Kuno Palpur before Cheetah

This video is about Kuno Palpur National Park in Mahdya Pradesh state in Central India. This park was selected as the place to reintroduce wild Cheetahs to India after they became extinct since over 75 years.
This movie is mainly about the birdlife in this park as i managed to document it in my visits there before the introduction project.

Theres something meditative about your videos. As a birder and evolutionary geek myself I would like to scout wilderness with you someday

I am really impressed with this video. Beautiful images of an incredible amount of birds and the editing and voice over are excellent.

You secured very fine species of local group in large quantity. Hays off to you for your hardworking. I like it.

[@IITBombayBirds]

Yet another great video! Glad to see so many raptors in the park.

[@IndiaOffbeat]

Long awaited. Nice to see u active on KZbin. Always most pleased to watch your high quality content. Is mr. James Champion is associated with all your videos or is it just here.

[@mrdavidstanton]

He is narrating all my movies in the last few years.

[@IndiaOffbeat]

@@mrdavidstanton he is my FB friend. I stayed at FRHs in Himalayas where his grand pa stays and he shares such nice trivia and stories always. I think he has some celebrated & priced Raj wildlife photos in London galleries too.

You seem to collect a lot of information about this area, I am surprised. I bought a small farm in tiktoli after extensive search and due diligence. The reason is my love for forest and nature. I often visit and camp there. At night we are visited by almost all the animals from the park as i share the boundary with the forest. You are welcome to join me next time :-). The nights are full of adventures with a lot of animal visits.

Thnxs for Sharing Another awesome video from you guys Keep up the good work 👌

[@junglie]

Thanks david, god i miss india & it's incredible bird & wildlife.think i left part of my heart in goa & another part in the himalyas tbh.

[@mjshbhasm7263]

Sounds: as. It is Nature has its own sounds, then earth has its rotational sound, air, trees due air modulation sound peculiarly, then if in jungle has its own sound & in all these areas the back grounds r chripping of birds without which Nature wouldn’t b full in its rhythm. I experienced it well. Even in busy Mumbai at a signal where I stopped my car I heard cuckoos in morning 7 am looking as seasonal, crows ravens near a tea hut then at BMNC office multiple sounds of horns birds dogs humans auto rickshaws best buses dominating all very fine melodies of available birds within that areas felt my senses arouse. Wah!

Beautiful video David 💖 and so lovely to see Keko 💖 and that you've dedicated this video to his memory 💖

[@soumakbinduwildlife]

wow

[@akshaygoaphotography8167]

Wow ❤

[@mjshbhasm7263]

On birds - I don’t offer any comments, if I do it’s a sin, you did well - as as it is birds r very shy & wont directly they come in front or they photo savvy😂however as we put our great efforts we will more & more. I did that way in Darjeeling, Kalimpong & Gangtok extensively to my satisfaction

[@soumakbinduwildlife]

Hope cheetah will survive in kuno

[@farflownfalcon1076]

Lovely video. Are there any places in India where a tourist can self drive in a National Park like Kuno Palpur, as they might do in Kruger National Park in South Africa?

[@mrdavidstanton]

Not like in Kruger. There is only 1 Kruger in the world. In India you may be able to self drive in wildlife sanctuaries but not in tiger reserves. Unlike SA, India has big problems with wild elephants.

[@apurbadebnath3929]

which country are you from. Would like to know about wildlife in your own country. Europeans are more interested about wildlife in global south countries, on the otherhand wiped out native wildli and forest in their own country. Search about wildlife situation in your country dude. Let indians preserve their wildlife.

[@KaushlendraSingh-dn2vz]

I had met you in Chopta in April last , good coverage, I disagree with the cheetah re-introduction, firstly as the Tiger in many parts of the country are neglected and most of the people avoid the truth , secondly cheetah introduced is exotic and introduction is against the principle of not introducing non indigenous animals n birds , cheetah introduced n cheetah which went extinct are different species, so much money has been spent on this project and in sharp contrast most of the tiger reserves suffer without funds , in my state Uttar Pradesh daily wagers working as ‘ watchers’ are being paid for past 13 months a meagre sum of approximately 5800/- per month as a result of this theft of forest produce worth several crores takes place, none of the tiger reserves in U P has any 4 wheel drive vehicles!

[@mrdavidstanton]

I remember you from chopta. How are you?....I don't take part, I only describe what happens. I usually support government decisions on my movies. As a foreigner who live in this country, it is always wise. Pls watch my other movies.

[@KaushlendraSingh-dn2vz]

@@mrdavidstanton yes you are absolutely right , my position as a local citizen is definitely different and I can say what I like and it is my constitutional duty, you please carry on with your good work .

[@ganeshpai3305]

Tbh, thers not a lot of difference between african and Asiatic cheetah

[@yashs7537]

Cool videos , do u have an Instagram account?
