SUMMARY:Bird Walk at E.F.I Bird Watching Point - Muttukadu Backwaters\, Chennai
DESCRIPTION:Bird Walk at Deer Park\, Ooty\, Tamil Nadu				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n							\n							\n											\n													\n										Ooty\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										30 August\, 2026\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										S. Jeevanandan\n									\n						\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					About Deer Park				\n				\n				\n				\n									Deer Park in Ooty is a peaceful green space within the Nilgiri hills\, surrounded by the cool montane climate and characteristic vegetation of the region. Located at an elevation of around 2\,200 metres\, Ooty’s landscape is shaped by rolling hills\, shola vegetation\, grasslands\, eucalyptus and other planted trees\, along with gardens and waterbodies. Deer Park provides a mix of open grassy areas\, tree cover and patches of dense vegetation\, creating suitable habitat for a variety of birds. Its relatively quiet surroundings make it an interesting place to explore the birdlife of the Nilgiris while also experiencing the distinctive high-altitude landscape of Ooty.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The combination of woodland\, open spaces and nearby water makes the park useful for observing both forest and wetland-associated birds. The surrounding Nilgiri landscape is particularly important for several high-elevation and montane species\, many of which are closely associated with the Western Ghats. Seasonal changes in temperature\, vegetation and insect activity can influence the bird species encountered around the park. As an urban green space within a heavily visited hill station\, Deer Park also highlights the importance of retaining natural vegetation and minimizing disturbance to wildlife. For birdwatchers\, it offers an accessible opportunity to explore the diverse avifauna of the Nilgiris while enjoying Ooty’s characteristic cool-weather environment.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - S.JeevanandanGuided birdwatching activities by helping participants identify native and endemic bird species while explaining their behavior\, habitats\, and ecological significance. Promoted responsible birdwatching and increased awareness of wildlife conservation through engaging nature interpretation. 				\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					Common birds of Deer Park				\n				\n				\n				\n									Deer Park offers an interesting mix of montane woodland\, open grassland and wetland habitats\, supporting a variety of birds typical of the Nilgiri hills. The surrounding trees and vegetation provide habitat for insectivorous species such as Grey-headed Canary-Flycatcher\, Greenish Warbler\, Black-crested Tit\, Black-and-orange Flycatcher and Nilgiri Flycatcher. The Nilgiri Flycatcher is particularly noteworthy as a species associated with the high-elevation forests and shola-grassland landscape of the Western Ghats. Grey Junglefowl is another attractive species to look for around the wooded sections\, while Red-whiskered Bulbul and Spotted Dove add to the more familiar birdlife.\n\nThe presence of water adds another dimension to birding\, with Indian Spot-billed Duck\, Eurasian Coot\, Cormorant and Indian Pond-Heron using aquatic habitats and their edges. Grey Wagtail can also be found around suitable wet areas and streams. The combination of water\, open spaces and tree cover makes Deer Park a rewarding location for observing different bird groups within a relatively small area. For birdwatchers visiting Ooty\, the park provides an accessible introduction to the distinctive birdlife of the Nilgiris and an opportunity to look for both common species and specialised montane birds.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Coot				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey-headed Canary-Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Junglefowl				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-whiskered Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greenish Warbler				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Wagtail				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-crested Tit				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Junglefowl				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-and-orange Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Nilgiri Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Plum-headed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Coucal				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Myna				\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									Led by S. Jeevanandan\, participants enjoyed a scenic bird walk around the Deer Park by Ooty Lake\, a picturesque setting combining open parkland with the calm waters of the lake. Set against the cool\, misty backdrop of the Nilgiri hills\, this location offers a lovely blend of habitats that support a diverse mix of birdlife.\nThe combination of lake\, grassy parkland and surrounding hill vegetation typically draws waterfowl\, cormorants and herons to the water’s edge\, while sunbirds\, white-eyes and other hill species can be found among the trees and shrubs nearby. This variety makes the Deer Park an especially rewarding spot for observing both waterbirds and woodland species in one outing. Participants enjoyed the refreshing hill-station atmosphere\, the scenic lake views\, and the chance to appreciate the rich natural diversity that Ooty’s Deer Park and its surrounding lake continue to support throughout the year.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

