Had the saturday half day... decided to visit Mandvi beach near Gandhidham. Excellent beach and town. The town also has a small pond which was host to a lot of "phorenar pakshis".

Spotted some birds in a farm outside Gandhidham... stopped to have a dekko... DSCN1178.jpg	the birds DSCN1179.jpg	thoda aur zoom karen... DSCN1180.jpg	look like cranes... DSCN1181.jpg
