A short drive away from Jodhpur is the Dhawa Doli Wildlife Sanctuary. Early one July morning, this Red-vented Bulbul was spotted having a meal.

Late July evening, at the feet of Mehrangarh Fort situated in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, in a dusty parking lot hacked out of the Aravalli rock, perched upon an Acacia tree overseeing a cluster of vends was this Buteo rufinus. It was Sharang who spotted it first and I was out of the car in a jiffy.