Located at an elevation of around 2\,200 metres\, Ooty’s landscape is shaped by rolling hills\, shola vegetation\, grasslands\, eucalyptus and other planted trees\, along with gardens and waterbodies. Deer Park provides a mix of open grassy areas\, tree cover and patches of dense vegetation\, creating suitable habitat for a variety of birds. Its relatively quiet surroundings make it an interesting place to explore the birdlife of the Nilgiris while also experiencing the distinctive high-altitude landscape of Ooty.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The combination of woodland\, open spaces and nearby water makes the park useful for observing both forest and wetland-associated birds. The surrounding Nilgiri landscape is particularly important for several high-elevation and montane species\, many of which are closely associated with the Western Ghats. Seasonal changes in temperature\, vegetation and insect activity can influence the bird species encountered around the park. As an urban green space within a heavily visited hill station\, Deer Park also highlights the importance of retaining natural vegetation and minimizing disturbance to wildlife. For birdwatchers\, it offers an accessible opportunity to explore the diverse avifauna of the Nilgiris while enjoying Ooty’s characteristic cool-weather environment.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - S.JeevanandanGuided birdwatching activities by helping participants identify native and endemic bird species while explaining their behavior\, habitats\, and ecological significance.

The surrounding trees and vegetation provide habitat for insectivorous species such as Grey-headed Canary-Flycatcher\, Greenish Warbler\, Black-crested Tit\, Black-and-orange Flycatcher and Nilgiri Flycatcher. The Nilgiri Flycatcher is particularly noteworthy as a species associated with the high-elevation forests and shola-grassland landscape of the Western Ghats. Grey Junglefowl is another attractive species to look for around the wooded sections\, while Red-whiskered Bulbul and Spotted Dove add to the more familiar birdlife.\n\nThe presence of water adds another dimension to birding\, with Indian Spot-billed Duck\, Eurasian Coot\, Cormorant and Indian Pond-Heron using aquatic habitats and their edges. Grey Wagtail can also be found around suitable wet areas and streams. The combination of water\, open spaces and tree cover makes Deer Park a rewarding location for observing different bird groups within a relatively small area.

Jeevanandan\n									\n						\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					About Deer Park				\n				\n				\n				\n									Deer Park in Ooty is a peaceful green space within the Nilgiri hills\, surrounded by the cool montane climate and characteristic vegetation of the region. Located at an elevation of around 2\,200 metres\, Ooty’s landscape is shaped by rolling hills\, shola vegetation\, grasslands\, eucalyptus and other planted trees\, along with gardens and waterbodies. Deer Park provides a mix of open grassy areas\, tree cover and patches of dense vegetation\, creating suitable habitat for a variety of birds. Its relatively quiet surroundings make it an interesting place to explore the birdlife of the Nilgiris while also experiencing the distinctive high-altitude landscape of Ooty.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The combination of woodland\, open spaces and nearby water makes the park useful for observing both forest and wetland-associated birds. The surrounding Nilgiri landscape is particularly important for several high-elevation and montane species\, many of which are closely associated with the Western Ghats. Seasonal changes in temperature\, vegetation and insect activity can influence the bird species encountered around the park. As an urban green space within a heavily visited hill station\, Deer Park also highlights the importance of retaining natural vegetation and minimizing disturbance to wildlife. For birdwatchers\, it offers an accessible opportunity to explore the diverse avifauna of the Nilgiris while enjoying Ooty’s characteristic cool-weather environment.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - S.JeevanandanGuided birdwatching activities by helping participants identify native and endemic bird species while explaining their behavior\, habitats\, and ecological significance. Promoted responsible birdwatching and increased awareness of wildlife conservation through engaging nature interpretation. 				\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					Common birds of Deer Park				\n				\n				\n				\n									Deer Park offers an interesting mix of montane woodland\, open grassland and wetland habitats\, supporting a variety of birds typical of the Nilgiri hills. The surrounding trees and vegetation provide habitat for insectivorous species such as Grey-headed Canary-Flycatcher\, Greenish Warbler\, Black-crested Tit\, Black-and-orange Flycatcher and Nilgiri Flycatcher. The Nilgiri Flycatcher is particularly noteworthy as a species associated with the high-elevation forests and shola-grassland landscape of the Western Ghats. Grey Junglefowl is another attractive species to look for around the wooded sections\, while Red-whiskered Bulbul and Spotted Dove add to the more familiar birdlife.\n\nThe presence of water adds another dimension to birding\, with Indian Spot-billed Duck\, Eurasian Coot\, Cormorant and Indian Pond-Heron using aquatic habitats and their edges. Grey Wagtail can also be found around suitable wet areas and streams. The combination of water\, open spaces and tree cover makes Deer Park a rewarding location for observing different bird groups within a relatively small area. For birdwatchers visiting Ooty\, the park provides an accessible introduction to the distinctive birdlife of the Nilgiris and an opportunity to look for both common species and specialised montane birds.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Coot				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey-headed Canary-Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Junglefowl				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-whiskered Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greenish Warbler				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Wagtail				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-crested Tit				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Junglefowl				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-and-orange Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Nilgiri Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Plum-headed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Coucal				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Myna				\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									Led by S.

