SMALL PRATINCOLE

One of the cutest bird can be seen in India & Southeast Asia which is of 16-20 cm found breeding on the gravels & sandbanks. We did sight the bird on the first day of our safari at BHADRA TIGER RESERVE, KARNATAKA. Out of six safaris we did learn the life of Pratincole what they do & how they survive. We have captured different moments of the bird where it feed its chicks, protects her chicks & breeds.
