SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Doddaballapura - Nagara Lake\, Bangalore
DESCRIPTION:Bird Walk at Sirpur lake\, Indore\, MP				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n							\n							\n											\n													\n										Indore\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										25 April\, 2026\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										Prajwal Jaiswal\n									\n						\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					About Sirpur Lake				\n				\n				\n				\n									Sirpur Lake\, located on the outskirts of Indore in Madhya Pradesh\, is a significant wetland ecosystem recognized as a Ramsar Site for its ecological and conservation importance. Spread over approximately 800 acres\, the lake provides a thriving habitat for a wide variety of resident and migratory bird species\, including several globally threatened ones. It plays a vital role in maintaining the local hydrological balance\, recharging groundwater\, and supporting aquatic biodiversity. The surrounding vegetation and marshy areas make it an ideal stopover site for migratory birds traveling along the Central Asian Flyway\, making it a popular destination for birdwatchers and researchers alike.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Beyond its ecological significance\, Sirpur Lake serves as a living example of successful community-driven conservation. Once degraded due to encroachment and pollution\, the lake was revived through concerted efforts by local authorities\, environmental organizations\, and citizen groups. Today\, it stands as a model for wetland restoration and sustainable management in urban areas. The lake also contributes to environmental education and awareness\, hosting regular nature walks\, bird festivals\, and outreach programs that engage the public in conservation efforts. Its designation as a Ramsar Site underscores its global value and the need for continued protection to ensure the long-term survival of its diverse flora and fauna.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Prajwal JaiswalWith 3 years of birding experience\, I am actively involved in wildlife conservation\, protection\, and local rescue efforts as a lead with ARPF. I regularly use tools like Merlin and eBird to document observations and contribute to citizen science. Passionate about birds and nature\, I enjoy learning in the field and supporting conservation through both action and awareness.\n\n 				\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 Sirpur Lake				\n				\n				\n				\n									Sirpur Lake in Indore hosts an impressive diversity of birdlife\, with around 237 species recorded so far\, making it one of the most vibrant urban wetlands in Madhya Pradesh. Some of the commonly seen birds around the lake include the Indian Silverbill\, Brambling Starling\, Small Kingfisher\, White-breasted Kingfisher\, and Pied Kingfisher\, which are often spotted perched near the lake’s edge or diving into the water for prey. Raptors such as the Black Kite can be seen soaring overhead\, while smaller passerines like the Ashy Prinia\, Sparrow Lark\, and Indian Robin flit actively among the reeds and grasslands.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The surrounding scrub and open areas are frequented by Laughing Doves\, House Sparrows\, Crested Buntings\, and Red-vented Bulbuls\, while the Black Drongo and Long-tailed Shrike are common sight along the fences and perches. The Rose-ringed Parakeet adds a splash of color and constant chatter to the landscape\, and Wood Sandpipers are often observed along the shallow waters during the migratory season. The Indian Peafowl\, with its striking plumage\, is one of the most iconic residents of the area. Together\, these species reflect the ecological richness of Sirpur Lake and highlight its importance as a sanctuary for both local and migratory birds.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bronze-winged Jacana				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-winged Stilt				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey-headed Swamphen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Grey Hornbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Tailorbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Coucal				\n				\n				\n				\n					Ashy Prinia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Hawk Cuckoo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Large-billed Crow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Pied Starling				\n				\n				\n				\n					Paddyfield Pipit				\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 Sirpur Talab saw a total of 10 participants\, including 7 registered attendees and a few curious visitors who joined in along the way. Most participants were beginners\, making the walk a highly interactive learning experience focused on introducing common bird species\, basic identification\, and observation techniques. Along with birds\, participants also enjoyed spotting a few butterfly species\, adding to the overall biodiversity experience of the wetland habitat.								\n				\n				\n				\n									A total of 35 bird species were recorded during the walk. The standout highlights included a pair of hornbills\, which became a focal point for storytelling and discussion\, along with sightings of the Eurasian Bittern and Western Marsh Harrier. The combination of engaging discussions\, beginner-friendly learning\, and exciting sightings made the walk both educational and memorable.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

