I am not fully convinced that there is any such fixed mating season, Feb-April, as very few people visit the sanctuary during the monsoon May-Sept. Mating may not be confined to the spring months. Pairs were seen twice in August 1953. I am now inclined to believe that the main mating season is Feb-April, but that mating also occurs in Jan and May, and possibly also occur in June, July and August.
