The park features extensive lawns\, mature trees\, landscaped areas\, flowering plants\, shrubs\, and open spaces that create a variety of habitats for urban wildlife. The combination of tree cover and open ground provides opportunities for observing birds and other small fauna\, while the changing vegetation through the seasons adds to the park’s ecological character. Its location within the central Delhi landscape also makes it an accessible green refuge for residents and visitors. \n \n \n \n As with many urban parks\, Nehru Park experiences regular human activity\, including recreation\, walking\, and other forms of public use. Maintaining mature trees\, native vegetation\, understory cover\, and quieter sections can help preserve habitat value alongside recreational functions. Managing litter\, excessive disturbance\, invasive vegetation\, and other pressures associated with intensive urban use is important for maintaining the park’s biodiversity.

The park’s shady trees\, open lawns and quiet corners created plenty of opportunities for sightings\, and the group recorded 29 species before the walk came to a close. The most dramatic moment came from a Shikra\, the compact and fierce hawk that is always a thrill to watch\, and the group followed its movements with fascination. Alongside it\, the Yellow-footed Green-Pigeon drew admiring glances\, its soft yellow-green plumage blending so perfectly with the leaves that finding it felt like solving a puzzle. The White-throated Kingfisher flashed its brilliant blue back and white throat from a perch\, and the Alexandrine Parakeet\, with its deep red shoulder patch and heavy bill\, called noisily overhead. The group also discovered a Rose-ringed Parakeet nest\, a delightful reminder that these colourful birds make their homes in the hollows of the park’s older trees\, and spotted Eurasian Moorhen chicks adding a charming touch of young life to the scene. Ankit shared helpful tips on identifying birds through their calls and behaviour\, and encouraged participants to look closely at the way different species move\, feed and interact. The relaxed pace and friendly atmosphere made the walk accessible for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned birders alike. By the end of the morning\, everyone agreed that the park held far more surprises than expected\, and they left with fresh enthusiasm for exploring the birdlife that shares the city with us every single day. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Number of Participants \n \n 0 URL:https://ataavi.org/event/bird-walk-at-ts-chanakya-navi-mumbai-ad/ CATEGORIES:Birding Bharat ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://ataavi.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/WhatsApp-Image-2026-09-20-at-09.51.18.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20260920T070000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20260920T090000 DTSTAMP:20261023T183513 CREATED:20260911T154711Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260922T142158Z UID:17688-1789887600-1789894800@ataavi.org SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Ratna lake\, Bopal\, Ahmedabad DESCRIPTION:Bird walk at Nehru Park\, New Delhi \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Delhi\n \n \n \n \n 3 October\, 2026\n \n \n \n \n Ankit Aryan\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About Nehru Park \n \n \n \n Nehru Park is a prominent urban green space in New Delhi\, offering a welcome natural setting within the city’s dense built environment.

The most dramatic moment came from a Shikra\, the compact and fierce hawk that is always a thrill to watch\, and the group followed its movements with fascination. Alongside it\, the Yellow-footed Green-Pigeon drew admiring glances\, its soft yellow-green plumage blending so perfectly with the leaves that finding it felt like solving a puzzle. The White-throated Kingfisher flashed its brilliant blue back and white throat from a perch\, and the Alexandrine Parakeet\, with its deep red shoulder patch and heavy bill\, called noisily overhead. The group also discovered a Rose-ringed Parakeet nest\, a delightful reminder that these colourful birds make their homes in the hollows of the park’s older trees\, and spotted Eurasian Moorhen chicks adding a charming touch of young life to the scene. Ankit shared helpful tips on identifying birds through their calls and behaviour\, and encouraged participants to look closely at the way different species move\, feed and interact. The relaxed pace and friendly atmosphere made the walk accessible for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned birders alike.

The White-throated Kingfisher flashed its brilliant blue back and white throat from a perch\, and the Alexandrine Parakeet\, with its deep red shoulder patch and heavy bill\, called noisily overhead.

