Tips

Do carry some food and water.

Drive in early morning or evening to meet

the residents. Negotiate sufficient wait

period with the driver beforehand for

uninterrupted birdwatching. Otherwise

you will miss the residents as the driver

would neither stop at the required spots

nor await the required time period.
