Remark : As Story posted at Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse Close up (Male) we reached at Fort Mahadev for our next day session with our friend Nirav Pomal,we were searching Black Francolin since we reached there but we cudnt find.Even we cant seen Grey Francolin so we lil disappointed and stopped the car at one point n came out to relax. Pankaj came with bino and searching thru bino n sudden some birds fly away,they were Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse, we missed shot.after 1-2 min we decided to go further inside so i went towards my seat n sudden i saw a movement far away from us.its in bushes so we cudnt seen even thru camera n bino.i asked Nirav to we shud go there n very carefully Nirav drive his car at that point n we all shocked coz it was Rock Bush Quail. i was sitting at backseat n right side so unable to frame this beauty but later on we didn't came out from car so they walked towards us n went inside.
