The best place to see Sykes's nightjar in India, is at the Little Rann of Kutch in winter. If you are planning a trip that passes close to Gujarat then get in touch with my friend Raj (details on card attached). He runs Desert Coursers - the place to stay. He will guide you to the nightjar and showed us two superb MacQueen's bustards as well recently. There was also an unexpected pallid scops-owl roosting in the grounds. The accommodation is basic but the food is the best we had on a recent trip to India.
