TRIP REPORTS
Trip reports are timeless works that make it possible for birders to visit new places and find new birds. A trip report is like a snapshot of what can happen when you visit a new location to find the bird of your dreams. It makes it possible for you to know about the best locations, the best season, and often what to expect from food, to roads, to accomodation and beyond. We have a collection of over 60 great reports by renowned birders covering most of the bird-rich areas of India. Dive in!

CHECKLISTS
No birding resource is complete without a checklist of birds of the country, state and hotspots. Checklists are the backbone of any birdwatching experience. They are never complete, almost never 100% accurate, but they are indipensible as a birding tool and give us a great idea of wehere particular species occur.
We present a collection of over 30 checklists from across India. Plus, of course, a list for India.
