SUMMARY:Introduction to Birdwatching Workshop ‘Launch Event’
DESCRIPTION:Bird Walk at Sanjay Van\, New Delhi				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n							\n											\n													\n										New Delhi\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										10 May\, 2026\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										Rs 300/- per head\n									\n						\n						\n				\n				\n				\n							\n							\n										Fee collected goes entirely to the bird guide. Ataavi does not retain or profit from this amount.\n									\n						\n						\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					About Sanjay Van				\n				\n				\n				\n									Sanjay Van is one of New Delhi’s largest and most important urban forests\, spread over about 780 hectares along the southern edge of the city near the Aravalli ridge. The landscape is dominated by dry deciduous and thorn scrub forest\, interspersed with rocky outcrops\, seasonal streams\, grasslands\, and small wetlands that fill during the monsoon. Native flora such as dhok\, babool\, neem\, peepal\, banyan\, and ber coexist with plantations and regenerating scrub\, creating a complex mosaic of habitats. This diversity supports a wide range of fauna\, including mammals like nilgai\, golden jackal\, Indian hare\, and mongoose\, along with reptiles\, butterflies\, and other invertebrates. Sanjay Van is also a celebrated birding hotspot\, recording well over 200 bird species\, with resident woodland birds\, winter migrants\, and passage migrants making it a year-round destination for nature enthusiasts and photographers.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Despite its ecological value\, Sanjay Van faces significant conservation challenges typical of urban forests. Pressures from encroachment\, unregulated construction\, invasive plant species\, waste dumping\, feral dogs\, and heavy human footfall threaten habitat quality and wildlife movement. Fragmentation of forest patches and disturbance near nesting and foraging areas can impact sensitive species\, while groundwater depletion affects seasonal wetlands. Conservation efforts focus on protecting native vegetation\, controlling invasive species\, restoring water bodies\, and promoting responsible public use through awareness and community involvement. Safeguarding Sanjay Van is critical not only for its biodiversity\, but also for its role as a green lung that moderates climate\, supports groundwater recharge\, and offers Delhi residents a rare connection to natural wilderness within the city.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Anjali BhardwajA passionate birder and researcher\, I am currently a PhD scholar in biogeography at Jamia Millia Islamia with 3.5 years of experience studying urban birdlife in Delhi.\nMy work focuses on bird occupancy\, vocalisations\, and their relationship with tree species\,combining field birding with research to offer deeper\, more insightful birding experiences. 				\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		\n				\n				\n					Common birds of Sanjay Van				\n				\n				\n				\n									Sanjay Van is a vibrant birding refuge in the heart of New Delhi\, with 224 bird species recorded\, and even a short walk can reveal an impressive mix of woodland\, grassland\, and wetland birds. Seasonal waterbodies attract Indian Spot-billed Duck\, Eurasian Moorhen\, Eurasian Coot\, and elegant Black-winged Stilts\, while open areas and forest edges are watched over by the hovering Black-winged Kite. The trees and scrub resonate with familiar calls of Indian Peafowl\, Rose-ringed and Alexandrine Parakeets\, along with Rock Pigeon\, Eurasian Collared-Dove\, and Laughing Dove. The undergrowth comes alive with small insectivores such as the Common Tailorbird\, Yellow-bellied Prinia\, and winter visitors like the Taiga Flycatcher\, while the social chatter of Jungle Babblers\, Common Mynas\, and House Crows fills the forest air. Adding melody and colour are birds like the Oriental Magpie-Robin\, Red-whiskered Bulbul\, and Red-vented Bulbul\, making Sanjay Van a rewarding destination for both casual visitors and dedicated birdwatchers alike.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Peafowl				\n				\n				\n				\n					Laughing Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Coot				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-winged Stilt				\n				\n				\n				\n					Alexandrine Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian-collared Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Jungle Babbler				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Francolin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eastern Cattle Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rufous Treepie				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Honey Buzzard				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey-breasted Prinia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Ashy Prinia				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n							\n							\n										Fee collected goes entirely to the bird guide.
