The '''Lesser Florican''' (''Sypheotides indica'') is a large bird in the [[bustard]] family, the only member of the genus ''Sypheotides''. It breeds in [[Pakistan]], and is a rare summer visitor in [[Nepal]]. It has a very small, declining population, primarily a result of loss and degradation of its grassland habitat.

In their breeding display, the male jumps into the air above the grass level.

'''Derawar Fort''' is an ancient fort located in [[Cholistan Desert]] in [[Pakistan]] and is the [[National fort]] of the country.

The Fort was built by Deoraj, a prince of [[Jaisalmer]]. It was in possession of royal family of Jaisalmer when it was captured by Abbasis in [[1735]]. In [[1747]], the Fort slipped from the hands of Abbasis in the reign of [[Nawab Bahawal Khan]] due to his pre-occupations at [[Shikarpur]]. [[Nawab Mubarak Khan]] took the stronghold back in [[1804]].

The '''Jungle Crow''' (''Corvus macrorhynchos'') is a very widespread [[Asia]]n species of [[crow]]. They are very adaptable and are able to survive on a wide range of food sources making them capable of colonizing new areas due to which they are often considered a nuisance, especially on islands. They have a large bill and due to this they are also sometimes called '''Large-billed Crows'''.

__TOC__

==Description==

The overall size (46-59 cm in length) and body proportions vary regionally. In the far northeast in [[Japan]], the [[Kuriles]] and the [[Sakhalin]] peninsula, it is somewhat larger than the [[Carrion Crow]], while the form from [[India]] in the southwest of its range is appreciably smaller than the Carrion crow. All forms have a relatively long bill with the upper one quite thick and arched, making it look heavy and almost [[Raven]]-like. Generally, all forms have dark greyish plumage from the back of the head, neck, shoulders and lower body. Their wings, tail, face and throat are glossy black. The depth of the grey shading varies across its range to almost black in the Indian form.

==Distribution==
The range of this species is extensive and stretches from the northeastern [[Asia]]n seaboard to [[Afghanistan]] and eastern [[Iran]] in the west, and south to [[India]] down to the [[Malaysia]]n peninsula in the southeast. The [[Philippines]] also have a regional form. It occurs in woodland, parks and gardens, cultivated regions with a least some trees, but is a bird of more open country in the south of its range where it is not in competition with the Raven and Carrion Crow of the north.

==Habits==
Extremely versatile in its feeding, it will take food from the ground or in trees. They feed on a wide range of items and will attempt to feed on anything appearing edible, alive or dead, plant or animal. It is also one of the most persistent species and is quite bold, especially in urban areas. It is well known for its regular habit of killing domestic [[Chicken]]s, more so than any other species of Crow. In Japan, [[feral]] crows are considered to be a pest for ripping open garbage bags and taking wire coat hangers for their nests.

The nest is a platform of twigs, usually high up on a tree with a preference for tall [[Conifer]]s like Fir or Pine. There are normally 3-5 eggs laid and they are incubated for 17-19 days. The young are fledged usually by about the 35th day.

The voice is similar to the [[House Crow]] with which it is closest to, but deeper and usually more resonant and described as the usual loud "caaa-caaa-caaa". However it makes a range of calls, some which could be described as "cau cau" and others that could be mistaken for a woodpecker drumming.

The ''' House Bunting''', ''Emberiza striolata'', is a [[passerine]] [[bird]] in the [[bunting (bird)|bunting]] family Emberizidae, a group now separated by most modern authors from the [[finch]]es, Fringillidae.

[[Image:Emberiza striolata juv.jpg|left|thumb|Juvenile, race ''saharae'']]
It is a resident breeder of dry country from north [[Africa]] through south west [[Asia]] and into [[India]]. The House Bunting breeds around human habitation, laying 2-4 eggs in a nest in a hole in a wall or building. Its natural food consists of insects when feeding young, and otherwise seeds.

This bird is 14cm long, smaller than the similarly plumaged [[Rock Bunting]]. The breeding male has a chestnut body, and grey head with darker streaking. The female’s head has a brown tint to the grey, and more diffused streaking.

The nominate eastern race has stronger facial striping and a paler belly than the north African form ''E. s. saharae''.

The song, given from a perch, is similar, but weaker than, that of the [[Chaffinch]].
