Abstract
Between 1996 and 1998, Sarus Crane (Grus antigone antigone) nests were examined during the breeding season in Kheda District, Gujarat. During this period 70 nests and 136 eggs were measured and described. The nests were mainly located in non-cultivable agricultural marshland. The nesting materials reflected the dominant plant species in that locale. Water level influenced the nest height as well as he use of nesting material. A strong attachment was noticed in terms of nest -site fidelity. The clutch size was two (n=68), however one information on clutch size of three was known only after the hatching of the eggs. Eggs in the same clutch showed significant difference (P < 0.01) in length and weight. Infertile eggs were slightly longer than viable eggs.
