SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Chandlai Lake\, Jaipur\, RJ
DESCRIPTION:Bird Walk at Pumping Station – Yashwant Sagar\, Indore\, MP				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n							\n							\n											\n													\n										Indore\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										11 January\, 2026\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										Yogendra Kumar Mimrot\n									\n						\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					About Pumping Station - Yashwant Sagar				\n				\n				\n				\n									The Pumping Station at Yashwant Sagar near Indore is nestled along the shores of one of central India’s most cherished wetlands — a sprawling freshwater reservoir built on the Gambhir River in the 1930s that now covers over 800 ha and serves as a lifeline for water supply\, irrigation and fishing in the region. Designated a Ramsar site and Important Bird Area (IBA)\, Yashwant Sagar’s mosaic of open water\, shallow backwaters and reed-lined edges creates a rich habitat for aquatic plants\, lotus beds and emergent vegetation that support an astonishing array of wildlife. Visitors to the pumping station area often find themselves surrounded by the rhythmic calls of waterbirds and raptors\, with the shimmering reservoir waters reflecting waders\, herons\, egrets and the elegant silhouettes of Sarus Cranes — central India’s iconic and vulnerable crane species. During winter and migration seasons\, this habitat becomes even more vibrant as waterfowl and migratory shorebirds find refuge in its shallow pools and islands created by receding water.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The birdlife spectacle here draws local birders and nature lovers\, yet Yashwant Sagar’s ecological value is increasingly under strain. Despite its international recognition\, agricultural expansion\, pesticide runoff\, unregulated fishing and disturbances from boating and shoreline encroachments are altering habitat quality\, contributing to declines in key species like the Sarus Crane and raising concerns among conservationists about long-term health and biodiversity. Efforts to balance sustainable use with protection — including clearer wetland demarcation\, community awareness and stronger habitat regulations — are essential to ensure that this beautiful wetland continues to thrive as a haven for birds and a natural jewel on the outskirts of Indore. 								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Yogendra kumar mimrot Basically I am a snake researcher from indore \, currently pursuing bsc and during my studies I have been studying birds as many of them feed on snakes and other macrofauna. 				\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 Pumping Station - Yashwant Sagar				\n				\n				\n				\n									The Pumping Station area at Yashwant Sagar\, Indore offers a rich and rewarding snapshot of the wetland’s birdlife\, with common species providing constant activity across land and water. Around the open grounds and scrub\, Rock Pigeons\, Laughing Doves\, House Sparrows\, Indian Silverbills\, Scaly-breasted and Red Munias\, Bush Larks and Sparrow Larks forage in flocks\, while Ashy Prinias\, Indian Robins\, Indian Chats and Canary-headed Flycatchers animate the bushes with movement and song. The skies and wires are often claimed by Wire-tailed Swallows\, Green Bee-eaters\, Long-tailed Shrikes and Pied Starlings\, adding flashes of colour and drama. Along the water’s edge and shallow pools\, Spot-billed Ducks\, Pond Herons\, Great\, Intermediate and Little Egrets\, Oriental Darters\, Indian Cormorants and White-breasted Waterhens are regular sights\, joined by elegant White-winged Stilts\, Red-wattled Lapwings\, River Terns and seasonal visitors like Ruff and Common Snipe. This everyday abundance forms the backbone of Yashwant Sagar’s impressive bird diversity — part of a remarkable checklist of over 216 bird species that makes the pumping station a favourite stop for birders exploring this celebrated wetland.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Laughing Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Long-tailed Shrike				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Sparrow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Great Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Darter				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					White - breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					River Tern				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Hawk Cuckoo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Snipe				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Wire-tailed Swallow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Pied Starling				\n				\n				\n				\n					Ruff				\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									A bird walk at the Pumping Station\, Yashwant Sagar was organized in collaboration with MP Tourism and led by Yogendra Kumar Mimrot\, with five participants joining the enriching nature experience. The walk proved to be highly rewarding\, with the group recording more than 50 bird species across the wetland and surrounding habitats. Notable sightings included Grey-headed Flycatcher\, Asian Tit\, Tawny Lark\, Indian Sarus\, and the majestic Greater Spotted Eagle\, along with several other resident and visiting birds that highlighted the ecological richness of the area. Participants remained engaged throughout the walk\, gaining insights into bird identification\, behavior\, and habitat use\, and expressed satisfaction with both the diversity of species observed and the overall learning experience\, making the walk a memorable and successful outing.\n								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

Designated a Ramsar site and Important Bird Area (IBA)\, Yashwant Sagar’s mosaic of open water\, shallow backwaters and reed-lined edges creates a rich habitat for aquatic plants\, lotus beds and emergent vegetation that support an astonishing array of wildlife. Visitors to the pumping station area often find themselves surrounded by the rhythmic calls of waterbirds and raptors\, with the shimmering reservoir waters reflecting waders\, herons\, egrets and the elegant silhouettes of Sarus Cranes — central India’s iconic and vulnerable crane species. During winter and migration seasons\, this habitat becomes even more vibrant as waterfowl and migratory shorebirds find refuge in its shallow pools and islands created by receding water.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The birdlife spectacle here draws local birders and nature lovers\, yet Yashwant Sagar’s ecological value is increasingly under strain. Despite its international recognition\, agricultural expansion\, pesticide runoff\, unregulated fishing and disturbances from boating and shoreline encroachments are altering habitat quality\, contributing to declines in key species like the Sarus Crane and raising concerns among conservationists about long-term health and biodiversity.

SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Maina-Raia Wetland\, Quepem\, Goa

Designated a Ramsar site and Important Bird Area (IBA)\, Yashwant Sagar’s mosaic of open water\, shallow backwaters and reed-lined edges creates a rich habitat for aquatic plants\, lotus beds and emergent vegetation that support an astonishing array of wildlife. Visitors to the pumping station area often find themselves surrounded by the rhythmic calls of waterbirds and raptors\, with the shimmering reservoir waters reflecting waders\, herons\, egrets and the elegant silhouettes of Sarus Cranes — central India’s iconic and vulnerable crane species. During winter and migration seasons\, this habitat becomes even more vibrant as waterfowl and migratory shorebirds find refuge in its shallow pools and islands created by receding water.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The birdlife spectacle here draws local birders and nature lovers\, yet Yashwant Sagar’s ecological value is increasingly under strain. Despite its international recognition\, agricultural expansion\, pesticide runoff\, unregulated fishing and disturbances from boating and shoreline encroachments are altering habitat quality\, contributing to declines in key species like the Sarus Crane and raising concerns among conservationists about long-term health and biodiversity. Efforts to balance sustainable use with protection — including clearer wetland demarcation\, community awareness and stronger habitat regulations — are essential to ensure that this beautiful wetland continues to thrive as a haven for birds and a natural jewel on the outskirts of Indore. 								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Yogendra kumar mimrot Basically I am a snake researcher from indore \, currently pursuing bsc and during my studies I have been studying birds as many of them feed on snakes and other macrofauna. 				\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 Pumping Station - Yashwant Sagar				\n				\n				\n				\n									The Pumping Station area at Yashwant Sagar\, Indore offers a rich and rewarding snapshot of the wetland’s birdlife\, with common species providing constant activity across land and water. Around the open grounds and scrub\, Rock Pigeons\, Laughing Doves\, House Sparrows\, Indian Silverbills\, Scaly-breasted and Red Munias\, Bush Larks and Sparrow Larks forage in flocks\, while Ashy Prinias\, Indian Robins\, Indian Chats and Canary-headed Flycatchers animate the bushes with movement and song. The skies and wires are often claimed by Wire-tailed Swallows\, Green Bee-eaters\, Long-tailed Shrikes and Pied Starlings\, adding flashes of colour and drama. Along the water’s edge and shallow pools\, Spot-billed Ducks\, Pond Herons\, Great\, Intermediate and Little Egrets\, Oriental Darters\, Indian Cormorants and White-breasted Waterhens are regular sights\, joined by elegant White-winged Stilts\, Red-wattled Lapwings\, River Terns and seasonal visitors like Ruff and Common Snipe. This everyday abundance forms the backbone of Yashwant Sagar’s impressive bird diversity — part of a remarkable checklist of over 216 bird species that makes the pumping station a favourite stop for birders exploring this celebrated wetland.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Laughing Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Long-tailed Shrike				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Sparrow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Great Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Darter				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					White - breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					River Tern				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Hawk Cuckoo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Snipe				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Wire-tailed Swallow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Pied Starling				\n				\n				\n				\n					Ruff				\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									A bird walk at the Pumping Station\, Yashwant Sagar was organized in collaboration with MP Tourism and led by Yogendra Kumar Mimrot\, with five participants joining the enriching nature experience.

Notable sightings included Grey-headed Flycatcher\, Asian Tit\, Tawny Lark\, Indian Sarus\, and the majestic Greater Spotted Eagle\, along with several other resident and visiting birds that highlighted the ecological richness of the area.

Designated a Ramsar site and Important Bird Area (IBA)\, Yashwant Sagar’s mosaic of open water\, shallow backwaters and reed-lined edges creates a rich habitat for aquatic plants\, lotus beds and emergent vegetation that support an astonishing array of wildlife. Visitors to the pumping station area often find themselves surrounded by the rhythmic calls of waterbirds and raptors\, with the shimmering reservoir waters reflecting waders\, herons\, egrets and the elegant silhouettes of Sarus Cranes — central India’s iconic and vulnerable crane species.

