The Lesser Florican is a small, endangered bustard species native to the Indian subcontinent. It is renowned for the male's unique 'exploding' display leap during the monsoon season.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Indian subcontinent, found in tall grasslands and cultivated fields, particularly during the monsoon season when they breed.
How to spot
Visit known florican sites within their restricted range during the breeding season. Watch for the male's characteristic display leap above the grass. Patience is key, as they are well-camouflaged when on the ground.
When to spot
Best observed during the monsoon breeding season (June-October) when males are actively displaying. Early mornings are often most productive.

The male Lesser Florican performs an incredible display leap, jumping up to two meters (6.5 feet) high while emitting a distinctive frog-like croak at the peak of its jump.
