Sammy, yes, I can recognize the ibis and the stork in your photos should be the one I saw there
Right, the guide I hired also told me that 2007 is not a good year to visit the Bharatpur bird sanctuary as almost all the ponds are dried-up because the rainfall in 2007 is much less than normal and it is unusual. Very few water-fowls can be seen there. Because of that, he mainly shown me the nightjars and owls.
