Work trip to Gujarat state, with some wildlife encounters on the side; most notably:

• 6 new birds: ashy-crowned sparrow-lark, common babbler, dusky crag-martin, rosy starling, bank myna, andlittle ringed plover.
• northern plains grey langur

Today I joined an organised butterfly walk around Sunder Nursery in New Delhi, led by Mr Ishtiyak Ahamed.
The group spotted several butterfly species, plus lots of dragonflies, and a few other insects and birds.
Highlights:
-feeding grey hornbills
