Surrounded by patches of greenery\, walking trails\, and residential landscapes\, the pond supports a mix of aquatic vegetation\, reeds\, and open water habitats. These features make it an inviting space not just for visitors\, but also for a variety of birds and small wildlife that thrive in such semi-natural urban ecosystems. \n \n \n \n Despite being within a developed area\, NRI Pond plays an important ecological role as a habitat for both resident and migratory birds\, especially during the winter months. Waterbirds\, waders\, and common urban species find refuge here\, making it a popular spot for birdwatching and nature walks. However\, like many urban wetlands\, it faces pressures from pollution\, littering\, and increasing human disturbance. Protecting and maintaining such green-blue spaces is crucial\, as they act as biodiversity pockets and provide city dwellers with a much-needed connection to nature. \n \n \n \n \n Bird Guide: Yashraj ThakareCurrently pursuing his MS in Wildlife Conservation Action\, he has been active in the field for three years and leading trails for the past two.

Alongside them\, flocks of Lesser Whistling Duck and the occasional Indian Spot-billed Duck glide across the water\, while elegant waders like the Black-winged Stilt and sandpipers forage along the edges. The presence of species like Painted Stork and Great Egret further highlights the richness of this urban wetland habitat.\n\nBeyond the water’s edge\, the surrounding vegetation and open spaces are equally alive with bird activity. Calls of the Asian Koel and Oriental Magpie Robin echo through the area\, while species like the White-breasted Waterhen\, Eurasian Moorhen\, and Grey-headed Swamphen move through marshy patches. Kingfishers flash bright blues along the water\, and raptors such as the Brahminy Kite and Black Kite soar above.

Surrounded by patches of greenery\, walking trails\, and residential landscapes\, the pond supports a mix of aquatic vegetation\, reeds\, and open water habitats. These features make it an inviting space not just for visitors\, but also for a variety of birds and small wildlife that thrive in such semi-natural urban ecosystems. \n \n \n \n Despite being within a developed area\, NRI Pond plays an important ecological role as a habitat for both resident and migratory birds\, especially during the winter months. Waterbirds\, waders\, and common urban species find refuge here\, making it a popular spot for birdwatching and nature walks. However\, like many urban wetlands\, it faces pressures from pollution\, littering\, and increasing human disturbance. Protecting and maintaining such green-blue spaces is crucial\, as they act as biodiversity pockets and provide city dwellers with a much-needed connection to nature. \n \n \n \n \n Bird Guide: Yashraj ThakareCurrently pursuing his MS in Wildlife Conservation Action\, he has been active in the field for three years and leading trails for the past two. With a deep interest in entomology and herpetofauna\, he brings a well-rounded\, curious perspective to every nature walk. \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 NRI Pond \n \n \n \n The wetlands of NRI Pond transform into a spectacular birding haven\, especially when large congregations gather across its open waters. One of the most breathtaking sights is the sheer number of Lesser Flamingo\, painting the landscape in soft shades of pink and creating an unforgettable visual experience. Alongside them\, flocks of Lesser Whistling Duck and the occasional Indian Spot-billed Duck glide across the water\, while elegant waders like the Black-winged Stilt and sandpipers forage along the edges. The presence of species like Painted Stork and Great Egret further highlights the richness of this urban wetland habitat.\n\nBeyond the water’s edge\, the surrounding vegetation and open spaces are equally alive with bird activity. Calls of the Asian Koel and Oriental Magpie Robin echo through the area\, while species like the White-breasted Waterhen\, Eurasian Moorhen\, and Grey-headed Swamphen move through marshy patches. Kingfishers flash bright blues along the water\, and raptors such as the Brahminy Kite and Black Kite soar above. Smaller birds—from prinias and bulbuls to sunbirds and fantails—add constant motion and sound\, making every moment here dynamic. \n \n \n \n \n Lesser Flamingo \n \n \n \n Lesser Whistling Duck \n \n \n \n Indian Spot - billed Duck \n \n \n \n Greater Coucal \n \n \n \n Asian Koel \n \n \n \n Common Moorhen \n \n \n \n Grey-headed Swamphen \n \n \n \n White-breasted Waterhen \n \n \n \n Black-winged Stilt \n \n \n \n Red-wattled Lapwing \n \n \n \n Common Sandpiper \n \n \n \n Wood Sandpiper \n \n \n \n Little Grebe \n \n \n \n Painted Stork \n \n \n \n Indian Pond Heron \n \n \n \n Great Egret \n \n \n \n Black Kite \n \n \n \n Brahminy Kite \n \n \n \n Common Kingfisher \n \n \n \n White-throated Kingfisher \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.
