Going gentle into that good night: The Great Indian Bustard - travel travails and heck Musing on the Great Indian Bustard, a ground-dwelling bird species found only in the Indian subcontinent which is critically endangered today.

In the windswept dunes of Desert National Park 🇮🇳, the #GreatIndianBustard plods along - awkward, aloof and almost gone... 🌵

A gentle giant fading away into the oblivion... one wonders if it can be saved, or will it go gentle into that good night... 🪶