Spread over approximately 800 acres\, the lake provides a thriving habitat for a wide variety of resident and migratory bird species\, including several globally threatened ones. It plays a vital role in maintaining the local hydrological balance\, recharging groundwater\, and supporting aquatic biodiversity. The surrounding vegetation and marshy areas make it an ideal stopover site for migratory birds traveling along the Central Asian Flyway\, making it a popular destination for birdwatchers and researchers alike.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Beyond its ecological significance\, Sirpur Lake serves as a living example of successful community-driven conservation. Once degraded due to encroachment and pollution\, the lake was revived through concerted efforts by local authorities\, environmental organizations\, and citizen groups. Today\, it stands as a model for wetland restoration and sustainable management in urban areas. The lake also contributes to environmental education and awareness\, hosting regular nature walks\, bird festivals\, and outreach programs that engage the public in conservation efforts.

Spread over approximately 800 acres\, the lake provides a thriving habitat for a wide variety of resident and migratory bird species\, including several globally threatened ones. It plays a vital role in maintaining the local hydrological balance\, recharging groundwater\, and supporting aquatic biodiversity. The surrounding vegetation and marshy areas make it an ideal stopover site for migratory birds traveling along the Central Asian Flyway\, making it a popular destination for birdwatchers and researchers alike.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Beyond its ecological significance\, Sirpur Lake serves as a living example of successful community-driven conservation. Once degraded due to encroachment and pollution\, the lake was revived through concerted efforts by local authorities\, environmental organizations\, and citizen groups. Today\, it stands as a model for wetland restoration and sustainable management in urban areas. The lake also contributes to environmental education and awareness\, hosting regular nature walks\, bird festivals\, and outreach programs that engage the public in conservation efforts. Its designation as a Ramsar Site underscores its global value and the need for continued protection to ensure the long-term survival of its diverse flora and fauna.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Prajwal JaiswalWith 3 years of birding experience\, I am actively involved in wildlife conservation\, protection\, and local rescue efforts as a lead with ARPF. I regularly use tools like Merlin and eBird to document observations and contribute to citizen science.

Some of the commonly seen birds around the lake include the Indian Silverbill\, Brambling Starling\, Small Kingfisher\, White-breasted Kingfisher\, and Pied Kingfisher\, which are often spotted perched near the lake’s edge or diving into the water for prey. Raptors such as the Black Kite can be seen soaring overhead\, while smaller passerines like the Ashy Prinia\, Sparrow Lark\, and Indian Robin flit actively among the reeds and grasslands.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The surrounding scrub and open areas are frequented by Laughing Doves\, House Sparrows\, Crested Buntings\, and Red-vented Bulbuls\, while the Black Drongo and Long-tailed Shrike are common sight along the fences and perches. The Rose-ringed Parakeet adds a splash of color and constant chatter to the landscape\, and Wood Sandpipers are often observed along the shallow waters during the migratory season. The Indian Peafowl\, with its striking plumage\, is one of the most iconic residents of the area. Together\, these species reflect the ecological richness of Sirpur Lake and highlight its importance as a sanctuary for both local and migratory birds.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bronze-winged Jacana				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-winged Stilt				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey-headed Swamphen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Grey Hornbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Tailorbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Coucal				\n				\n				\n				\n					Ashy Prinia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Hawk Cuckoo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Large-billed Crow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Pied Starling				\n				\n				\n				\n					Paddyfield Pipit				\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 Sirpur Talab saw a total of 10 participants\, including 7 registered attendees and a few curious visitors who joined in along the way. Most participants were beginners\, making the walk a highly interactive learning experience focused on introducing common bird species\, basic identification\, and observation techniques. Along with birds\, participants also enjoyed spotting a few butterfly species\, adding to the overall biodiversity experience of the wetland habitat.								\n				\n				\n				\n									A total of 35 bird species were recorded during the walk. The standout highlights included a pair of hornbills\, which became a focal point for storytelling and discussion\, along with sightings of the Eurasian Bittern and Western Marsh Harrier.

