SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Devara Cheruvu\, Kadiri\, Sathya Sai\, Andhra Pradesh
DESCRIPTION:Bird Walk at Fadahkar\, Bilaspur\, Chattisgarh				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n							\n											\n													\n										Bilaspur\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										23 November\, 2025\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										Rahul Gupta\n									\n						\n						\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					About Fadakhar				\n				\n				\n				\n									Fadakhár in Bilaspur\, Chhattisgarh\, is a serene semi-rural forest landscape marked by open fields\, scattered wetlands\, and agricultural patches. It is a reserve forest with Babool and Bamboo trees. The mosaic of forest land\, farmland\, waterbodies\, and tree cover makes it an inviting refuge for a variety of wildlife\, especially birds. Early mornings here are filled with the sounds of drongos calling from electric lines\, larks singing above grasslands\, and herons commuting between wetlands. Seasonal water channels and low-lying ponds support aquatic life\, while the farmlands attract seed-eating species and raptors looking for prey. The calm\, scenic atmosphere and easy accessibility from town have also made Fadakhár a quiet favourite among nature lovers and local birdwatchers. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Birdlife in Fadakhár reflects the richness of this mixed landscape. Waterbirds like Pond Herons\, Little Egrets\, Red-wattled Lapwings\, and the occasional Indian Spot-billed Duck frequent the wet patches\, while fields host flocks of munias\, pipits\, and larks. Indian Rollers and Green Bee-eaters bring colourful flashes to the open fields\, and Black Drongos perform acrobatic fly-catching from roadside perches. Raptors such as Black Kites and Shikras patrol the skies\, and shrikes scan from thorny shrubs for insects. During winter\, migratory species like wagtails and warblers join resident populations\, adding to the diversity. With its tranquil countryside setting and thriving birdlife\, Fadakhár stands out as a rewarding spot for observing the avifauna of central India.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Rahul GuptaElectrical Engineer by profession\, bird guide by passion — blending circuits and songbirds with equal precision. 				\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 Fadakhar				\n				\n				\n				\n									Fadakhar hosts a delightful mix of grassland\, farmland\, and wetland birds\, making it a rewarding spot for everyday birding. Green Bee-eaters and Black Drongos dominate the open fields\, while Jungle Babblers chatter through village hedges and House Crows remain ubiquitous near settlements. Wet patches attract Little Cormorants\, Pond Herons\, and the occasional Black Bittern or Night Heron\, while open skies are patrolled by Black Kites and Shikras searching for prey. The presence of Indian Silverbills and Scaly-breasted Munias adds charm to agricultural fields\, and during certain seasons\, Open-billed Storks can be seen foraging in shallow waters. Adding a splash of colour\, Golden Orioles may be spotted among tree canopies\, and the elusive Common Hawk-Cuckoo brings excitement with its distinct calls. Overall\, Fadakhar’s avian community reflects the harmony of farmland and wetland ecosystems in central India.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Black Kite				\n				\n				\n				\n					Scaly-breasted Munia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Paradise Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Hoopoe				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Sparrow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-crowned Night Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Pheasant-tailed Jacana				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Coot				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Baya Weaver				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Openbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown Shrike				\n				\n				\n				\n					Wire-tailed Swallow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Roller				\n				\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									The bird walk at Fadahkar brought together 21 participants along with few forest officials including the SCFO of Reserve Forest. Led by Rahul Gupta\, the group spotted around 40 species including Red collared Dove\, Green Sandpiper\, Indian Silverbill. The presence of forest officials added an enriching layer of ecological insight and local conservation perspectives to the walk.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Participants also see the birds more closely through binoculars\, how to obersve and blend with nature\, ethics of bird watching. This hands-on learning helped everyone understand why silent movement and careful observation are key in the field. It was an inspiring morning that strengthened the connection between people\, forest officials\, and the natural world.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

