SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Bangalore University Campus\, Bangalore
DESCRIPTION:Bird Walk at Love Kush Vatika\, Dholpur\, Rajasthan				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n							\n							\n											\n													\n										Rajasthan\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										14 March\, 2026\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										Divya\n									\n						\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					About Love Kush Vatika				\n				\n				\n				\n									Located in the historic city of Dholpur\, Love Kush Vatika is a beautifully developed green space that offers a refreshing pocket of nature in the semi-arid landscape of eastern Rajasthan. Spread across landscaped gardens\, open lawns\, and patches of native and ornamental trees\, the area provides a diverse urban habitat where flora and fauna can thrive. Flowering shrubs\, shade trees\, and small water features attract insects\, butterflies\, and a variety of birds\, making the park a lively ecosystem throughout the year. For birdwatchers\, Love Kush Vatika presents a delightful mix of species—from sunbirds and bulbuls flitting through flowering plants to doves\, drongos\, and barbets calling from the canopy. Early mornings here are especially rewarding\, when the park comes alive with birdsong and movement among the greenery.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Beyond its aesthetic charm\, Love Kush Vatika plays an important ecological role by providing green cover and habitat within a rapidly urbanizing region. However\, urban parks like this often face pressures such as increasing footfall\, littering\, habitat disturbance\, and loss of native vegetation due to landscaping practices. Encouraging nature-friendly management\, maintaining tree diversity\, and promoting awareness among visitors are key to protecting the park’s biodiversity. With mindful conservation and community engagement\, Love Kush Vatika has the potential to remain not only a peaceful recreational space but also a valuable urban refuge for birds and other wildlife.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Divya VaswaniShe is an avid birdwatcher with over three years of active field experience\, regularly leading birding excursions and contributing to bird surveys for forest departments. Closely associated with the Rajasthan Forest Department\, she has worked extensively in the Chambal–Dholpur region\, monitoring avifauna across riverine\, ravine and forest habitats\, and is passionate about conservation\, ethical birding and sharing ecological knowledge with visitors. 				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Bird walk Location				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Common birds of Love Kush Vatika				\n				\n				\n				\n									The green spaces and scattered water bodies around Love Kush Vatika create a lively habitat where a variety of birds can be seen throughout the day. In open areas\, Green Bee-eaters often perch gracefully on wires and branches\, making swift aerial sallies to catch insects\, while flocks of Indian Silverbills\, Scaly-breasted Munias\, and familiar House Sparrows forage quietly among grasses and shrubs. Urban companions like House Crows\, Common Mynas\, and the sociable Bank Mynas add constant chatter to the landscape\, while the striking Pied Myna stands out with its bold black-and-white plumage. Around trees and flowering plants\, the cheerful calls of Brown-headed Barbets and the rhythmic tapping of the Coppersmith Barbet can often be heard\, accompanied by the shimmering presence of the Purple Sunbird moving swiftly between blossoms.\nCloser to water and moist patches\, elegant Indian Pond Herons\, Cattle Egrets\, and Medium Egrets patiently stalk small prey\, while Indian Cormorants may be spotted drying their wings after a dive. The surrounding trees and rocky edges host characterful species such as the Brown Rock Chat\, Indian Robin\, and the melodious Oriental Magpie Robin\, each adding their own personality to the habitat. Overhead\, the sharp-eyed Shikra may occasionally glide through the sky in search of prey\, reminding birders of the intricate balance of this ecosystem. Together\, these species create a vibrant tapestry of urban and semi-natural birdlife\, offering visitors a rewarding glimpse into the biodiversity thriving within and around Love Kush Vatika.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Silverbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Sparrow				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Crow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Cattle Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rock Pigeon				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Magpie Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown-headed Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Bank Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown Rock Chat				\n				\n				\n				\n					Scaly-breasted Munia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Pied Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					Summary of Walk				\n				\n				\n				\n									The bird walk at Love Kush Vatika\, led by Divya Vaswani\, brought together 4 participants for a surprisingly rich birding experience despite the warm weather. Over the course of two hours\, the group recorded an impressive 41 bird species\, exploring a mix of grasslands\, tree cover\, and wetland patches within the park.

