Sand grouse birds (batwans) have started appearing in many places in the district. Bird Conservation Society president Mahendra Vikram Singh said that Sand Grouse is also known as Batavan. They are not easily visible due to the color resembling clay.
These days Batavan can be seen in the fields and plains of Tilonia, Chandsen, Jhadwas, Baghsuri, Banevada, Richmalia, Bandanwada, Bhatiyani region. He said that there is a slight difference between the wings of male and female batwans. Male is more than female in weight.
