Iconic species such as Bar-headed Geese\, Northern Shovelers\, Eurasian Spoonbills\, Painted Storks\, and Lapwings are commonly seen\, alongside residents like Kingfishers\, Herons\, Drongos\, and Bulbuls.

Participants shared personal birding stories as part of an icebreaker\, creating a warm and engaging atmosphere. The group recorded an impressive 58 species\, including a rare sighting of a Common Pochard for the season. \n \n \n \n A particularly memorable moment was observing juvenile Painted Storks begging for food from adults\, offering insight into bird behaviour. Participants also learned about species like the Common Hawk-Cuckoo and its identity. The walk blended storytelling\, learning\, and observation\, making it a rewarding experience. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Number of Participants \n \n 0 URL:https://ataavi.org/event/bird-walk-at-pashan-lake-pune-maharashtra-3/ CATEGORIES:Birding Bharat ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://ataavi.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/DSC04869.webp END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