It is a reserve forest with Babool and Bamboo trees. The mosaic of forest land\, farmland\, waterbodies\, and tree cover makes it an inviting refuge for a variety of wildlife\, especially birds. Early mornings here are filled with the sounds of drongos calling from electric lines\, larks singing above grasslands\, and herons commuting between wetlands. Seasonal water channels and low-lying ponds support aquatic life\, while the farmlands attract seed-eating species and raptors looking for prey. The calm\, scenic atmosphere and easy accessibility from town have also made Fadakhár a quiet favourite among nature lovers and local birdwatchers. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Birdlife in Fadakhár reflects the richness of this mixed landscape. Waterbirds like Pond Herons\, Little Egrets\, Red-wattled Lapwings\, and the occasional Indian Spot-billed Duck frequent the wet patches\, while fields host flocks of munias\, pipits\, and larks. Indian Rollers and Green Bee-eaters bring colourful flashes to the open fields\, and Black Drongos perform acrobatic fly-catching from roadside perches. Raptors such as Black Kites and Shikras patrol the skies\, and shrikes scan from thorny shrubs for insects. During winter\, migratory species like wagtails and warblers join resident populations\, adding to the diversity.

It is a reserve forest with Babool and Bamboo trees. The mosaic of forest land\, farmland\, waterbodies\, and tree cover makes it an inviting refuge for a variety of wildlife\, especially birds. Early mornings here are filled with the sounds of drongos calling from electric lines\, larks singing above grasslands\, and herons commuting between wetlands. Seasonal water channels and low-lying ponds support aquatic life\, while the farmlands attract seed-eating species and raptors looking for prey. The calm\, scenic atmosphere and easy accessibility from town have also made Fadakhár a quiet favourite among nature lovers and local birdwatchers. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Birdlife in Fadakhár reflects the richness of this mixed landscape. Waterbirds like Pond Herons\, Little Egrets\, Red-wattled Lapwings\, and the occasional Indian Spot-billed Duck frequent the wet patches\, while fields host flocks of munias\, pipits\, and larks. Indian Rollers and Green Bee-eaters bring colourful flashes to the open fields\, and Black Drongos perform acrobatic fly-catching from roadside perches. Raptors such as Black Kites and Shikras patrol the skies\, and shrikes scan from thorny shrubs for insects. During winter\, migratory species like wagtails and warblers join resident populations\, adding to the diversity. With its tranquil countryside setting and thriving birdlife\, Fadakhár stands out as a rewarding spot for observing the avifauna of central India.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Rahul GuptaElectrical Engineer by profession\, bird guide by passion — blending circuits and songbirds with equal precision. 				\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 Fadakhar				\n				\n				\n				\n									Fadakhar hosts a delightful mix of grassland\, farmland\, and wetland birds\, making it a rewarding spot for everyday birding. Green Bee-eaters and Black Drongos dominate the open fields\, while Jungle Babblers chatter through village hedges and House Crows remain ubiquitous near settlements. Wet patches attract Little Cormorants\, Pond Herons\, and the occasional Black Bittern or Night Heron\, while open skies are patrolled by Black Kites and Shikras searching for prey. The presence of Indian Silverbills and Scaly-breasted Munias adds charm to agricultural fields\, and during certain seasons\, Open-billed Storks can be seen foraging in shallow waters. Adding a splash of colour\, Golden Orioles may be spotted among tree canopies\, and the elusive Common Hawk-Cuckoo brings excitement with its distinct calls. Overall\, Fadakhar’s avian community reflects the harmony of farmland and wetland ecosystems in central India.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Black Kite				\n				\n				\n				\n					Scaly-breasted Munia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Paradise Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Hoopoe				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Sparrow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-crowned Night Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Pheasant-tailed Jacana				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Coot				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Baya Weaver				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Openbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown Shrike				\n				\n				\n				\n					Wire-tailed Swallow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Roller				\n				\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									The bird walk at Fadahkar brought together 21 participants along with few forest officials including the SCFO of Reserve Forest. Led by Rahul Gupta\, the group spotted around 40 species including Red collared Dove\, Green Sandpiper\, Indian Silverbill. The presence of forest officials added an enriching layer of ecological insight and local conservation perspectives to the walk.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Participants also see the birds more closely through binoculars\, how to obersve and blend with nature\, ethics of bird watching. This hands-on learning helped everyone understand why silent movement and careful observation are key in the field.

