Checklist Kutch Coastal Region Birds (Trip Report 11-1-05 to 16-01-05)  

I had been on survey of Coastal Region of Kutch District in Gujarat from 11-1-05 to 16-1-05. I had travelled 1800 Km across the Kutch District for survey of Coastal Fisherman Villages.

    I come across very diverse habitat from Desert/Rann, ScrubForest, Grassland, Wetlands (Inland and Coastal) and many more ,,...

    It was really life time memory for me.......
