to/from Gujarat/Rann of Kutch from Delhi in our case), especially the trip *from* there!!
Thank you for this wonderful video (and others)! Really appreeciate the background bird sounds instead of annoying music. My hometown is Ahmedabad so i was curious why you chose these two locations instead of the Little Rann of Kutch and Nalsarovar. I've seen Demoisselle cranes and flamingoes in LRK among other birds and mammals. Nalsarovar is a very large shallow lake that attracts hundreds of thousands of a variety of birds. Both these locations are within 90 mins drive from Ahmedabad and are the go to spots for wildlifers.
Hi, and thank you! About not changing the itinerary, I'm not sure. The trip was organized by Rockjumper, and maybe the lodging was already paid for when the change in flights were announced by the airplane company? I do not know. The extra days ended up not being optimal at all, what with all that ground transport time. When Rockjumper planned the trip, maybe 1 year in advance, the flight Delhi-Bhuj were still in play.
@@Hummingbirder1 ok yeah the tour operators should have considered these two locations seeing how close they are to Ahmedabad. That would have saved you a lot of time and energy. There is also the Thol bird sanctuary which is barely 30 mins from the city.
Oh my! What an exhausting trip! But so exciting filming all those lifers. I was so happy for you. I paused a lot, so I could read everything and not miss out. I know it's a while since you posted but I've just found you recently, and, I got to see you at the end, lovely. BTW you did very well bringing out the detail on the Golden Jackal considering all the dust. All the best to you Hummingbirder1.
Hi Joan (this is me, assuming that's your name, and one is never supposed to assume anything...) Thanks again for your considerate and uplifting comment! Yes, that was an exhausting trip, with not enough time at the goal location. It certainly left you wanting more, but sadly also knowing: there won't be more. I'm getting too old (and poor) to get abroad on expensive birding trips now. I might only have one left. We'll see. It will be Australia and it will be a real humdinger of a trip. Two months plus, next fall. Until then: only old stuff from my hard drive OR new stuff from around Sweden. Also: my name is Pia, so, if you want to, you don't have to call me by my "screen name". Either in a comment or just in a thought while looking at my stuff. I am visible on a few photos, often taken by my partner. Like the one showing off the best ice cream in Sweden (in our opinon) in a video from Skärhamn that I posted last year. (Play list linked at the end of this video, I think). All the best to you, and, hopefully: "talk" to you later. 🙂🥰
@@Hummingbirder1 I was so elated when I began reading your reply that I ran out to tell family about it half way through. Yes, my name is Joan (Huggett married name, Rodier maiden name). Now I know who Hummingbirder1 is; you are the Pia Duade mentions on his videos. I will watch out for that 'humdinger of a trip' when you come down under. And in the meantime, just know I will be enjoying myself on your channel. I'm so glad you said I could comment as I look since it's very hard to keep it to myself (as I did, when I was oohing and aahing looking at your South American slideshow videos, just recently.) Thanks so much Pia, you have made this day special.

Thanks for sharing this nice video, enjoyed. I had been there in Jan.

Amazing Photos and amazing place
Thank you! And, yes it is, I wish we could've stayed longer.
