SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Viva Wetlands\, Virar\, Maharashtra
DESCRIPTION:Bird Walk at Ambazari Biodiversity Park\, Nagpur\, Maharashtra				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n							\n							\n											\n													\n										Nagpur\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										28 June\, 2026\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										Ojas Harkare\n									\n						\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					About Ambazari Biodiversity Park				\n				\n				\n				\n									Spread across nearly 750–758 hectares\, Ambazari Biodiversity Park is a remarkable green oasis within the city’s urban landscape. Characterised by a mosaic of dry deciduous forest\, grasslands\, scrub\, and wetland backwaters\, the park supports an impressive ecological diversity. Over 400 plant species have been recorded here\, including several endemic varieties\, along with rich grass diversity that sustains the open habitats. This blend of ecosystems makes the park not just scenic\, but ecologically significant—offering refuge to mammals like jackals and deer\, along with reptiles\, insects\, and other fauna.								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birders\, Ambazari is a quiet paradise. With over 160 bird species recorded\, including migratory visitors\, its grasslands and water edges create ideal conditions for both resident and seasonal birds. Early mornings reveal a chorus of calls and movement\, making it a rewarding space for observation and photography. However\, like many urban biodiversity hotspots\, the park faces growing pressures—frequent grassland fires\, habitat disturbance\, infrastructure expansion\, and pollution threaten its fragile ecosystems. Continued conservation efforts and awareness initiatives remain crucial to ensure that Ambazari thrives as both a biodiversity refuge and a living classroom for nature enthusiasts.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Ojas HarkareBased in Nagpur\, he is a birdwatching guide with over six years of birding experience and a passion for showcasing the region's rich avian diversity. Despite being a recent graduate\, he enjoys introducing beginners and nature enthusiasts to birds through engaging\, ethical\, and educational birdwatching experiences.\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					Common birds of Ambazari Biodiversity Park				\n				\n				\n				\n									At Ambazari Biodiversity Park\, birdlife is both abundant and captivating\, with over 165 species recorded across its varied habitats. The park’s open grasslands and forest edges are often graced by the stately Indian Peafowl and the shy Gray Francolin\, while a variety of doves—from Spotted Dove to Laughing Dove—add gentle movement to the landscape. Wetland fringes attract species like the White-breasted Waterhen\, Little Egret\, and Indian Pond-Heron\, while lapwings call loudly from open grounds. The trees echo with the calls of Asian Koel and Common Hawk-Cuckoo\, and the elusive Greater Coucal moves quietly through undergrowth. Overhead\, raptors such as the Shikra\, Black-winged Kite\, and Oriental Honey-buzzard patrol the skies\, completing a dynamic birding experience that makes Ambazari a rewarding destination for both beginners and seasoned birdwatchers.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Francolin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Tailorbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Collared Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Peafowl				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-crowned Night Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Tickell's Blue Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Honey Buzzard				\n				\n				\n				\n					Orange-headed Thrush				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Laughing Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Paradise Flycatcher				\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 Ambazari Biodiversity Park brought together nine participants for an enthusiastic and learning-focused session. Despite the hot and humid weather conditions\, the group remained highly engaged throughout the walk\, showcasing strong interest and curiosity. The park’s mix of wetland edges and forested trails provided diverse habitats\, allowing participants to experience a variety of birdlife within a relatively compact area. The presence of a mix of beginners and an intermediate birder created a collaborative learning environment\, where observations and insights were actively shared.\nA total of 30 species were recorded during the walk. Highlights included the striking Pied Cuckoo\, which generated excitement among participants\, along with the Bronze-winged Jacana\, showcasing the richness of the wetland ecosystem. The vibrant Small Minivet was another crowd favourite\, especially among beginners\, while sightings of Baya Weavers and their nests added behavioural context to the experience. The walk extended beyond its planned duration\, as participants were eager to spend more time observing and discussing sightings. Overall\, the session successfully combined education\, engagement\, and enjoyment\, making it a memorable birding experience.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

