SUMMARY:Bird walk at Atali Forest\, Ambivli\, Kalyan

Originally created as a reservoir\, the lake today often transforms into expansive grass-covered plains during dry periods\, supporting a rich diversity of flora such as native grasses\, scattered acacia\, and hardy shrubs. These habitats provide refuge to a variety of insects\, reptiles\, and small mammals\, creating a thriving food web that sustains an impressive range of birdlife. The open skies\, undisturbed stretches\, and subtle shifts between wet and dry conditions make Hessarghatta a fascinating landscape for nature lovers.								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birders\, Hessarghatta is a renowned hotspot\, especially for grassland and raptor species that are becoming increasingly rare elsewhere. From larks and pipits camouflaged in the grass to majestic eagles and harriers gliding overhead\, every visit offers something new. Seasonal water patches attract waders and waterbirds\, while the surrounding scrub hosts a mix of resident and migratory species. However\, this fragile ecosystem faces growing threats from urban expansion\, habitat degradation\, off-road activities\, and waste dumping. Conserving Hessarghatta is crucial—not just for its birds\, but as one of the last remaining grassland ecosystems near the city\, offering a vital space for biodiversity and a peaceful escape into nature.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Abhay Vijay Shankar Passionate bird enthusiast with 2 years of experience in Bengaluru and nearby districts\, skilled in field observation and dedicated to sharing knowledge and creating meaningful nature experiences.\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		\n				\n				\n					Common birds of Hessarghata Lake				\n				\n				\n				\n									At Hessarghatta Lake near Bangalore\, birdlife unfolds like a vibrant tapestry across water\, grassland\, and open skies. The lake attracts a rich congregation of waterbirds—Indian Spot-billed Ducks drifting calmly\, Little Grebes diving beneath the surface\, and elegant waders like Black-winged Stilts and Wood Sandpipers foraging along the edges. Larger\, more striking species such as Black-headed Ibis\, Glossy Ibis\, and Purple Herons add drama to the wetlands\, while River Terns glide gracefully above the water. As dusk approaches\, the quiet emergence of Black-crowned Night Herons and the steady presence of cormorants and darters create a dynamic rhythm that reflects the lake’s ecological richness.\n\nBeyond the water\, the surrounding grasslands and scrub burst with activity. Raptors like Shikra and Brahminy Kite patrol the skies\, while birds such as Greater Coucal\, Eurasian Hoopoe\, and Black-rumped Flameback bring character to the landscape. The air is often alive with the calls of drongos\, bulbuls\, and sunbirds\, while parakeets flash green across the horizon. Ground-dwellers like Paddyfield Pipit and Red Avadavat add subtle beauty to the grasslands\, making every step an opportunity for discovery. Together\, these species create a lively and ever-changing birding experience\, showcasing Hessarghatta as a true haven for both casual observers and passionate birders.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Darter				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Great Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Grebe				\n				\n				\n				\n					River Tern				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-winged Stilt				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Glossy Ibis				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-headed Ibis				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-crowned Night Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Great Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Moorhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Coot				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Peafowl				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Dove				\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.

These habitats provide refuge to a variety of insects\, reptiles\, and small mammals\, creating a thriving food web that sustains an impressive range of birdlife. The open skies\, undisturbed stretches\, and subtle shifts between wet and dry conditions make Hessarghatta a fascinating landscape for nature lovers.								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birders\, Hessarghatta is a renowned hotspot\, especially for grassland and raptor species that are becoming increasingly rare elsewhere. From larks and pipits camouflaged in the grass to majestic eagles and harriers gliding overhead\, every visit offers something new.
