Jamnagar is many things at once — an industrial hub, a crowded city, and a working coast. And yet, every winter, migratory birds arrive in their thousands to feed, frolic and pause during their vast journeys. Across a mosaic of lakes, beaches, reservoirs, farms, and mangroves, local birders track their arrival — including Bitto Bhai, who waits for a particular bird like one would wait for 'valam', a beloved who leaves, and returns with the seasons.
