I have been working on the ecology of long-legged wading birds especially storks and herons in north and north-east India. I worked extensively on Black-necked Stork’s ecology for my Ph.D dissertation and published my work in peer-reviewed journals. I also worked on the DST-sponsored project on the Critically Endangered White-bellied Heron in Namdapha Tiger Reserve, Arunachal Pradesh especially on the foraging behaviour as nothing is know about the species biology in India.
