Join us on an unforgettable birding adventure to Shokhliya, Rajasthan, in search of the critically endangered Lesser Florican. Despite the remote location, over 120 km from Ajmer, and the challenging weather with heavy rain, the thrill of spotting this elusive bird made it all worthwhile. Shokhliya is not just about the Lesser Florican-it’s also home to other remarkable species like the Nightjar, Indian Courser, and Rock Bush Quail.
Our trip was an eye-opener about the ground realities of bird conservation, beyond what movies or documentaries show. Each birding trip offers a deeper understanding of nature and a purpose that transcends mere observation. The unforgettable sight of the Lesser Florican's unique courtship dance, where it leaps into the air to attract a mate, was both a breathtaking moment and a powerful reminder of how crucial it is to protect these birds before they vanish.
Through shared experiences like this, society and the government can unite to safeguard such species, ensuring that future generations witness their beauty in the wild.