Characterised by a mosaic of dry deciduous forest\, grasslands\, scrub\, and wetland backwaters\, the park supports an impressive ecological diversity. Over 400 plant species have been recorded here\, including several endemic varieties\, along with rich grass diversity that sustains the open habitats. This blend of ecosystems makes the park not just scenic\, but ecologically significant—offering refuge to mammals like jackals and deer\, along with reptiles\, insects\, and other fauna.								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birders\, Ambazari is a quiet paradise. With over 160 bird species recorded\, including migratory visitors\, its grasslands and water edges create ideal conditions for both resident and seasonal birds. Early mornings reveal a chorus of calls and movement\, making it a rewarding space for observation and photography. However\, like many urban biodiversity hotspots\, the park faces growing pressures—frequent grassland fires\, habitat disturbance\, infrastructure expansion\, and pollution threaten its fragile ecosystems.

Characterised by a mosaic of dry deciduous forest\, grasslands\, scrub\, and wetland backwaters\, the park supports an impressive ecological diversity. Over 400 plant species have been recorded here\, including several endemic varieties\, along with rich grass diversity that sustains the open habitats. This blend of ecosystems makes the park not just scenic\, but ecologically significant—offering refuge to mammals like jackals and deer\, along with reptiles\, insects\, and other fauna.								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birders\, Ambazari is a quiet paradise. With over 160 bird species recorded\, including migratory visitors\, its grasslands and water edges create ideal conditions for both resident and seasonal birds. Early mornings reveal a chorus of calls and movement\, making it a rewarding space for observation and photography. However\, like many urban biodiversity hotspots\, the park faces growing pressures—frequent grassland fires\, habitat disturbance\, infrastructure expansion\, and pollution threaten its fragile ecosystems. Continued conservation efforts and awareness initiatives remain crucial to ensure that Ambazari thrives as both a biodiversity refuge and a living classroom for nature enthusiasts.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Ojas HarkareBased in Nagpur\, he is a birdwatching guide with over six years of birding experience and a passion for showcasing the region's rich avian diversity.

The park’s open grasslands and forest edges are often graced by the stately Indian Peafowl and the shy Gray Francolin\, while a variety of doves—from Spotted Dove to Laughing Dove—add gentle movement to the landscape. Wetland fringes attract species like the White-breasted Waterhen\, Little Egret\, and Indian Pond-Heron\, while lapwings call loudly from open grounds. The trees echo with the calls of Asian Koel and Common Hawk-Cuckoo\, and the elusive Greater Coucal moves quietly through undergrowth. Overhead\, raptors such as the Shikra\, Black-winged Kite\, and Oriental Honey-buzzard patrol the skies\, completing a dynamic birding experience that makes Ambazari a rewarding destination for both beginners and seasoned birdwatchers.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Francolin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Tailorbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Collared Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Peafowl				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-crowned Night Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Tickell's Blue Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Honey Buzzard				\n				\n				\n				\n					Orange-headed Thrush				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Laughing Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Paradise Flycatcher				\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 Ambazari Biodiversity Park brought together nine participants for an enthusiastic and learning-focused session. Despite the hot and humid weather conditions\, the group remained highly engaged throughout the walk\, showcasing strong interest and curiosity. The park’s mix of wetland edges and forested trails provided diverse habitats\, allowing participants to experience a variety of birdlife within a relatively compact area. The presence of a mix of beginners and an intermediate birder created a collaborative learning environment\, where observations and insights were actively shared.\nA total of 30 species were recorded during the walk. Highlights included the striking Pied Cuckoo\, which generated excitement among participants\, along with the Bronze-winged Jacana\, showcasing the richness of the wetland ecosystem. The vibrant Small Minivet was another crowd favourite\, especially among beginners\, while sightings of Baya Weavers and their nests added behavioural context to the experience. The walk extended beyond its planned duration\, as participants were eager to spend more time observing and discussing sightings. Overall\, the session successfully combined education\, engagement\, and enjoyment\, making it a memorable birding experience.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

Characterised by a mosaic of dry deciduous forest\, grasslands\, scrub\, and wetland backwaters\, the park supports an impressive ecological diversity. Over 400 plant species have been recorded here\, including several endemic varieties\, along with rich grass diversity that sustains the open habitats. This blend of ecosystems makes the park not just scenic\, but ecologically significant—offering refuge to mammals like jackals and deer\, along with reptiles\, insects\, and other fauna.								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birders\, Ambazari is a quiet paradise. With over 160 bird species recorded\, including migratory visitors\, its grasslands and water edges create ideal conditions for both resident and seasonal birds. Early mornings reveal a chorus of calls and movement\, making it a rewarding space for observation and photography. However\, like many urban biodiversity hotspots\, the park faces growing pressures—frequent grassland fires\, habitat disturbance\, infrastructure expansion\, and pollution threaten its fragile ecosystems.

