While smaller in size compared to large wetlands\, the temple landscape forms an important micro-habitat with mature trees\, riparian vegetation\, and open water patches that support diverse flora and fauna. Native trees\, fruiting species\, and dense canopy cover attract a rich assemblage of birds\, including woodland species\, riverine birds\, and migratory visitors during winter.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The area also supports butterflies\, small mammals\, reptiles\, and aquatic life linked to the river system. Increasing pressure from infrastructure development\, waste disposal\, noise\, and reduced water quality threaten the ecological integrity of this sacred landscape. Conservation efforts here can be strengthened by safeguarding temple groves\, maintaining river health\, regulating human disturbance\, and integrating traditional religious values with biodiversity conservation to protect this culturally and ecologically significant site.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Jalmesh KarapurkarHe is the coordinator of the Goa Bird Atlas initiative and serves as the eBird Reviewer for Goa\, playing a key role in documenting avian biodiversity across the state.

Ground and understorey species such as Indian Peafowl\, Grey Junglefowl\, Asian Emerald Dove\, White-rumped Shama\, babblers\, fulvettas\, and the frequently recorded Indian Scimitar-Babbler indicate healthy forest structure\, while fruiting trees attract Malabar Imperial-Pigeon\, Malabar Grey Hornbill\, barbets\, bulbuls\, and leafbirds. The area also supports an impressive raptor diversity\, including Lesser Adjutant\, Crested Serpent-Eagle\, Changeable Hawk-Eagle\, and Crested Goshawk\, highlighting its ecological importance. Canopy and edge habitats are animated by minivets\, woodshrikes\, flycatcher-shrikes\, drongos\, monarchs\, paradise-flycatchers\, and sunbirds\, with Crimson-backed Sunbird being particularly abundant. The presence of Western Ghats endemics and forest specialists such as Vigors’s Sunbird\, Flame-throated Bulbul\, Nilgiri Flowerpecker\, Malabar Barbet\, and Asian Fairy-bluebird underscores the site’s high conservation value and the role of temple landscapes in safeguarding biodiversity in Goa.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					White-rumped Shama				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Emarald Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Peafowl				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown-cheeked Fulvetta				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Scimitar Babbler				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater-racket tailed Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-hooded Oriole				\n				\n				\n				\n					Lesser Adjutant Stork				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Fairy Bluebird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Vernal hanging-Parrot				\n				\n				\n				\n					Malabar Grey hornbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					Vigor's Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Yellow-browed Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Scarlet Minivet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Nilgiri Flowerpecker				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Spotted Eagle				\n				\n				\n				\n					Flame-throated Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Crimson-backed Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Paradise Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-naped Monarch				\n				\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 forest bird walk at Shree Siddhanath Temple in Borim\, Ponda\, brought together 20 enthusiastic participants under a breezy winter canopy.

Led by Jalmesh Karapurkar\, the walk transformed challenging conditions into a rewarding exploration of forest acoustics and behavior\, leaving participants with a deeper appreciation of woodland ecosystems.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

While smaller in size compared to large wetlands\, the temple landscape forms an important micro-habitat with mature trees\, riparian vegetation\, and open water patches that support diverse flora and fauna.

Increasing pressure from infrastructure development\, waste disposal\, noise\, and reduced water quality threaten the ecological integrity of this sacred landscape.

The area also supports an impressive raptor diversity\, including Lesser Adjutant\, Crested Serpent-Eagle\, Changeable Hawk-Eagle\, and Crested Goshawk\, highlighting its ecological importance. Canopy and edge habitats are animated by minivets\, woodshrikes\, flycatcher-shrikes\, drongos\, monarchs\, paradise-flycatchers\, and sunbirds\, with Crimson-backed Sunbird being particularly abundant.

While smaller in size compared to large wetlands\, the temple landscape forms an important micro-habitat with mature trees\, riparian vegetation\, and open water patches that support diverse flora and fauna. Native trees\, fruiting species\, and dense canopy cover attract a rich assemblage of birds\, including woodland species\, riverine birds\, and migratory visitors during winter.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The area also supports butterflies\, small mammals\, reptiles\, and aquatic life linked to the river system. Increasing pressure from infrastructure development\, waste disposal\, noise\, and reduced water quality threaten the ecological integrity of this sacred landscape.

The area also supports an impressive raptor diversity\, including Lesser Adjutant\, Crested Serpent-Eagle\, Changeable Hawk-Eagle\, and Crested Goshawk\, highlighting its ecological importance. Canopy and edge habitats are animated by minivets\, woodshrikes\, flycatcher-shrikes\, drongos\, monarchs\, paradise-flycatchers\, and sunbirds\, with Crimson-backed Sunbird being particularly abundant. The presence of Western Ghats endemics and forest specialists such as Vigors’s Sunbird\, Flame-throated Bulbul\, Nilgiri Flowerpecker\, Malabar Barbet\, and Asian Fairy-bluebird underscores the site’s high conservation value and the role of temple landscapes in safeguarding biodiversity in Goa.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					White-rumped Shama				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Emarald Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Peafowl				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown-cheeked Fulvetta				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Scimitar Babbler				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater-racket tailed Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-hooded Oriole				\n				\n				\n				\n					Lesser Adjutant Stork				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Fairy Bluebird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Vernal hanging-Parrot				\n				\n				\n				\n					Malabar Grey hornbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					Vigor's Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Yellow-browed Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Scarlet Minivet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Nilgiri Flowerpecker				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Spotted Eagle				\n				\n				\n				\n					Flame-throated Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Crimson-backed Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Paradise Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-naped Monarch				\n				\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 forest bird walk at Shree Siddhanath Temple in Borim\, Ponda\, brought together 20 enthusiastic participants under a breezy winter canopy.
