262. Bay-backed Shrike (Lanius vittatus)
While I was stalking a common kestrel, this shrike was sitting down right next to me and offered this shot from 10 ft away.
190. Pied Kingfisher (Ceryle rudis)
263. Pallid Scops Owl (Otus brucei)
This owl was a regular visitor in the resort that we stayed in. It was so well camouflaged that you would struggle to spot it from two metres away.
264. Tawny Pipit (Anthus campestris)
So hard to tell this apart from Richard's or Blyth's. I'm trusting my guide's judgment on this one.

265. Common Crane (Grus grus)
266.Bar-headed Goose (Anser indicus)
267. Desert Wheatear (Oenanthe deserti)
268. Bar-tailed Godwit (Limosa lapponica)
269. Black-headed Gull (Chroicocephalus ridibundus)
This seems to be the first winter plumage.
270. Brown Rockchat (Cercomela fusca)
271. Common Stonechat (Saxicola torquatos)
272. Crested Lark (Galerida cristata)
273. Isabelline Shrike (Lanius isabellinus)
274.Indian Courser (Cursorius coromandelicus)
It felt miraculous that our guide actually spotted these while driving the car. After he pointed it out to us, it took at least 5 mins before wee caught them ourselves.
275. Pied Avocet (Recurvirostra Avosetta)
276. Rosy Starling (Pastor roseus)
277. Syke's Nightjar (Caprimulgus mahrattensis)
And finally, this beauty froze when our headlights fell on him right on our path.