Characterised by a mosaic of dry deciduous forest\, grasslands\, scrub\, and wetland backwaters\, the park supports an impressive ecological diversity. Over 400 plant species have been recorded here\, including several endemic varieties\, along with rich grass diversity that sustains the open habitats. This blend of ecosystems makes the park not just scenic\, but ecologically significant—offering refuge to mammals like jackals and deer\, along with reptiles\, insects\, and other fauna.								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birders\, Ambazari is a quiet paradise. With over 160 bird species recorded\, including migratory visitors\, its grasslands and water edges create ideal conditions for both resident and seasonal birds. Early mornings reveal a chorus of calls and movement\, making it a rewarding space for observation and photography. However\, like many urban biodiversity hotspots\, the park faces growing pressures—frequent grassland fires\, habitat disturbance\, infrastructure expansion\, and pollution threaten its fragile ecosystems. Continued conservation efforts and awareness initiatives remain crucial to ensure that Ambazari thrives as both a biodiversity refuge and a living classroom for nature enthusiasts.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Ojas HarkareBased in Nagpur\, he is a birdwatching guide with over six years of birding experience and a passion for showcasing the region's rich avian diversity.

The park’s open grasslands and forest edges are often graced by the stately Indian Peafowl and the shy Gray Francolin\, while a variety of doves—from Spotted Dove to Laughing Dove—add gentle movement to the landscape. Wetland fringes attract species like the White-breasted Waterhen\, Little Egret\, and Indian Pond-Heron\, while lapwings call loudly from open grounds. The trees echo with the calls of Asian Koel and Common Hawk-Cuckoo\, and the elusive Greater Coucal moves quietly through undergrowth. Overhead\, raptors such as the Shikra\, Black-winged Kite\, and Oriental Honey-buzzard patrol the skies\, completing a dynamic birding experience that makes Ambazari a rewarding destination for both beginners and seasoned birdwatchers.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Francolin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Tailorbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Collared Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Peafowl				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-crowned Night Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Tickell's Blue Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Honey Buzzard				\n				\n				\n				\n					Orange-headed Thrush				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Laughing Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Paradise Flycatcher				\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 Ambazari Biodiversity Park brought together nine participants for an enthusiastic and learning-focused session. Despite the hot and humid weather conditions\, the group remained highly engaged throughout the walk\, showcasing strong interest and curiosity. The park’s mix of wetland edges and forested trails provided diverse habitats\, allowing participants to experience a variety of birdlife within a relatively compact area. The presence of a mix of beginners and an intermediate birder created a collaborative learning environment\, where observations and insights were actively shared.\nA total of 30 species were recorded during the walk. Highlights included the striking Pied Cuckoo\, which generated excitement among participants\, along with the Bronze-winged Jacana\, showcasing the richness of the wetland ecosystem. The vibrant Small Minivet was another crowd favourite\, especially among beginners\, while sightings of Baya Weavers and their nests added behavioural context to the experience. The walk extended beyond its planned duration\, as participants were eager to spend more time observing and discussing sightings. Overall\, the session successfully combined education\, engagement\, and enjoyment\, making it a memorable birding experience.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