It is a reserve forest with Babool and Bamboo trees. The mosaic of forest land\, farmland\, waterbodies\, and tree cover makes it an inviting refuge for a variety of wildlife\, especially birds. Early mornings here are filled with the sounds of drongos calling from electric lines\, larks singing above grasslands\, and herons commuting between wetlands. Seasonal water channels and low-lying ponds support aquatic life\, while the farmlands attract seed-eating species and raptors looking for prey. The calm\, scenic atmosphere and easy accessibility from town have also made Fadakhár a quiet favourite among nature lovers and local birdwatchers. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Birdlife in Fadakhár reflects the richness of this mixed landscape. Waterbirds like Pond Herons\, Little Egrets\, Red-wattled Lapwings\, and the occasional Indian Spot-billed Duck frequent the wet patches\, while fields host flocks of munias\, pipits\, and larks. Indian Rollers and Green Bee-eaters bring colourful flashes to the open fields\, and Black Drongos perform acrobatic fly-catching from roadside perches. Raptors such as Black Kites and Shikras patrol the skies\, and shrikes scan from thorny shrubs for insects. During winter\, migratory species like wagtails and warblers join resident populations\, adding to the diversity.

It is a reserve forest with Babool and Bamboo trees. The mosaic of forest land\, farmland\, waterbodies\, and tree cover makes it an inviting refuge for a variety of wildlife\, especially birds. Early mornings here are filled with the sounds of drongos calling from electric lines\, larks singing above grasslands\, and herons commuting between wetlands. Seasonal water channels and low-lying ponds support aquatic life\, while the farmlands attract seed-eating species and raptors looking for prey. The calm\, scenic atmosphere and easy accessibility from town have also made Fadakhár a quiet favourite among nature lovers and local birdwatchers. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Birdlife in Fadakhár reflects the richness of this mixed landscape. Waterbirds like Pond Herons\, Little Egrets\, Red-wattled Lapwings\, and the occasional Indian Spot-billed Duck frequent the wet patches\, while fields host flocks of munias\, pipits\, and larks. Indian Rollers and Green Bee-eaters bring colourful flashes to the open fields\, and Black Drongos perform acrobatic fly-catching from roadside perches. Raptors such as Black Kites and Shikras patrol the skies\, and shrikes scan from thorny shrubs for insects. During winter\, migratory species like wagtails and warblers join resident populations\, adding to the diversity. With its tranquil countryside setting and thriving birdlife\, Fadakhár stands out as a rewarding spot for observing the avifauna of central India.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Rahul GuptaElectrical Engineer by profession\, bird guide by passion — blending circuits and songbirds with equal precision. 				\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 Fadakhar				\n				\n				\n				\n									Fadakhar hosts a delightful mix of grassland\, farmland\, and wetland birds\, making it a rewarding spot for everyday birding.

Wet patches attract Little Cormorants\, Pond Herons\, and the occasional Black Bittern or Night Heron\, while open skies are patrolled by Black Kites and Shikras searching for prey. The presence of Indian Silverbills and Scaly-breasted Munias adds charm to agricultural fields\, and during certain seasons\, Open-billed Storks can be seen foraging in shallow waters. Adding a splash of colour\, Golden Orioles may be spotted among tree canopies\, and the elusive Common Hawk-Cuckoo brings excitement with its distinct calls.

