Reports and Checklists
The following trip reports are either my own, or they are reproduced with the permission of the author. All reports dealing with the Natural History of the Indian subcontinent are appropriate for this site. If you would like to include your trip reports here, e-mail them to me at yogeshw \at/ iitbombay.org. HTML or PDF formats are strongly preferred. Alternatively, provide me with a WWW URL, so I can include a pointer here. Entries in italics are pointers to documents at other sites over which I have no control. All other entries are stored here. I'm not interested in mere species lists, but rather in reports with a well written narrative. My own bird checklists are available on ebird.