Flowering shrubs\, shade trees\, and small water features attract insects\, butterflies\, and a variety of birds\, making the park a lively ecosystem throughout the year. For birdwatchers\, Love Kush Vatika presents a delightful mix of species—from sunbirds and bulbuls flitting through flowering plants to doves\, drongos\, and barbets calling from the canopy. Early mornings here are especially rewarding\, when the park comes alive with birdsong and movement among the greenery.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Beyond its aesthetic charm\, Love Kush Vatika plays an important ecological role by providing green cover and habitat within a rapidly urbanizing region. However\, urban parks like this often face pressures such as increasing footfall\, littering\, habitat disturbance\, and loss of native vegetation due to landscaping practices. Encouraging nature-friendly management\, maintaining tree diversity\, and promoting awareness among visitors are key to protecting the park’s biodiversity. With mindful conservation and community engagement\, Love Kush Vatika has the potential to remain not only a peaceful recreational space but also a valuable urban refuge for birds and other wildlife.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Divya VaswaniShe is an avid birdwatcher with over three years of active field experience\, regularly leading birding excursions and contributing to bird surveys for forest departments. Closely associated with the Rajasthan Forest Department\, she has worked extensively in the Chambal–Dholpur region\, monitoring avifauna across riverine\, ravine and forest habitats\, and is passionate about conservation\, ethical birding and sharing ecological knowledge with visitors. 				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Bird walk Location				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Common birds of Love Kush Vatika				\n				\n				\n				\n									The green spaces and scattered water bodies around Love Kush Vatika create a lively habitat where a variety of birds can be seen throughout the day. In open areas\, Green Bee-eaters often perch gracefully on wires and branches\, making swift aerial sallies to catch insects\, while flocks of Indian Silverbills\, Scaly-breasted Munias\, and familiar House Sparrows forage quietly among grasses and shrubs. Urban companions like House Crows\, Common Mynas\, and the sociable Bank Mynas add constant chatter to the landscape\, while the striking Pied Myna stands out with its bold black-and-white plumage. Around trees and flowering plants\, the cheerful calls of Brown-headed Barbets and the rhythmic tapping of the Coppersmith Barbet can often be heard\, accompanied by the shimmering presence of the Purple Sunbird moving swiftly between blossoms.\nCloser to water and moist patches\, elegant Indian Pond Herons\, Cattle Egrets\, and Medium Egrets patiently stalk small prey\, while Indian Cormorants may be spotted drying their wings after a dive. The surrounding trees and rocky edges host characterful species such as the Brown Rock Chat\, Indian Robin\, and the melodious Oriental Magpie Robin\, each adding their own personality to the habitat. Overhead\, the sharp-eyed Shikra may occasionally glide through the sky in search of prey\, reminding birders of the intricate balance of this ecosystem. Together\, these species create a vibrant tapestry of urban and semi-natural birdlife\, offering visitors a rewarding glimpse into the biodiversity thriving within and around Love Kush Vatika.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Silverbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Sparrow				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Crow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Cattle Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rock Pigeon				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Magpie Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown-headed Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Bank Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown Rock Chat				\n				\n				\n				\n					Scaly-breasted Munia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Pied Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					Summary of Walk				\n				\n				\n				\n									The bird walk at Love Kush Vatika\, led by Divya Vaswani\, brought together 4 participants for a surprisingly rich birding experience despite the warm weather.