Characterised by a mosaic of dry deciduous forest\, grasslands\, scrub\, and wetland backwaters\, the park supports an impressive ecological diversity. Over 400 plant species have been recorded here\, including several endemic varieties\, along with rich grass diversity that sustains the open habitats. This blend of ecosystems makes the park not just scenic\, but ecologically significant—offering refuge to mammals like jackals and deer\, along with reptiles\, insects\, and other fauna.								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birders\, Ambazari is a quiet paradise. With over 160 bird species recorded\, including migratory visitors\, its grasslands and water edges create ideal conditions for both resident and seasonal birds. Early mornings reveal a chorus of calls and movement\, making it a rewarding space for observation and photography. However\, like many urban biodiversity hotspots\, the park faces growing pressures—frequent grassland fires\, habitat disturbance\, infrastructure expansion\, and pollution threaten its fragile ecosystems. Continued conservation efforts and awareness initiatives remain crucial to ensure that Ambazari thrives as both a biodiversity refuge and a living classroom for nature enthusiasts.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Ojas HarkareBased in Nagpur\, he is a birdwatching guide with over six years of birding experience and a passion for showcasing the region's rich avian diversity.

Characterised by a mosaic of dry deciduous forest\, grasslands\, scrub\, and wetland backwaters\, the park supports an impressive ecological diversity. Over 400 plant species have been recorded here\, including several endemic varieties\, along with rich grass diversity that sustains the open habitats. This blend of ecosystems makes the park not just scenic\, but ecologically significant—offering refuge to mammals like jackals and deer\, along with reptiles\, insects\, and other fauna.								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birders\, Ambazari is a quiet paradise. With over 160 bird species recorded\, including migratory visitors\, its grasslands and water edges create ideal conditions for both resident and seasonal birds. Early mornings reveal a chorus of calls and movement\, making it a rewarding space for observation and photography. However\, like many urban biodiversity hotspots\, the park faces growing pressures—frequent grassland fires\, habitat disturbance\, infrastructure expansion\, and pollution threaten its fragile ecosystems. Continued conservation efforts and awareness initiatives remain crucial to ensure that Ambazari thrives as both a biodiversity refuge and a living classroom for nature enthusiasts.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Ojas HarkareBased in Nagpur\, he is a birdwatching guide with over six years of birding experience and a passion for showcasing the region's rich avian diversity. Despite being a recent graduate\, he enjoys introducing beginners and nature enthusiasts to birds through engaging\, ethical\, and educational birdwatching experiences.\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					Common birds of Ambazari Biodiversity Park				\n				\n				\n				\n									At Ambazari Biodiversity Park\, birdlife is both abundant and captivating\, with over 165 species recorded across its varied habitats. The park’s open grasslands and forest edges are often graced by the stately Indian Peafowl and the shy Gray Francolin\, while a variety of doves—from Spotted Dove to Laughing Dove—add gentle movement to the landscape. Wetland fringes attract species like the White-breasted Waterhen\, Little Egret\, and Indian Pond-Heron\, while lapwings call loudly from open grounds. The trees echo with the calls of Asian Koel and Common Hawk-Cuckoo\, and the elusive Greater Coucal moves quietly through undergrowth. Overhead\, raptors such as the Shikra\, Black-winged Kite\, and Oriental Honey-buzzard patrol the skies\, completing a dynamic birding experience that makes Ambazari a rewarding destination for both beginners and seasoned birdwatchers.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Francolin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Tailorbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Collared Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Peafowl				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-crowned Night Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Tickell's Blue Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Honey Buzzard				\n				\n				\n				\n					Orange-headed Thrush				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Laughing Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Paradise Flycatcher				\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 Ambazari Biodiversity Park brought together nine participants for an enthusiastic and learning-focused session. Despite the hot and humid weather conditions\, the group remained highly engaged throughout the walk\, showcasing strong interest and curiosity. The park’s mix of wetland edges and forested trails provided diverse habitats\, allowing participants to experience a variety of birdlife within a relatively compact area. The presence of a mix of beginners and an intermediate birder created a collaborative learning environment\, where observations and insights were actively shared.\nA total of 30 species were recorded during the walk. Highlights included the striking Pied Cuckoo\, which generated excitement among participants\, along with the Bronze-winged Jacana\, showcasing the richness of the wetland ecosystem. The vibrant Small Minivet was another crowd favourite\, especially among beginners\, while sightings of Baya Weavers and their nests added behavioural context to the experience. The walk extended beyond its planned duration\, as participants were eager to spend more time observing and discussing sightings. Overall\, the session successfully combined education\, engagement\, and enjoyment\, making it a memorable birding experience.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0
