About Amrut Biodiversity Park
Amrut Biodiversity Park in New Delhi is an urban biodiversity space developed to conserve native vegetation and provide a natural refuge within the rapidly expanding city. The park represents an effort to restore and enhance local ecological habitats, with a landscape comprising native trees, shrubs, grasses, and other vegetation that support a variety of wildlife. Such biodiversity parks are important in Delhi as they help maintain green corridors, improve the urban microclimate, support pollinators, and provide opportunities for people to experience and learn about native ecosystems.
The park’s diverse vegetation and relatively natural setting provide suitable habitats for birds, butterflies, insects, and other small wildlife. Different layers of vegetation offer feeding, nesting, and roosting opportunities, while flowering and fruiting plants attract nectar-feeders and frugivorous species. The presence of an ecologically diverse green space within the city also makes Amrut Biodiversity Park useful for birdwatching, nature education, and documenting changes in urban biodiversity. Its value extends beyond recreation, demonstrating how restoration of native habitats can contribute to conservation even in a densely populated metropolitan landscape.

Summary of Walk
Amrut Biodiversity Park in New Delhi hosted an eventful evening bird walk on 13 September, with 7 participants led by guide Kashif. The group recorded 42 species, with a Red Avadavat spotted collecting nesting material in its beak and flying just over the group early in the walk, setting an exciting tone.
The undoubted jackpot sighting was a European Roller, which sat on a low branch before flying off right in front of participants. A group of Tricolour Munias was seen feeding just above the water body as the sun began to set, and Grey Francolin rounded out the highlights. As the group prepared to leave, they came across an entire owlet family together — everyone quietly moved closer and took their time observing them in peace, bringing a memorable evening walk to a fitting close.