Designated a Ramsar site and Important Bird Area (IBA)\, Yashwant Sagar’s mosaic of open water\, shallow backwaters and reed-lined edges creates a rich habitat for aquatic plants\, lotus beds and emergent vegetation that support an astonishing array of wildlife. Visitors to the pumping station area often find themselves surrounded by the rhythmic calls of waterbirds and raptors\, with the shimmering reservoir waters reflecting waders\, herons\, egrets and the elegant silhouettes of Sarus Cranes — central India’s iconic and vulnerable crane species. During winter and migration seasons\, this habitat becomes even more vibrant as waterfowl and migratory shorebirds find refuge in its shallow pools and islands created by receding water.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The birdlife spectacle here draws local birders and nature lovers\, yet Yashwant Sagar’s ecological value is increasingly under strain. Despite its international recognition\, agricultural expansion\, pesticide runoff\, unregulated fishing and disturbances from boating and shoreline encroachments are altering habitat quality\, contributing to declines in key species like the Sarus Crane and raising concerns among conservationists about long-term health and biodiversity.

Designated a Ramsar site and Important Bird Area (IBA)\, Yashwant Sagar’s mosaic of open water\, shallow backwaters and reed-lined edges creates a rich habitat for aquatic plants\, lotus beds and emergent vegetation that support an astonishing array of wildlife. Visitors to the pumping station area often find themselves surrounded by the rhythmic calls of waterbirds and raptors\, with the shimmering reservoir waters reflecting waders\, herons\, egrets and the elegant silhouettes of Sarus Cranes — central India’s iconic and vulnerable crane species. During winter and migration seasons\, this habitat becomes even more vibrant as waterfowl and migratory shorebirds find refuge in its shallow pools and islands created by receding water.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The birdlife spectacle here draws local birders and nature lovers\, yet Yashwant Sagar’s ecological value is increasingly under strain. Despite its international recognition\, agricultural expansion\, pesticide runoff\, unregulated fishing and disturbances from boating and shoreline encroachments are altering habitat quality\, contributing to declines in key species like the Sarus Crane and raising concerns among conservationists about long-term health and biodiversity. Efforts to balance sustainable use with protection — including clearer wetland demarcation\, community awareness and stronger habitat regulations — are essential to ensure that this beautiful wetland continues to thrive as a haven for birds and a natural jewel on the outskirts of Indore. 								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Yogendra kumar mimrot Basically I am a snake researcher from indore \, currently pursuing bsc and during my studies I have been studying birds as many of them feed on snakes and other macrofauna. 				\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 Pumping Station - Yashwant Sagar				\n				\n				\n				\n									The Pumping Station area at Yashwant Sagar\, Indore offers a rich and rewarding snapshot of the wetland’s birdlife\, with common species providing constant activity across land and water. Around the open grounds and scrub\, Rock Pigeons\, Laughing Doves\, House Sparrows\, Indian Silverbills\, Scaly-breasted and Red Munias\, Bush Larks and Sparrow Larks forage in flocks\, while Ashy Prinias\, Indian Robins\, Indian Chats and Canary-headed Flycatchers animate the bushes with movement and song. The skies and wires are often claimed by Wire-tailed Swallows\, Green Bee-eaters\, Long-tailed Shrikes and Pied Starlings\, adding flashes of colour and drama. Along the water’s edge and shallow pools\, Spot-billed Ducks\, Pond Herons\, Great\, Intermediate and Little Egrets\, Oriental Darters\, Indian Cormorants and White-breasted Waterhens are regular sights\, joined by elegant White-winged Stilts\, Red-wattled Lapwings\, River Terns and seasonal visitors like Ruff and Common Snipe. This everyday abundance forms the backbone of Yashwant Sagar’s impressive bird diversity — part of a remarkable checklist of over 216 bird species that makes the pumping station a favourite stop for birders exploring this celebrated wetland.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Laughing Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Long-tailed Shrike				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Sparrow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Great Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Darter				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					White - breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					River Tern				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Hawk Cuckoo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Snipe				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Wire-tailed Swallow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Pied Starling				\n				\n				\n				\n					Ruff				\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									A bird walk at the Pumping Station\, Yashwant Sagar was organized in collaboration with MP Tourism and led by Yogendra Kumar Mimrot\, with five participants joining the enriching nature experience. The walk proved to be highly rewarding\, with the group recording more than 50 bird species across the wetland and surrounding habitats. Notable sightings included Grey-headed Flycatcher\, Asian Tit\, Tawny Lark\, Indian Sarus\, and the majestic Greater Spotted Eagle\, along with several other resident and visiting birds that highlighted the ecological richness of the area. Participants remained engaged throughout the walk\, gaining insights into bird identification\, behavior\, and habitat use\, and expressed satisfaction with both the diversity of species observed and the overall learning experience\, making the walk a memorable and successful outing.\n								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0
