Evening Surprise

While returning, In my life I have the first time got chance to see a nocturnal bird on the road from 6 feet distance in front of Car. Yes, it was the NightJar Nocturnal Bird (નિશાચર પક્ષી). The villager said it’s common to sight this bird here so everyone can get a chance to see it if comes in the night or early morning. So please be slow in driving the car to save this bird.

Then near the village, we have found Tetar which commonly appears in the villages.

We spent around 1 hr and it was refreshing to explore the unexplored. Must visit while you visit Shamlaji of Udaipur, you will not regret it.
