The wetland is surrounded by agricultural land\, grass patches\, and tree groves which create a mix of habitats for wildlife. Shallow waters\, floating vegetation\, and marshy edges provide ideal conditions for aquatic life. \n \n \n \n Bird species commonly found here include jacanas\, herons\, whistling ducks\, kingfishers\, wagtails\, and many seasonal migrants. In recent years it has become a promising birdwatching spot for residents of Indore. However\, threats include waste dumping\, plastic pollution\, reclamation of wetland edges\, and unregulated visitor activities. Conservation efforts must focus on safeguarding the natural wetland structure and controlling pollution. \n \n \n \n \n Bird Guide: Yogendra kumar mimrot Basically I am a snake researcher from indore \, currently pursuing bsc and during my studies I have been studying birds as many of them feed on snakes and other macrofauna. \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 Lotus Valley \n \n \n \n Lotus Valley in Indore supports a vibrant mix of wetland and dryland birds\, making it a rewarding spot for both winter migrants and resident species. The wetlands attract ducks such as Northern Pintail and Green winged Teal\, along with Little Cormorant\, Asian Woolly necked Stork\, Little Ringed Plover\, Pond Heron\, and the ever active Pied Kingfisher. Surrounding scrub and farmland areas host Red vented Bulbul\, Gray Francolin\, Red collared Dove\, Laughing Dove\, Spotted Dove\, Greater Coucal\, Black Drongo\, and Ashy crowned Sparrow Lark. The tree lined patches around the valley support Plum headed Parakeet\, Gray Hornbill\, White throated Kingfisher\, Black Kite\, and the agile Shikra patrolling the skies.

The early morning conditions included heavy dew and strong opposite light\, due to which many birds remained concealed in vegetation. Sightings of common perching birds and waders were limited initially\, while ducks\, raptors\, and storks were frequently observed in flight. \n \n \n \n Participants were highly curious and engaged\, and the walk yielded several rare and exciting sightings. These included the Greater Spotted Eagle\, Canary Grey-headed Flycatcher\, Tickell’s Blue Flycatcher\, Asian Paradise Flycatcher\, and a pair of Sarus Cranes feeding in shallow waters. Alongside birding\, the leader also created awareness about snakes and other urban wildlife\, highlighting how habitat destruction and increasing urban demands are posing serious threats to biodiversity. The walk successfully blended birdwatching with conservation education\, leaving participants with a deeper appreciation of urban wildlife. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Number of Participants \n \n 0 URL:https://ataavi.org/event/bird-walk-at-suketri-chandigarh/ CATEGORIES:Birding Bharat ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://ataavi.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/SAVE_20251116_101605-scaled.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20251116T060000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20251116T080000 DTSTAMP:20260827T011931 CREATED:20251027T092535Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251119T063423Z UID:6036-1763272800-1763280000@ataavi.org SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Timbi Lake\, Vadodara\, Gujarat DESCRIPTION:Bird Walk at Lotus Valley\, Indore (MP) \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Indore\n \n \n \n \n 14 December\, 2025\n \n \n \n \n Yogendra Kumar Mimrot\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About Lotus Valley \n \n \n \n Lotus Valley in Indore is a scenic wetland area named after the profusion of lotus plants that bloom across its waters during certain seasons.
