Hi Doc,
ReplyDeleteWell documented trip report and thanks for sharing.
Brown Headed Gulls in summer plumage are awesome. Appreciate if you could share the exact location? Living in Qatar I get the opportunity to visit Kerala only in Dec. Do you think they can be seen there at that time as well?
Kind regards,
Dileep