Spread across landscaped gardens\, open lawns\, and patches of native and ornamental trees\, the area provides a diverse urban habitat where flora and fauna can thrive. Flowering shrubs\, shade trees\, and small water features attract insects\, butterflies\, and a variety of birds\, making the park a lively ecosystem throughout the year. For birdwatchers\, Love Kush Vatika presents a delightful mix of species—from sunbirds and bulbuls flitting through flowering plants to doves\, drongos\, and barbets calling from the canopy. Early mornings here are especially rewarding\, when the park comes alive with birdsong and movement among the greenery.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Beyond its aesthetic charm\, Love Kush Vatika plays an important ecological role by providing green cover and habitat within a rapidly urbanizing region. However\, urban parks like this often face pressures such as increasing footfall\, littering\, habitat disturbance\, and loss of native vegetation due to landscaping practices.

Spread across landscaped gardens\, open lawns\, and patches of native and ornamental trees\, the area provides a diverse urban habitat where flora and fauna can thrive. Flowering shrubs\, shade trees\, and small water features attract insects\, butterflies\, and a variety of birds\, making the park a lively ecosystem throughout the year. For birdwatchers\, Love Kush Vatika presents a delightful mix of species—from sunbirds and bulbuls flitting through flowering plants to doves\, drongos\, and barbets calling from the canopy. Early mornings here are especially rewarding\, when the park comes alive with birdsong and movement among the greenery.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Beyond its aesthetic charm\, Love Kush Vatika plays an important ecological role by providing green cover and habitat within a rapidly urbanizing region. However\, urban parks like this often face pressures such as increasing footfall\, littering\, habitat disturbance\, and loss of native vegetation due to landscaping practices. Encouraging nature-friendly management\, maintaining tree diversity\, and promoting awareness among visitors are key to protecting the park’s biodiversity. With mindful conservation and community engagement\, Love Kush Vatika has the potential to remain not only a peaceful recreational space but also a valuable urban refuge for birds and other wildlife.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Divya VaswaniShe is an avid birdwatcher with over three years of active field experience\, regularly leading birding excursions and contributing to bird surveys for forest departments.

In open areas\, Green Bee-eaters often perch gracefully on wires and branches\, making swift aerial sallies to catch insects\, while flocks of Indian Silverbills\, Scaly-breasted Munias\, and familiar House Sparrows forage quietly among grasses and shrubs. Urban companions like House Crows\, Common Mynas\, and the sociable Bank Mynas add constant chatter to the landscape\, while the striking Pied Myna stands out with its bold black-and-white plumage. Around trees and flowering plants\, the cheerful calls of Brown-headed Barbets and the rhythmic tapping of the Coppersmith Barbet can often be heard\, accompanied by the shimmering presence of the Purple Sunbird moving swiftly between blossoms.\nCloser to water and moist patches\, elegant Indian Pond Herons\, Cattle Egrets\, and Medium Egrets patiently stalk small prey\, while Indian Cormorants may be spotted drying their wings after a dive.

SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Kavesar Lake\, Thane\, Maharashtra
DESCRIPTION:Bird Walk at Love Kush Vatika\, Dholpur\, Rajasthan				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n							\n							\n											\n													\n										Rajasthan\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										14 March\, 2026\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										Divya\n									\n						\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					About Love Kush Vatika				\n				\n				\n				\n									Located in the historic city of Dholpur\, Love Kush Vatika is a beautifully developed green space that offers a refreshing pocket of nature in the semi-arid landscape of eastern Rajasthan. Spread across landscaped gardens\, open lawns\, and patches of native and ornamental trees\, the area provides a diverse urban habitat where flora and fauna can thrive. Flowering shrubs\, shade trees\, and small water features attract insects\, butterflies\, and a variety of birds\, making the park a lively ecosystem throughout the year. For birdwatchers\, Love Kush Vatika presents a delightful mix of species—from sunbirds and bulbuls flitting through flowering plants to doves\, drongos\, and barbets calling from the canopy. Early mornings here are especially rewarding\, when the park comes alive with birdsong and movement among the greenery.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Beyond its aesthetic charm\, Love Kush Vatika plays an important ecological role by providing green cover and habitat within a rapidly urbanizing region. However\, urban parks like this often face pressures such as increasing footfall\, littering\, habitat disturbance\, and loss of native vegetation due to landscaping practices. Encouraging nature-friendly management\, maintaining tree diversity\, and promoting awareness among visitors are key to protecting the park’s biodiversity. With mindful conservation and community engagement\, Love Kush Vatika has the potential to remain not only a peaceful recreational space but also a valuable urban refuge for birds and other wildlife.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Divya VaswaniShe is an avid birdwatcher with over three years of active field experience\, regularly leading birding excursions and contributing to bird surveys for forest departments. Closely associated with the Rajasthan Forest Department\, she has worked extensively in the Chambal–Dholpur region\, monitoring avifauna across riverine\, ravine and forest habitats\, and is passionate about conservation\, ethical birding and sharing ecological knowledge with visitors. 				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Bird walk Location				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Common birds of Love Kush Vatika				\n				\n				\n				\n									The green spaces and scattered water bodies around Love Kush Vatika create a lively habitat where a variety of birds can be seen throughout the day. In open areas\, Green Bee-eaters often perch gracefully on wires and branches\, making swift aerial sallies to catch insects\, while flocks of Indian Silverbills\, Scaly-breasted Munias\, and familiar House Sparrows forage quietly among grasses and shrubs. Urban companions like House Crows\, Common Mynas\, and the sociable Bank Mynas add constant chatter to the landscape\, while the striking Pied Myna stands out with its bold black-and-white plumage. Around trees and flowering plants\, the cheerful calls of Brown-headed Barbets and the rhythmic tapping of the Coppersmith Barbet can often be heard\, accompanied by the shimmering presence of the Purple Sunbird moving swiftly between blossoms.\nCloser to water and moist patches\, elegant Indian Pond Herons\, Cattle Egrets\, and Medium Egrets patiently stalk small prey\, while Indian Cormorants may be spotted drying their wings after a dive. The surrounding trees and rocky edges host characterful species such as the Brown Rock Chat\, Indian Robin\, and the melodious Oriental Magpie Robin\, each adding their own personality to the habitat. Overhead\, the sharp-eyed Shikra may occasionally glide through the sky in search of prey\, reminding birders of the intricate balance of this ecosystem.

Spread across landscaped gardens\, open lawns\, and patches of native and ornamental trees\, the area provides a diverse urban habitat where flora and fauna can thrive. Flowering shrubs\, shade trees\, and small water features attract insects\, butterflies\, and a variety of birds\, making the park a lively ecosystem throughout the year. For birdwatchers\, Love Kush Vatika presents a delightful mix of species—from sunbirds and bulbuls flitting through flowering plants to doves\, drongos\, and barbets calling from the canopy. Early mornings here are especially rewarding\, when the park comes alive with birdsong and movement among the greenery.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Beyond its aesthetic charm\, Love Kush Vatika plays an important ecological role by providing green cover and habitat within a rapidly urbanizing region. However\, urban parks like this often face pressures such as increasing footfall\, littering\, habitat disturbance\, and loss of native vegetation due to landscaping practices. Encouraging nature-friendly management\, maintaining tree diversity\, and promoting awareness among visitors are key to protecting the park’s biodiversity. With mindful conservation and community engagement\, Love Kush Vatika has the potential to remain not only a peaceful recreational space but also a valuable urban refuge for birds and other wildlife.