Set against the cool\, misty backdrop of the Nilgiri hills\, this location offers a lovely blend of habitats that support a diverse mix of birdlife.\nThe combination of lake\, grassy parkland and surrounding hill vegetation typically draws waterfowl\, cormorants and herons to the water’s edge\, while sunbirds\, white-eyes and other hill species can be found among the trees and shrubs nearby. This variety makes the Deer Park an especially rewarding spot for observing both waterbirds and woodland species in one outing. Participants enjoyed the refreshing hill-station atmosphere\, the scenic lake views\, and the chance to appreciate the rich natural diversity that Ooty’s Deer Park and its surrounding lake continue to support throughout the year.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

Located at an elevation of around 2\,200 metres\, Ooty’s landscape is shaped by rolling hills\, shola vegetation\, grasslands\, eucalyptus and other planted trees\, along with gardens and waterbodies. Deer Park provides a mix of open grassy areas\, tree cover and patches of dense vegetation\, creating suitable habitat for a variety of birds. Its relatively quiet surroundings make it an interesting place to explore the birdlife of the Nilgiris while also experiencing the distinctive high-altitude landscape of Ooty.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The combination of woodland\, open spaces and nearby water makes the park useful for observing both forest and wetland-associated birds. The surrounding Nilgiri landscape is particularly important for several high-elevation and montane species\, many of which are closely associated with the Western Ghats. Seasonal changes in temperature\, vegetation and insect activity can influence the bird species encountered around the park. As an urban green space within a heavily visited hill station\, Deer Park also highlights the importance of retaining natural vegetation and minimizing disturbance to wildlife. For birdwatchers\, it offers an accessible opportunity to explore the diverse avifauna of the Nilgiris while enjoying Ooty’s characteristic cool-weather environment.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - S.JeevanandanGuided birdwatching activities by helping participants identify native and endemic bird species while explaining their behavior\, habitats\, and ecological significance.

The Nilgiri Flycatcher is particularly noteworthy as a species associated with the high-elevation forests and shola-grassland landscape of the Western Ghats. Grey Junglefowl is another attractive species to look for around the wooded sections\, while Red-whiskered Bulbul and Spotted Dove add to the more familiar birdlife.\n\nThe presence of water adds another dimension to birding\, with Indian Spot-billed Duck\, Eurasian Coot\, Cormorant and Indian Pond-Heron using aquatic habitats and their edges.