Spread over approximately 800 acres\, the lake provides a thriving habitat for a wide variety of resident and migratory bird species\, including several globally threatened ones. It plays a vital role in maintaining the local hydrological balance\, recharging groundwater\, and supporting aquatic biodiversity. The surrounding vegetation and marshy areas make it an ideal stopover site for migratory birds traveling along the Central Asian Flyway\, making it a popular destination for birdwatchers and researchers alike.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Beyond its ecological significance\, Sirpur Lake serves as a living example of successful community-driven conservation. Once degraded due to encroachment and pollution\, the lake was revived through concerted efforts by local authorities\, environmental organizations\, and citizen groups. Today\, it stands as a model for wetland restoration and sustainable management in urban areas. The lake also contributes to environmental education and awareness\, hosting regular nature walks\, bird festivals\, and outreach programs that engage the public in conservation efforts.

Spread over approximately 800 acres\, the lake provides a thriving habitat for a wide variety of resident and migratory bird species\, including several globally threatened ones. It plays a vital role in maintaining the local hydrological balance\, recharging groundwater\, and supporting aquatic biodiversity. The surrounding vegetation and marshy areas make it an ideal stopover site for migratory birds traveling along the Central Asian Flyway\, making it a popular destination for birdwatchers and researchers alike.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Beyond its ecological significance\, Sirpur Lake serves as a living example of successful community-driven conservation. Once degraded due to encroachment and pollution\, the lake was revived through concerted efforts by local authorities\, environmental organizations\, and citizen groups. Today\, it stands as a model for wetland restoration and sustainable management in urban areas. The lake also contributes to environmental education and awareness\, hosting regular nature walks\, bird festivals\, and outreach programs that engage the public in conservation efforts. Its designation as a Ramsar Site underscores its global value and the need for continued protection to ensure the long-term survival of its diverse flora and fauna.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Prajwal JaiswalWith 3 years of birding experience\, I am actively involved in wildlife conservation\, protection\, and local rescue efforts as a lead with ARPF.

Some of the commonly seen birds around the lake include the Indian Silverbill\, Brambling Starling\, Small Kingfisher\, White-breasted Kingfisher\, and Pied Kingfisher\, which are often spotted perched near the lake’s edge or diving into the water for prey. Raptors such as the Black Kite can be seen soaring overhead\, while smaller passerines like the Ashy Prinia\, Sparrow Lark\, and Indian Robin flit actively among the reeds and grasslands.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The surrounding scrub and open areas are frequented by Laughing Doves\, House Sparrows\, Crested Buntings\, and Red-vented Bulbuls\, while the Black Drongo and Long-tailed Shrike are common sight along the fences and perches. The Rose-ringed Parakeet adds a splash of color and constant chatter to the landscape\, and Wood Sandpipers are often observed along the shallow waters during the migratory season. The Indian Peafowl\, with its striking plumage\, is one of the most iconic residents of the area. Together\, these species reflect the ecological richness of Sirpur Lake and highlight its importance as a sanctuary for both local and migratory birds.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bronze-winged Jacana				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-winged Stilt				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey-headed Swamphen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Grey Hornbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Tailorbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Coucal				\n				\n				\n				\n					Ashy Prinia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Hawk Cuckoo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Large-billed Crow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Pied Starling				\n				\n				\n				\n					Paddyfield Pipit				\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 Sirpur Talab saw a total of 10 participants\, including 7 registered attendees and a few curious visitors who joined in along the way. Most participants were beginners\, making the walk a highly interactive learning experience focused on introducing common bird species\, basic identification\, and observation techniques. Along with birds\, participants also enjoyed spotting a few butterfly species\, adding to the overall biodiversity experience of the wetland habitat.								\n				\n				\n				\n									A total of 35 bird species were recorded during the walk. The standout highlights included a pair of hornbills\, which became a focal point for storytelling and discussion\, along with sightings of the Eurasian Bittern and Western Marsh Harrier. The combination of engaging discussions\, beginner-friendly learning\, and exciting sightings made the walk both educational and memorable.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0
