BIRD WATCHING/ PHOTOGRAPHY IN INDIA
India is a bird watcher’s paradise, particularly in bird sanctuaries
where the critical habitat has been preserved. Winter is generally
the best time for birding, as many places receive migratory birds
that are attracted by the warmer weather of India’s subtropical cli-
mate. In order to maximize bird sightings, go very early in the morn-
ing and/or around sunset.
There are many birding hotspots in India, in this PDF we will be
discussing but a few which are easily accessible. Apart from the
bird sanctuaries, most of the wild life sanctuaries too are replete
with many species of birds. In total about 1200 species of birds
have been sighted in India including the migratory ones.
