SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Muga Sumoni Bhoga Kaboru Gaon\, Assam
DESCRIPTION:Bird walk at Chintaamani Kar Bird Sanctuary\, Kolkata				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n							\n											\n													\n										Kolkata\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										23 November\, 2025\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										Nibedita Chakraborty\n									\n						\n						\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					About Chintaamani Kar Bird Sanctuary				\n				\n				\n				\n									Chintamani Kar Bird Sanctuary\, located in the southern part of Kolkata near Narendrapur\, is a lush green oasis spread over approximately 17 acres. Once a private orchard\, it was declared a bird sanctuary to protect its rich biodiversity and provide refuge to urban wildlife. The sanctuary comprises dense tropical moist deciduous forest interspersed with fruit-bearing and flowering trees such as mango\, jackfruit\, banyan\, fig\, and bamboo\, creating an ideal habitat for birds\, butterflies\, and small mammals. Its dense canopy and layered vegetation make it one of the few remaining green lungs in the rapidly urbanizing Kolkata metropolitan area.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The sanctuary is a haven for birdwatchers\, with over 194 bird species recorded\, including Common Hawk-Cuckoo\, Black-hooded Oriole\, Copper-smith Barbet\, Brown Fish Owl\, Paradise Flycatcher\, and White-throated Kingfisher. Seasonal visitors such as warblers and flycatchers add to its avian richness. However\, being surrounded by urban settlements\, the sanctuary faces threats like encroachment\, noise pollution\, and waste disposal from nearby areas. Conservation efforts focus on maintaining its natural vegetation\, enhancing habitat quality\, and promoting eco-awareness among visitors. The sanctuary stands as a living classroom for biodiversity education and a serene refuge for both wildlife and nature enthusiasts in the heart of the city.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Nibedita ChakrabortyA passionate bird enthusiast and\nresearcher\, worked extensively on\navifaunal communities of East Kolkata\nWetlands.

Among its common species are the Spotted Dove\, Asian Emerald Dove\, and Yellow-footed Green Pigeon\, which thrive in the dense tree canopy and fruiting groves. The sanctuary’s moist understory and shaded paths are frequented by Greater Coucal\, White-breasted Waterhen\, and Little Cormorant\, while open patches and water bodies attract raptors like the Black Kite. The sanctuary’s diverse vegetation supports a variety of kingfishers\, including the striking Stork-billed Kingfisher and the widely seen White-throated Kingfisher\, both of which rely on the small ponds and streams for feeding.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Woodland areas echo with the rhythmic calls and drumming of Lineated Barbet\, Blue-throated Barbet\, Fulvous-breasted Woodpecker\, and Black-rumped Flameback\, all of which play vital roles in maintaining the forest’s ecological balance. Flocks of Rose-ringed Parakeets add a splash of color and sound\, while smaller birds like Common Tailorbird\, Jungle Babbler\, and Oriental Magpie-Robin are often seen darting through the undergrowth. The Red-vented Bulbul and Common Myna are abundant across the sanctuary\, adapting well to its mix of natural and semi-urban landscapes. Together\, these species showcase the sanctuary’s rich avifaunal diversity and its importance as a refuge for birdlife amidst Kolkata’s expanding urban sprawl.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Spotted Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Koel				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Crow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Tailorbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					 Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Sparrow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Kite				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Coucal				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Moorhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorany				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-rumped Flameback				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey-headed Swamphen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Magpie Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Jungle Babbler				\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									At Chintaamani Kar Bird Sanctuary\, 10 participants joined for a delightful and peaceful morning of birding led by Nibedita. The group recorded around 25 species including black-hooded oriole\, brahminy starling\, white-throated fantail\, verditer flycatcher\, all set against the lush greenery of one of Kolkata’s most beloved nature pockets. The sanctuary’s serene pathways made the sighting experience both slow-paced and enriching.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Everyone enjoyed the experience of reconnecting with nature\, coming closer by observing birds and getting to know their world\, observing their behavior and spotting interesting migratory birds. Each moment spent watching these species helped participants appreciate the harmony of forest life and the importance of preserving such biodiverse habitats within city limits.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

Its dense canopy and layered vegetation make it one of the few remaining green lungs in the rapidly urbanizing Kolkata metropolitan area.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The sanctuary is a haven for birdwatchers\, with over 194 bird species recorded\, including Common Hawk-Cuckoo\, Black-hooded Oriole\, Copper-smith Barbet\, Brown Fish Owl\, Paradise Flycatcher\, and White-throated Kingfisher. Seasonal visitors such as warblers and flycatchers add to its avian richness. However\, being surrounded by urban settlements\, the sanctuary faces threats like encroachment\, noise pollution\, and waste disposal from nearby areas.

The sanctuary comprises dense tropical moist deciduous forest interspersed with fruit-bearing and flowering trees such as mango\, jackfruit\, banyan\, fig\, and bamboo\, creating an ideal habitat for birds\, butterflies\, and small mammals. Its dense canopy and layered vegetation make it one of the few remaining green lungs in the rapidly urbanizing Kolkata metropolitan area.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The sanctuary is a haven for birdwatchers\, with over 194 bird species recorded\, including Common Hawk-Cuckoo\, Black-hooded Oriole\, Copper-smith Barbet\, Brown Fish Owl\, Paradise Flycatcher\, and White-throated Kingfisher. Seasonal visitors such as warblers and flycatchers add to its avian richness. However\, being surrounded by urban settlements\, the sanctuary faces threats like encroachment\, noise pollution\, and waste disposal from nearby areas. Conservation efforts focus on maintaining its natural vegetation\, enhancing habitat quality\, and promoting eco-awareness among visitors.

