A chat by any other name..............

During our Greater Rann of Kutch trip in Jan 2009, we had finally diagnosed a bird in the Naliya grassland as a Common Stonechat. Adesh Shivkar called us up last week with the results of his research - the bird we had seen was a Stoliczka's Bushchat, and we can now add one more to our tally for the GRK trip (not to mention a lifer for us!)

That sounds like the name of a vodka!

The Jamnagar report was terrific.

thanks, flowergirl. The vodka you are referring to is Stolichnaya, and boy, did I miss it in Gujarat!
Jamnagar is a terrific place for easy birding, and needs to be a target site on all birdwatchers' maps.

Nice blog! I forwarded your blog to another doctor, Sudhir Warrier who specialises in repairing smashed hands (and other metacarpal mess-ups)and he too is interested in going to wild places. Keep plugging on! Cheers, Kiran Srivastava, Kandivali east