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Divya VaswaniShe is an avid birdwatcher with over three years of active field experience\, regularly leading birding excursions and contributing to bird surveys for forest departments. Closely associated with the Rajasthan Forest Department\, she has worked extensively in the Chambal–Dholpur region\, monitoring avifauna across riverine\, ravine and forest habitats\, and is passionate about conservation\, ethical birding and sharing ecological knowledge with visitors. 				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Bird walk Location				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Common birds of Love Kush Vatika				\n				\n				\n				\n									The green spaces and scattered water bodies around Love Kush Vatika create a lively habitat where a variety of birds can be seen throughout the day. In open areas\, Green Bee-eaters often perch gracefully on wires and branches\, making swift aerial sallies to catch insects\, while flocks of Indian Silverbills\, Scaly-breasted Munias\, and familiar House Sparrows forage quietly among grasses and shrubs. Urban companions like House Crows\, Common Mynas\, and the sociable Bank Mynas add constant chatter to the landscape\, while the striking Pied Myna stands out with its bold black-and-white plumage. Around trees and flowering plants\, the cheerful calls of Brown-headed Barbets and the rhythmic tapping of the Coppersmith Barbet can often be heard\, accompanied by the shimmering presence of the Purple Sunbird moving swiftly between blossoms.\nCloser to water and moist patches\, elegant Indian Pond Herons\, Cattle Egrets\, and Medium Egrets patiently stalk small prey\, while Indian Cormorants may be spotted drying their wings after a dive. The surrounding trees and rocky edges host characterful species such as the Brown Rock Chat\, Indian Robin\, and the melodious Oriental Magpie Robin\, each adding their own personality to the habitat. Overhead\, the sharp-eyed Shikra may occasionally glide through the sky in search of prey\, reminding birders of the intricate balance of this ecosystem. Together\, these species create a vibrant tapestry of urban and semi-natural birdlife\, offering visitors a rewarding glimpse into the biodiversity thriving within and around Love Kush Vatika.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Silverbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Sparrow				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Crow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Cattle Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rock Pigeon				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Magpie Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown-headed Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Bank Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown Rock Chat				\n				\n				\n				\n					Scaly-breasted Munia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Pied Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					Summary of Walk				\n				\n				\n				\n									The bird walk at Love Kush Vatika\, led by Divya Vaswani\, brought together 4 participants for a surprisingly rich birding experience despite the warm weather.

Spread across landscaped gardens\, open lawns\, and patches of native and ornamental trees\, the area provides a diverse urban habitat where flora and fauna can thrive. Flowering shrubs\, shade trees\, and small water features attract insects\, butterflies\, and a variety of birds\, making the park a lively ecosystem throughout the year. For birdwatchers\, Love Kush Vatika presents a delightful mix of species—from sunbirds and bulbuls flitting through flowering plants to doves\, drongos\, and barbets calling from the canopy. Early mornings here are especially rewarding\, when the park comes alive with birdsong and movement among the greenery.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Beyond its aesthetic charm\, Love Kush Vatika plays an important ecological role by providing green cover and habitat within a rapidly urbanizing region. However\, urban parks like this often face pressures such as increasing footfall\, littering\, habitat disturbance\, and loss of native vegetation due to landscaping practices. Encouraging nature-friendly management\, maintaining tree diversity\, and promoting awareness among visitors are key to protecting the park’s biodiversity. With mindful conservation and community engagement\, Love Kush Vatika has the potential to remain not only a peaceful recreational space but also a valuable urban refuge for birds and other wildlife.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Divya VaswaniShe is an avid birdwatcher with over three years of active field experience\, regularly leading birding excursions and contributing to bird surveys for forest departments. Closely associated with the Rajasthan Forest Department\, she has worked extensively in the Chambal–Dholpur region\, monitoring avifauna across riverine\, ravine and forest habitats\, and is passionate about conservation\, ethical birding and sharing ecological knowledge with visitors. 				