Ankit shared helpful tips on identifying birds through their calls and behaviour\, and encouraged participants to look closely at the way different species move\, feed and interact.

The most dramatic moment came from a Shikra\, the compact and fierce hawk that is always a thrill to watch\, and the group followed its movements with fascination. Alongside it\, the Yellow-footed Green-Pigeon drew admiring glances\, its soft yellow-green plumage blending so perfectly with the leaves that finding it felt like solving a puzzle. The White-throated Kingfisher flashed its brilliant blue back and white throat from a perch\, and the Alexandrine Parakeet\, with its deep red shoulder patch and heavy bill\, called noisily overhead. The group also discovered a Rose-ringed Parakeet nest\, a delightful reminder that these colourful birds make their homes in the hollows of the park’s older trees\, and spotted Eurasian Moorhen chicks adding a charming touch of young life to the scene. Ankit shared helpful tips on identifying birds through their calls and behaviour\, and encouraged participants to look closely at the way different species move\, feed and interact. The relaxed pace and friendly atmosphere made the walk accessible for beginners and enjoyable for seasoned birders alike. By the end of the morning\, everyone agreed that the park held far more surprises than expected\, and they left with fresh enthusiasm for exploring the birdlife that shares the city with us every single day. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Number of Participants \n \n 0 URL:https://ataavi.org/event/bird-walk-at-thazhambur-big-lake-chennai/ CATEGORIES:Birding Bharat ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://ataavi.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/indian-pond-heron.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20260913T073000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20260913T093000 DTSTAMP:20261023T183514 CREATED:20260904T101642Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260916T145801Z UID:17201-1789284600-1789291800@ataavi.org SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Umbarli Hills\, Thane\, Maharashtra DESCRIPTION:Bird walk at Nehru Park\, New Delhi \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Delhi\n \n \n \n \n 3 October\, 2026\n \n \n \n \n Ankit Aryan\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About Nehru Park \n \n \n \n Nehru Park is a prominent urban green space in New Delhi\, offering a welcome natural setting within the city’s dense built environment. The park features extensive lawns\, mature trees\, landscaped areas\, flowering plants\, shrubs\, and open spaces that create a variety of habitats for urban wildlife. The combination of tree cover and open ground provides opportunities for observing birds and other small fauna\, while the changing vegetation through the seasons adds to the park’s ecological character. Its location within the central Delhi landscape also makes it an accessible green refuge for residents and visitors. \n \n \n \n As with many urban parks\, Nehru Park experiences regular human activity\, including recreation\, walking\, and other forms of public use. Maintaining mature trees\, native vegetation\, understory cover\, and quieter sections can help preserve habitat value alongside recreational functions. Managing litter\, excessive disturbance\, invasive vegetation\, and other pressures associated with intensive urban use is important for maintaining the park’s biodiversity. With thoughtful management\, Nehru Park can continue to serve both as a significant public green space and as a valuable urban habitat within New Delhi. \n \n \n \n \n Bird Guide - Ankit AryanHe is a Mechanical Engineer with 3 years of experience in birdwatching and a strong passion for environmental conservation. He enjoys exploring nature\, observing and documenting birds\, and deepening his understanding of their behaviour and habitats. Through his interest in birding\, he hopes to encourage greater awareness and appreciation for wildlife and the natural environment.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Partnered with Magadh Nature Conservation Trust \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 Nehru Park \n \n \n \n Nehru Park supports a diverse mix of wetland\, woodland\, garden\, and urban-adapted birds\, reflecting the variety of habitats within this large green space. Wetland-associated species such as Indian Spot-billed Duck\, Eurasian Moorhen\, Eurasian Coot\, Indian Pond-Heron\, and Red-wattled Lapwing make use of the park’s waterbodies and open areas. Red-naped Ibis is particularly notable among the larger wetland and open-ground birds recorded here.
