Keoladeo Park

Keoladeo was created as hunting preserve. Rajas and their British royal guests would go hunting for ducks and anything else that moved. The record is something like 4500 ducks shot in one hunt by three British royals.
Now it is a wildlife preserve of sorts. There are thousands of migrating ducks and geese and it is home to the Sarus Crane, the tallest of flying birds. We have been here three days and identified about 120 species of birds and sighted mongoose, jackals, spotted deer, blue bulls, pythons , lizards and turtles.
Tomorrow we get reunited with our driver of two years ago. Our plan was to go to Kashmir. Today there was a terrorist attack killing forty Indian soldiers. We may have to scrap that plan.