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Bird walk Location				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Common birds of Love Kush Vatika				\n				\n				\n				\n									The green spaces and scattered water bodies around Love Kush Vatika create a lively habitat where a variety of birds can be seen throughout the day. In open areas\, Green Bee-eaters often perch gracefully on wires and branches\, making swift aerial sallies to catch insects\, while flocks of Indian Silverbills\, Scaly-breasted Munias\, and familiar House Sparrows forage quietly among grasses and shrubs. Urban companions like House Crows\, Common Mynas\, and the sociable Bank Mynas add constant chatter to the landscape\, while the striking Pied Myna stands out with its bold black-and-white plumage. Around trees and flowering plants\, the cheerful calls of Brown-headed Barbets and the rhythmic tapping of the Coppersmith Barbet can often be heard\, accompanied by the shimmering presence of the Purple Sunbird moving swiftly between blossoms.\nCloser to water and moist patches\, elegant Indian Pond Herons\, Cattle Egrets\, and Medium Egrets patiently stalk small prey\, while Indian Cormorants may be spotted drying their wings after a dive. The surrounding trees and rocky edges host characterful species such as the Brown Rock Chat\, Indian Robin\, and the melodious Oriental Magpie Robin\, each adding their own personality to the habitat. Overhead\, the sharp-eyed Shikra may occasionally glide through the sky in search of prey\, reminding birders of the intricate balance of this ecosystem. Together\, these species create a vibrant tapestry of urban and semi-natural birdlife\, offering visitors a rewarding glimpse into the biodiversity thriving within and around Love Kush Vatika.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Silverbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Sparrow				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Crow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Cattle Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rock Pigeon				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Magpie Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown-headed Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Bank Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown Rock Chat				\n				\n				\n				\n					Scaly-breasted Munia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Pied Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					Summary of Walk				\n				\n				\n				\n									The bird walk at Love Kush Vatika\, led by Divya Vaswani\, brought together 4 participants for a surprisingly rich birding experience despite the warm weather.

In open areas\, Green Bee-eaters often perch gracefully on wires and branches\, making swift aerial sallies to catch insects\, while flocks of Indian Silverbills\, Scaly-breasted Munias\, and familiar House Sparrows forage quietly among grasses and shrubs. Urban companions like House Crows\, Common Mynas\, and the sociable Bank Mynas add constant chatter to the landscape\, while the striking Pied Myna stands out with its bold black-and-white plumage. Around trees and flowering plants\, the cheerful calls of Brown-headed Barbets and the rhythmic tapping of the Coppersmith Barbet can often be heard\, accompanied by the shimmering presence of the Purple Sunbird moving swiftly between blossoms.\nCloser to water and moist patches\, elegant Indian Pond Herons\, Cattle Egrets\, and Medium Egrets patiently stalk small prey\, while Indian Cormorants may be spotted drying their wings after a dive. The surrounding trees and rocky edges host characterful species such as the Brown Rock Chat\, Indian Robin\, and the melodious Oriental Magpie Robin\, each adding their own personality to the habitat. Overhead\, the sharp-eyed Shikra may occasionally glide through the sky in search of prey\, reminding birders of the intricate balance of this ecosystem. Together\, these species create a vibrant tapestry of urban and semi-natural birdlife\, offering visitors a rewarding glimpse into the biodiversity thriving within and around Love Kush Vatika.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Silverbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Sparrow				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Crow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Cattle Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rock Pigeon				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Magpie Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown-headed Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Bank Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown Rock Chat				\n				\n				\n				\n					Scaly-breasted Munia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Pied Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					Summary of Walk				\n				\n				\n				\n									The bird walk at Love Kush Vatika\, led by Divya Vaswani\, brought together 4 participants for a surprisingly rich birding experience despite the warm weather. Over the course of two hours\, the group recorded an impressive 41 bird species\, exploring a mix of grasslands\, tree cover\, and wetland patches within the park. Many participants initially believed the area hosted only common birds\, making the discoveries even more exciting.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Through guided observation\, participants learned about habitat use and bird behaviour\, spotting species like Hoopoe foraging on the ground\, Prinias perched on shrubs\, and Purple Sunbirds feeding on nectar. The walk also highlighted behavioural interactions\, such as birds sharing space with raptors. By the end\, participants gained a new appreciation for urban biodiversity and the importance of mindful observation.\n								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0
