Spread over roughly 30 acres\, this sanctuary is centered around a perennial freshwater lake that serves as a vital habitat for a variety of resident and migratory bird species. Its proximity to agricultural fields and semi-forested landscapes enhances its ecological value\, creating a mosaic of habitats that support diverse flora and fauna. Despite its modest size\, the sanctuary plays an important role as a refuge for birds\, especially during the winter months when migratory species arrive from Central Asia and beyond. \n \n \n \n The avifaunal diversity of Barwala Bird Sanctuary is impressive for its scale\, with sightings of species such as northern shovelers\, pintails\, common teals\, egrets\, herons\, and cormorants. It also attracts waders and occasional raptors\, making it a rewarding site for birdwatchers and researchers alike. The wetland ecosystem supports not just birds but also amphibians\, fish\, and aquatic vegetation\, contributing to a balanced and productive habitat. Seasonal variations in water levels and vegetation further influence species composition\, highlighting the dynamic nature of this small yet vibrant sanctuary. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bird Guide: Gaurav SinghGaurav Singh is an IT professional and passionate bird expert who actively explores and documents avian diversity as a dedicated hobbyist birder. Combining his technical background with a deep interest in nature\, he contributes to birding communities through observations\, learning\, and outreach. \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 \n \n Common birds of Sunder Nursery \n \n \n \n Barwala Bird Sanctuary supports a rich assemblage of common bird species that reflect its diverse mix of wetland\, scrub\, and woodland habitats. Frequently observed birds include ground-dwellers like the Indian Peafowl and Gray Francolin\, along with urban adapters such as Rock Pigeon and House Sparrow. Open areas and water edges host species like Red-wattled Lapwing and wagtails\, while trees and forest patches are home to Indian Gray Hornbill\, bulbuls\, barbets\, and woodpeckers. The sanctuary also supports a healthy presence of insectivores such as drongos\, prinias\, flycatchers\, and warblers\, alongside frugivores like parakeets and orioles. Raptors including Crested Serpent-Eagle\, Eurasian Kestrel\, Shikra\, and vultures indicate a functioning food web\, while wetland-associated birds like White-breasted Waterhen and Green Sandpiper highlight its aquatic importance. This blend of resident and migratory species makes Barwala a dynamic birding site throughout the year. \n \n \n \n \n Ashy Prinia \n \n \n \n Red-vented Bulbul \n \n \n \n Oriental Magpie Robin \n \n \n \n Brown-headed Barbet \n \n \n \n Indian Peafowl \n \n \n \n Asian Pied Starling \n \n \n \n Coppersmith Barbet \n \n \n \n Black Drongo \n \n \n \n Spot-billed Duck \n \n \n \n Rose-ringed Parakeet \n \n \n \n White-throated Kingfisher \n \n \n \n Common Myna \n \n \n \n Eastern Cattle Egret \n \n \n \n Indian Grey Hornbill \n \n \n \n Purple Sunbird \n \n \n \n Black Kite \n \n \n \n Eurasian Moorhen \n \n \n \n Indian Pond Heron \n \n \n \n Red-wattled Lapwing \n \n \n \n Asian Koel \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 This walk through a mixed woodland habitat recorded a variety of common yet significant species\, including Grey Hornbill\, Shikra\, Small Minivet\, Brown-headed Barbet\, and White-throated Kingfisher.

Spread over roughly 30 acres\, this sanctuary is centered around a perennial freshwater lake that serves as a vital habitat for a variety of resident and migratory bird species. Its proximity to agricultural fields and semi-forested landscapes enhances its ecological value\, creating a mosaic of habitats that support diverse flora and fauna. Despite its modest size\, the sanctuary plays an important role as a refuge for birds\, especially during the winter months when migratory species arrive from Central Asia and beyond. \n \n \n \n The avifaunal diversity of Barwala Bird Sanctuary is impressive for its scale\, with sightings of species such as northern shovelers\, pintails\, common teals\, egrets\, herons\, and cormorants. It also attracts waders and occasional raptors\, making it a rewarding site for birdwatchers and researchers alike. The wetland ecosystem supports not just birds but also amphibians\, fish\, and aquatic vegetation\, contributing to a balanced and productive habitat. Seasonal variations in water levels and vegetation further influence species composition\, highlighting the dynamic nature of this small yet vibrant sanctuary. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bird Guide: Gaurav SinghGaurav Singh is an IT professional and passionate bird expert who actively explores and documents avian diversity as a dedicated hobbyist birder.
