BIRD
WATCHING
Rajasthan's lakes, ponds, marshlands and grasslands are a
haven for bird lovers. One can find around 550 species of
birds and most of these are residents. The best colony of
birds in the world is Keoladeo National Park situated In
Bharatpur.
It has more than 400 species of birds and more than 130 of
them breed inside the park. Being a unique bird place, the
UNESCO has recognised it as a world heritage site. It is truly
a paradise of feathered life which provides unlimited
opportunities to bird watchers. Various other lakes and ponds
spread over the state offer the enthusiast an opportunity to
watch the activities of the birds.
The major wetlands other than Bharatpur are Kukas, Kalah,
Bund, Buchora Chandii, Chhaparwara and Ramgarh in Jaipur,
Siliserh Jaisamand and Mansarover in Alwar, Ana Sagar and
Fatehsagar in Ajmer, Jaisamand, Pichhola and Badi Ka Talab in
Udaipur, Balsamand and Sardar Samand in Jodhpur, Bassi Dam in
Chittaurgarh and Meja Dam in Bhilwara.
The best season for bird watching starts with the onset of
winter when marshlands and lakes are inhabited by migratory
birds as well as resident birds. In salt- water lakes,
flamingos are also found, like in Pachpadra near Barmer and
Sambhar near Jaipur. Bird watching g is a hobby which has
minimum requirements. All you need is a binocular and a
experienced wildlife guide.
