Isabelline Shrike/ Daurian Shrike
The Isabelline Shrike (Lanius isabellinus) is a member of the shrike family (Laniidae) found in an extensive area between the Caspian Sea and north and central China southeast to the Qaidam Basin. It is a common winter visitor to different parts of the Indian Subcontinent which is when I spotted a rare visitor to the Narsapur Forests.

The red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis), also called the Manchurian crane or Japanese crane (Japanese: 丹頂鶴 or タンチョウヅル; rōmaji: tanchōzuru), is a large East Asian crane among the rarest cranes in the world. In some parts of its range, it is known as a symbol of luck, longevity, and fidelity.
