A very beautiful bird showcased through lovely sketches and photographs.

I totally agree, that we are losing lot of our amazing wildlife and hardly a few people seem to care about it. It is sad that these days people have lost touch with nature and have no time to think of what will happen if the nature surrounding us is replaced with buildings and roads and highways. All the government seem to care about is development (in any way possible) without thinking the repercussions on nature and to top that people also support that.

I can understand the pain of knowing that this amazing bird might be lost forever. You are lucky you were able to witness its charismatic flight. I hope I am able to travel to Manas soon to see it with my own eyes before its too late. Thanks for sharing this wonderful article. Look forward to more.
