Having more than 1300 bird species, including over 75 endemics, it is hard to resist the lure of India – something I know from personal experience.

When I returned from my first passage to India and started my story to my best mate, he asked: No, no, don’t skip anything, start from the beginning, from landing.

I birded savannas of Southern Africa, I birded India and Central America, and I always missed having a local mammal guide with me. Yes, field guides to other groups of organisms, as there’s hardly any room left in your baggage or the energy to carry it. Yet, those bird guides are hefty. Larger species, that is, excluding dolphins and whales.

6%: Antarctica, Argentina, Indonesia (including the votes for West Papua), India. A lot more needs to be done to protect and sustainably utilise that biodiversity, although with the Brazil’s current president, it seems highly unlikely. 4%: Mexico, West Papua (Indonesia), New Zealand, South Africa, Kenya. 8%: Brazil, Panama.

So, beside a lot of birds and the sunny sky, I want the coldest thing to experience year-round to be my beer. India (1180 / 1171). Map by BirdLife International. As is every one after it.

If you cannot share the bird with your guest, try not to share the experience because it makes everything they have seen a little league birding, compared to your mega tick. And that experience has recently put me in a role of an ecotourism consultant in a project aiming at creation of a local ecotourism product.

I observed this species in the Little Rann of Kutch in India and since then, have been burning with desire to see them back home. The world record holder is the town of Kikinda, further north, with 700 birds in their town square which has recently become an officially protected owl habitat – a small, urban nature reserve.