The sanctuary comprises dense tropical moist deciduous forest interspersed with fruit-bearing and flowering trees such as mango\, jackfruit\, banyan\, fig\, and bamboo\, creating an ideal habitat for birds\, butterflies\, and small mammals. Its dense canopy and layered vegetation make it one of the few remaining green lungs in the rapidly urbanizing Kolkata metropolitan area.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The sanctuary is a haven for birdwatchers\, with over 194 bird species recorded\, including Common Hawk-Cuckoo\, Black-hooded Oriole\, Copper-smith Barbet\, Brown Fish Owl\, Paradise Flycatcher\, and White-throated Kingfisher. Seasonal visitors such as warblers and flycatchers add to its avian richness. However\, being surrounded by urban settlements\, the sanctuary faces threats like encroachment\, noise pollution\, and waste disposal from nearby areas. Conservation efforts focus on maintaining its natural vegetation\, enhancing habitat quality\, and promoting eco-awareness among visitors.

Once a private orchard\, it was declared a bird sanctuary to protect its rich biodiversity and provide refuge to urban wildlife. The sanctuary comprises dense tropical moist deciduous forest interspersed with fruit-bearing and flowering trees such as mango\, jackfruit\, banyan\, fig\, and bamboo\, creating an ideal habitat for birds\, butterflies\, and small mammals. Its dense canopy and layered vegetation make it one of the few remaining green lungs in the rapidly urbanizing Kolkata metropolitan area.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The sanctuary is a haven for birdwatchers\, with over 194 bird species recorded\, including Common Hawk-Cuckoo\, Black-hooded Oriole\, Copper-smith Barbet\, Brown Fish Owl\, Paradise Flycatcher\, and White-throated Kingfisher. Seasonal visitors such as warblers and flycatchers add to its avian richness. However\, being surrounded by urban settlements\, the sanctuary faces threats like encroachment\, noise pollution\, and waste disposal from nearby areas. Conservation efforts focus on maintaining its natural vegetation\, enhancing habitat quality\, and promoting eco-awareness among visitors. The sanctuary stands as a living classroom for biodiversity education and a serene refuge for both wildlife and nature enthusiasts in the heart of the city.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Nibedita ChakrabortyA passionate bird enthusiast and\nresearcher\, worked extensively on\navifaunal communities of East Kolkata\nWetlands.

Among its common species are the Spotted Dove\, Asian Emerald Dove\, and Yellow-footed Green Pigeon\, which thrive in the dense tree canopy and fruiting groves. The sanctuary’s moist understory and shaded paths are frequented by Greater Coucal\, White-breasted Waterhen\, and Little Cormorant\, while open patches and water bodies attract raptors like the Black Kite. The sanctuary’s diverse vegetation supports a variety of kingfishers\, including the striking Stork-billed Kingfisher and the widely seen White-throated Kingfisher\, both of which rely on the small ponds and streams for feeding.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Woodland areas echo with the rhythmic calls and drumming of Lineated Barbet\, Blue-throated Barbet\, Fulvous-breasted Woodpecker\, and Black-rumped Flameback\, all of which play vital roles in maintaining the forest’s ecological balance. Flocks of Rose-ringed Parakeets add a splash of color and sound\, while smaller birds like Common Tailorbird\, Jungle Babbler\, and Oriental Magpie-Robin are often seen darting through the undergrowth. The Red-vented Bulbul and Common Myna are abundant across the sanctuary\, adapting well to its mix of natural and semi-urban landscapes.

The sanctuary comprises dense tropical moist deciduous forest interspersed with fruit-bearing and flowering trees such as mango\, jackfruit\, banyan\, fig\, and bamboo\, creating an ideal habitat for birds\, butterflies\, and small mammals. Its dense canopy and layered vegetation make it one of the few remaining green lungs in the rapidly urbanizing Kolkata metropolitan area.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The sanctuary is a haven for birdwatchers\, with over 194 bird species recorded\, including Common Hawk-Cuckoo\, Black-hooded Oriole\, Copper-smith Barbet\, Brown Fish Owl\, Paradise Flycatcher\, and White-throated Kingfisher. Seasonal visitors such as warblers and flycatchers add to its avian richness. However\, being surrounded by urban settlements\, the sanctuary faces threats like encroachment\, noise pollution\, and waste disposal from nearby areas. Conservation efforts focus on maintaining its natural vegetation\, enhancing habitat quality\, and promoting eco-awareness among visitors. The sanctuary stands as a living classroom for biodiversity education and a serene refuge for both wildlife and nature enthusiasts in the heart of the city.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Nibedita ChakrabortyA passionate bird enthusiast and\nresearcher\, worked extensively on\navifaunal communities of East Kolkata\nWetlands.

Among its common species are the Spotted Dove\, Asian Emerald Dove\, and Yellow-footed Green Pigeon\, which thrive in the dense tree canopy and fruiting groves. The sanctuary’s moist understory and shaded paths are frequented by Greater Coucal\, White-breasted Waterhen\, and Little Cormorant\, while open patches and water bodies attract raptors like the Black Kite. The sanctuary’s diverse vegetation supports a variety of kingfishers\, including the striking Stork-billed Kingfisher and the widely seen White-throated Kingfisher\, both of which rely on the small ponds and streams for feeding.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Woodland areas echo with the rhythmic calls and drumming of Lineated Barbet\, Blue-throated Barbet\, Fulvous-breasted Woodpecker\, and Black-rumped Flameback\, all of which play vital roles in maintaining the forest’s ecological balance. Flocks of Rose-ringed Parakeets add a splash of color and sound\, while smaller birds like Common Tailorbird\, Jungle Babbler\, and Oriental Magpie-Robin are often seen darting through the undergrowth. The Red-vented Bulbul and Common Myna are abundant across the sanctuary\, adapting well to its mix of natural and semi-urban landscapes.