Located at an elevation of around 2\,200 metres\, Ooty’s landscape is shaped by rolling hills\, shola vegetation\, grasslands\, eucalyptus and other planted trees\, along with gardens and waterbodies. Deer Park provides a mix of open grassy areas\, tree cover and patches of dense vegetation\, creating suitable habitat for a variety of birds. Its relatively quiet surroundings make it an interesting place to explore the birdlife of the Nilgiris while also experiencing the distinctive high-altitude landscape of Ooty.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The combination of woodland\, open spaces and nearby water makes the park useful for observing both forest and wetland-associated birds. The surrounding Nilgiri landscape is particularly important for several high-elevation and montane species\, many of which are closely associated with the Western Ghats. Seasonal changes in temperature\, vegetation and insect activity can influence the bird species encountered around the park. As an urban green space within a heavily visited hill station\, Deer Park also highlights the importance of retaining natural vegetation and minimizing disturbance to wildlife. For birdwatchers\, it offers an accessible opportunity to explore the diverse avifauna of the Nilgiris while enjoying Ooty’s characteristic cool-weather environment.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - S.JeevanandanGuided birdwatching activities by helping participants identify native and endemic bird species while explaining their behavior\, habitats\, and ecological significance. Promoted responsible birdwatching and increased awareness of wildlife conservation through engaging nature interpretation. 				\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					Common birds of Deer Park				\n				\n				\n				\n									Deer Park offers an interesting mix of montane woodland\, open grassland and wetland habitats\, supporting a variety of birds typical of the Nilgiri hills. The surrounding trees and vegetation provide habitat for insectivorous species such as Grey-headed Canary-Flycatcher\, Greenish Warbler\, Black-crested Tit\, Black-and-orange Flycatcher and Nilgiri Flycatcher. The Nilgiri Flycatcher is particularly noteworthy as a species associated with the high-elevation forests and shola-grassland landscape of the Western Ghats. Grey Junglefowl is another attractive species to look for around the wooded sections\, while Red-whiskered Bulbul and Spotted Dove add to the more familiar birdlife.\n\nThe presence of water adds another dimension to birding\, with Indian Spot-billed Duck\, Eurasian Coot\, Cormorant and Indian Pond-Heron using aquatic habitats and their edges. Grey Wagtail can also be found around suitable wet areas and streams. The combination of water\, open spaces and tree cover makes Deer Park a rewarding location for observing different bird groups within a relatively small area. For birdwatchers visiting Ooty\, the park provides an accessible introduction to the distinctive birdlife of the Nilgiris and an opportunity to look for both common species and specialised montane birds.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Coot				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey-headed Canary-Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Junglefowl				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-whiskered Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greenish Warbler				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Wagtail				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-crested Tit				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey Junglefowl				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-and-orange Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Nilgiri Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Plum-headed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Coucal				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Myna				\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									Led by S.

This variety makes the Deer Park an especially rewarding spot for observing both waterbirds and woodland species in one outing. Participants enjoyed the refreshing hill-station atmosphere\, the scenic lake views\, and the chance to appreciate the rich natural diversity that Ooty’s Deer Park and its surrounding lake continue to support throughout the year.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Neura Wetland\, Goa
DESCRIPTION:Bird Walk at Deer Park\, Ooty\, Tamil Nadu				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n							\n							\n											\n													\n										Ooty\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										30 August\, 2026\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										S.

Located at an elevation of around 2\,200 metres\, Ooty’s landscape is shaped by rolling hills\, shola vegetation\, grasslands\, eucalyptus and other planted trees\, along with gardens and waterbodies. Deer Park provides a mix of open grassy areas\, tree cover and patches of dense vegetation\, creating suitable habitat for a variety of birds. Its relatively quiet surroundings make it an interesting place to explore the birdlife of the Nilgiris while also experiencing the distinctive high-altitude landscape of Ooty.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The combination of woodland\, open spaces and nearby water makes the park useful for observing both forest and wetland-associated birds. The surrounding Nilgiri landscape is particularly important for several high-elevation and montane species\, many of which are closely associated with the Western Ghats. Seasonal changes in temperature\, vegetation and insect activity can influence the bird species encountered around the park. As an urban green space within a heavily visited hill station\, Deer Park also highlights the importance of retaining natural vegetation and minimizing disturbance to wildlife. For birdwatchers\, it offers an accessible opportunity to explore the diverse avifauna of the Nilgiris while enjoying Ooty’s characteristic cool-weather environment.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - S.JeevanandanGuided birdwatching activities by helping participants identify native and endemic bird species while explaining their behavior\, habitats\, and ecological significance. Promoted responsible birdwatching and increased awareness of wildlife conservation through engaging nature interpretation. 				\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					Common birds of Deer Park				\n				\n				\n				\n									Deer Park offers an interesting mix of montane woodland\, open grassland and wetland habitats\, supporting a variety of birds typical of the Nilgiri hills. The surrounding trees and vegetation provide habitat for insectivorous species such as Grey-headed Canary-Flycatcher\, Greenish Warbler\, Black-crested Tit\, Black-and-orange Flycatcher and Nilgiri Flycatcher. The Nilgiri Flycatcher is particularly noteworthy as a species associated with the high-elevation forests and shola-grassland landscape of the Western Ghats. Grey Junglefowl is another attractive species to look for around the wooded sections\, while Red-whiskered Bulbul and Spotted Dove add to the more familiar birdlife.\n\nThe presence of water adds another dimension to birding\, with Indian Spot-billed Duck\, Eurasian Coot\, Cormorant and Indian Pond-Heron using aquatic habitats and their edges. Grey Wagtail can also be found around suitable wet areas and streams. The combination of water\, open spaces and tree cover makes Deer Park a rewarding location for observing different bird groups within a relatively small area.
