The Great Indian Bustard is a critically endangered and iconic large bird endemic to the Indian subcontinent. A magnificent ground-dwelling species, it is a flagship for grassland conservation.
Where to spot
Primarily found in scattered, protected populations across western and central India. Its preferred habitat includes arid and semi-arid grasslands, scrublands, and open agricultural fields.
How to spot
Due to their critically low numbers and shy nature, observing them requires patience and often a local guide. Look for them in remote, undisturbed grassland areas, using binoculars or a spotting scope for distant observation to avoid disturbance.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Best observed during the cooler parts of the day—early morning or late afternoon—when they are actively foraging. The breeding season typically coincides with the monsoon rains.
