Beschrijving
The Jhalana Reserved Forest area is open all year round. It is a mix of valleys (in which the game trails are laid), fossilized fluvial sand dunes anchored to the Aravalli hills and the hills themselves. Old plantations of Acacia tortilis exist, done to stabilize the dunes. Some areas are grasslands and rest woodland. In the hill slope you get to see the Anogeisssus pendula forests that are typical of the Aravalli Hills.
This area not only offers the finest sightings of wild Leopards in the world (a statement I am making with responsibility), but is an amazing refuge of resident and migratory birds. A good population of Indian Peafowl, Jungle Babblers, Yellow-throated Sparrows, Bay-backed and Long-tailed Shrikes, Shikra, Spotted Owlets, Yellow-footed Green Pigeons, Crested Buntings, Black-rumped Flameback, Mahratta Woodpecker, Greater Coucal, Grey Fancolin, Jungle Bush Quail, White-bellied and Common Drongos are some of the resident bird species.
Summer and monsoon migrants include Pied Crested Cuckoo, Common Cuckoo, Common Hawk Cuckoo, Indian Cuckoo, Grey-breasted Cuckoo, Indian Pitta, Indian Paradise Flycatcher, Indian Golden Oriole, Marshall's Iora, etc. One can also observe Common Woodshrike, Grey-headed Bunting, and Grey-capped Pygmy Woodpecker.
Depending on season, Indian Scops Owl, Oriental Scops Owl (including the Orange Morph), Eurasian Scops Owl, Pallid Scops Owl, Brown Hawk Owl, Indian Eagle Owl have been recorded. Other raptors include, Eurasian Hobby, Northern Goshawk, Eurasian Sparrowhawk, Black eagle, Crested-seprent Eagle, Oriental Honey Buzzard, Bonelli's Eagle, Long-legged and Common Buzzard, White-eyed Buzzard, Black-winged Kite, etc. The Indian Nightjar is easily sighted.
