Media notes
Flock. Remarks: At around 8:00am we saw a big flock of birds flying in a circle. This is the time for migration of Alpine Swifts, so without looking through binoculars I screamed Alpine Swifts, but after looking through binoculars we saw they were Amur Falcons, the numbers kept on rising as many birds came from the East and joined the flock. We could get some shots of the flock. The flock kept on getting bigger, our rough estimation was about 200 birds. It was a mixed flock of males, females & juveniles. They gained height and finally disappeared on the West side towards Arabian Sea. We have been seeing Amurs as passage migrants but today's sighting was too good. For people studying migration of Amur Falcon today's GPS co-ordinates are 18°25.924'N 72°57.128' E. - VD. Date added to OBI: November 14, 2010.
