Abutting the dense forests of Sanjay Gandhi National Park\, the centre is spread across a landscape of regenerating deciduous forest\, freshwater waterholes\, and rocky trails.The centre supports a rich variety of flora and fauna typical of the Western Ghats’ foothills. Native trees like Teak and Silk Cotton create a thriving habitat for butterflies\, reptiles (including the Indian Rock Python)\, and mammals like the Leopard and Barking Deer. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birdwatchers\, BNHS CEC offers a rewarding experience\, with forest specialists like the Greater Racket-tailed Drongo\, Malabar Whistling Thrush\, and various raptors frequently spotted along its quiet trails and the famous Salim Ali Point.\n\nBeyond being a birding hotspot\, the centre plays a crucial role in environmental awareness through guided walks\, online-hybrid certification courses\, and research. However\, the surrounding ecosystem faces pressures from urban expansion and habitat fragmentation. By promoting responsible nature appreciation\, BNHS CEC continues to inspire visitors to protect the fragile forest corridors that support Mumbai’s wild neighbors.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Rohan J RaneHe is a passionate birder from Mumbai\, has been exploring the city’s rich avian life for many years. 18 years old wildlife photographer who is on a mission to see the flora and fauna of our mother nation INDIA  				\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 BNHS CEC				\n				\n				\n				\n									The lush forest of the BNHS Conservation Education Centre (CEC) provides a vital refuge for specialized woodland birdlife.

The persistent “tonk-tonk” of the Coppersmith Barbet and the loud calls of the Brown-headed Barbet provide a constant soundtrack. Small\, energetic birds like the Common Iora\, Tickell’s Blue Flycatcher\, and the Thick-billed Flowerpecker flit through the bamboo and flowering trees.\n\nHigh above\, the Shikra and the Crested Serpent Eagle patrol the skies. The trails also reveal charismatic residents like the Indian Grey Hornbill\, Oriental Magpie-Robin\, and the seasonally visiting Indian Paradise Flycatcher. Near the seasonal waterholes\, the vibrant White-throated Kingfisher and Asian Green Bee-eater add flashes of brilliant color\, showcasing the rich forest biodiversity thriving on the edge of the city.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Asian Emerald Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Grey Hornbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown-headed Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Woodshrike				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Golden Oriole				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Iora				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-whiskered Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Magpie Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Laughing Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Coucal				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Kite				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Blue-capped Rock Thrush				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red Spurfowl				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Buzzard				\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									On 9th August 2026\, a bird walk was held at the BNHS Conservation Education Centre (CEC)\, Mumbai\, guided by Rohan J Rane\, with 18 participants taking part.

Towards the end of the trail\, the group paused for a memorable group photograph to mark the occasion. Just when everyone thought the walk was over\, a final surprise awaited: a beautiful Banded Bay Cuckoo\, providing a perfect and unexpected conclusion to the session. The mix of birds\, insects and shared moments made for an enjoyable and well-rounded morning of exploration at the BNHS Conservation Education Centre.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

The walk got off to an intriguing start when the group came across claw marks along the trail\, sparking curiosity and setting an adventurous tone for the jungle walk ahead. As the group moved deeper into the forest\, they enjoyed spotting multiple species of insects alongside the birds\, adding an extra layer of interest to the outing.\nAlong the trail\, the group had good sightings of the Vigor’s Sunbird\, Loten’s Sunbird\, Grey-breasted Prinia and Puff-throated Babbler. Towards the end of the trail\, the group paused for a memorable group photograph to mark the occasion. Just when everyone thought the walk was over\, a final surprise awaited: a beautiful Banded Bay Cuckoo\, providing a perfect and unexpected conclusion to the session. The mix of birds\, insects and shared moments made for an enjoyable and well-rounded morning of exploration at the BNHS Conservation Education Centre.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

Native trees like Teak and Silk Cotton create a thriving habitat for butterflies\, reptiles (including the Indian Rock Python)\, and mammals like the Leopard and Barking Deer. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birdwatchers\, BNHS CEC offers a rewarding experience\, with forest specialists like the Greater Racket-tailed Drongo\, Malabar Whistling Thrush\, and various raptors frequently spotted along its quiet trails and the famous Salim Ali Point.\n\nBeyond being a birding hotspot\, the centre plays a crucial role in environmental awareness through guided walks\, online-hybrid certification courses\, and research.