It is a reserve forest with Babool and Bamboo trees. The mosaic of forest land\, farmland\, waterbodies\, and tree cover makes it an inviting refuge for a variety of wildlife\, especially birds. Early mornings here are filled with the sounds of drongos calling from electric lines\, larks singing above grasslands\, and herons commuting between wetlands. Seasonal water channels and low-lying ponds support aquatic life\, while the farmlands attract seed-eating species and raptors looking for prey. The calm\, scenic atmosphere and easy accessibility from town have also made Fadakhár a quiet favourite among nature lovers and local birdwatchers. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Birdlife in Fadakhár reflects the richness of this mixed landscape. Waterbirds like Pond Herons\, Little Egrets\, Red-wattled Lapwings\, and the occasional Indian Spot-billed Duck frequent the wet patches\, while fields host flocks of munias\, pipits\, and larks. Indian Rollers and Green Bee-eaters bring colourful flashes to the open fields\, and Black Drongos perform acrobatic fly-catching from roadside perches. Raptors such as Black Kites and Shikras patrol the skies\, and shrikes scan from thorny shrubs for insects. During winter\, migratory species like wagtails and warblers join resident populations\, adding to the diversity.

Early mornings here are filled with the sounds of drongos calling from electric lines\, larks singing above grasslands\, and herons commuting between wetlands. Seasonal water channels and low-lying ponds support aquatic life\, while the farmlands attract seed-eating species and raptors looking for prey. The calm\, scenic atmosphere and easy accessibility from town have also made Fadakhár a quiet favourite among nature lovers and local birdwatchers. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Birdlife in Fadakhár reflects the richness of this mixed landscape. Waterbirds like Pond Herons\, Little Egrets\, Red-wattled Lapwings\, and the occasional Indian Spot-billed Duck frequent the wet patches\, while fields host flocks of munias\, pipits\, and larks. Indian Rollers and Green Bee-eaters bring colourful flashes to the open fields\, and Black Drongos perform acrobatic fly-catching from roadside perches. Raptors such as Black Kites and Shikras patrol the skies\, and shrikes scan from thorny shrubs for insects. During winter\, migratory species like wagtails and warblers join resident populations\, adding to the diversity. With its tranquil countryside setting and thriving birdlife\, Fadakhár stands out as a rewarding spot for observing the avifauna of central India.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Rahul GuptaElectrical Engineer by profession\, bird guide by passion — blending circuits and songbirds with equal precision. 				\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 Fadakhar				\n				\n				\n				\n									Fadakhar hosts a delightful mix of grassland\, farmland\, and wetland birds\, making it a rewarding spot for everyday birding. Green Bee-eaters and Black Drongos dominate the open fields\, while Jungle Babblers chatter through village hedges and House Crows remain ubiquitous near settlements. Wet patches attract Little Cormorants\, Pond Herons\, and the occasional Black Bittern or Night Heron\, while open skies are patrolled by Black Kites and Shikras searching for prey. The presence of Indian Silverbills and Scaly-breasted Munias adds charm to agricultural fields\, and during certain seasons\, Open-billed Storks can be seen foraging in shallow waters. Adding a splash of colour\, Golden Orioles may be spotted among tree canopies\, and the elusive Common Hawk-Cuckoo brings excitement with its distinct calls. Overall\, Fadakhar’s avian community reflects the harmony of farmland and wetland ecosystems in central India.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Black Kite				\n				\n				\n				\n					Scaly-breasted Munia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Paradise Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Hoopoe				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Sparrow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-crowned Night Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Pheasant-tailed Jacana				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Coot				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Baya Weaver				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Openbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown Shrike				\n				\n				\n				\n					Wire-tailed Swallow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Roller				\n				\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									The bird walk at Fadahkar brought together 21 participants along with few forest officials including the SCFO of Reserve Forest. Led by Rahul Gupta\, the group spotted around 40 species including Red collared Dove\, Green Sandpiper\, Indian Silverbill. The presence of forest officials added an enriching layer of ecological insight and local conservation perspectives to the walk.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Participants also see the birds more closely through binoculars\, how to obersve and blend with nature\, ethics of bird watching. This hands-on learning helped everyone understand why silent movement and careful observation are key in the field.
