Earlier this Week, I shared images of Bee-Eaters and Swallows, perched on the Wire

and waiting for something nice to happen soon.

Well this Something Nice has happened and I had been lucky to spend 75 Minutes

enjoying the Spectacle.

The Story:

This has been a exhilarating experience to see the wait of 32 Days fructify with the successful

hatching of the Eggs of this particular Pair of Sarus Cranes at Dhanauri Wetlands. The pair

laid eggs twice in 2018 but as the local villagers reported (their comments are on record but

I have muted these) that the eggs were taken away by some photographers in military type

fatigues (The Group is Known for its outing in number crossing 300 at times). Anyway, this

year it was a delight when I heard in the morning that two Chicks were visible. With Sincere

Apologies to the Boss, who perhaps needed my presence by her side after a minor surgery,

but the lure of such once in a life time sight - of two Chicks Swimming Together when seeing Crane Hatchling Swimming

is very rare. Taken on 18th Afternoon in the Evening Sunlight. Caveat: No disturbance

caused to the Cranes.

Two Hatchlings/Chicks.

A Video of both the Hatchlings Swimming together. (Five years ago, learnt for the first time that the

Crane Chicks/Hatchlings can swim and got a Video on one swimming).
