Thousands of Demoiselle Cranes flock to the small village of Kheechan every winter. Drawn here by the protection offered by the villagers and the huge quantities of grain scattered for them daily, it offers a great opportunity to watch these beautiful birds from close. Kheechan is about 140 kms from Jodhpur and 7 kms from the small town of Phalodi
The Demoiselle Cranes of Kheechan, March 2008
They let you come close, but that is only upto a point
At the village water body for a drink
Village boys scatter grain for the visitors...
...And an unconcerned motorcyclist drives past many unconcerned cranes
