Though compact in size\, the park feels like a green amphitheatre—dry deciduous woodland\, rocky slopes\, quiet grass patches\, and lakefront marshes all folding into one another. Visitors wandering its cycling paths often feel the city fall away behind them\, replaced by spotted deer grazing in the shade\, wild boar rustling through leaf litter\, and raptors circling lazily above the lake’s silver skin. Its unique model—part zoo\, part free-ranging wildlife sanctuary—creates a landscape where rescued animals find safe refuge and wild species move freely across the terrain. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									For nature lovers and birdwatchers\, Van Vihar is a dependable haven. The lake’s edge draws herons\, cormorants\, storks\, and winter ducks\, while the forest hosts barbets\, parakeets\, drongos\, peafowl\, and a chorus of woodland songbirds. Morning walkers often witness the slow unfurling of the park’s rhythm—the sun easing over the hills\, langurs leaping between branches\, and the air turning alive with calls from tree and water alike. As Bhopal expands\, Van Vihar remains a breathing space for both wildlife and people\, reminding the city that its most treasured calm still comes from these protected pockets of green.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Priyanshu RajAn avid birder and naturalist. His aim is to connect people to nature through bird watching. Loves to share knowledge and spread awareness about wildlife.  				\n				\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					Common birds of Van Vihar National Park				\n				\n				\n				\n									With 264 species recorded\, Van Vihar National Park offers a dazzling blend of lake-loving birds\, woodland regulars\, and open-country specialists. Along the water’s edge\, watchers frequently spot Black-winged Stilts\, Bronze-winged Jacanas\, Purple Swamphens\, White-breasted Waterhens\, Moorhens\, Spot-billed Ducks\, and an elegant lineup of herons and egrets—from Pond Heron to Grey Heron\, Black-crowned Night Heron\, Little Egret\, and Great Egret. The tree-lined paths stay lively with Purple Sunbirds\, Coppersmith Barbets\, Rose-ringed Parakeets\, Common Ioras\, Cinerous Tits\, Jungle Babblers\, White-browed Fantails\, and the yellow flare of the Golden Oriole. Open patches draw Green Bee-eaters\, Indian Robins\, Oriental Magpie Robins\, Ashy and Plain Prinias\, while raptors like the Shikra keep a quiet watch overhead. Add in Indian Peafowl\, Woolly-necked Storks\, Red-vented Bulbuls\, Spotted Doves\, Large-billed Crows\, Baya Weavers\, and two striking kingfishers—the White-throated and Common—and Van Vihar becomes a richly layered theatre of birdlife all year round.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Asian Openbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-headed Ibis				\n				\n				\n				\n					Baya Weaver				\n				\n				\n				\n					Yellow-footed Green Pigeon				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					House Crow				\n				\n				\n				\n					Ashy Prinia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Openbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					Lesser Whistling Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Paddyfield Pipit				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Magpie Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey-headed Swamphen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Grey-backed Shrike				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Golden Oriole				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Collared Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Pheasant-tailed Jacana				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\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									The bird walk at Van Vihar National Park in Bhopal was led by bird expert Priyanshu and attended by five participants. Over the course of the morning\, the group recorded 33 species\, including Hume’s Warbler\, Indian Gray Hornbill\, Gray Francolin\, Purple Sunbird\, and Greater Coucal. The walk offered participants a wonderful opportunity to explore the park’s diverse habitats and observe birds in both woodland and open areas. Throughout the session\, Priyanshu guided participants on how to carefully observe birds\, identify them using field marks\, and listen closely to their calls. He also demonstrated the correct use of binoculars and shared interesting stories about bird behavior and ecology\, making the experience both educational and engaging for everyone involved. 								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

Though compact in size\, the park feels like a green amphitheatre—dry deciduous woodland\, rocky slopes\, quiet grass patches\, and lakefront marshes all folding into one another. Visitors wandering its cycling paths often feel the city fall away behind them\, replaced by spotted deer grazing in the shade\, wild boar rustling through leaf litter\, and raptors circling lazily above the lake’s silver skin. Its unique model—part zoo\, part free-ranging wildlife sanctuary—creates a landscape where rescued animals find safe refuge and wild species move freely across the terrain. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									For nature lovers and birdwatchers\, Van Vihar is a dependable haven. The lake’s edge draws herons\, cormorants\, storks\, and winter ducks\, while the forest hosts barbets\, parakeets\, drongos\, peafowl\, and a chorus of woodland songbirds. Morning walkers often witness the slow unfurling of the park’s rhythm—the sun easing over the hills\, langurs leaping between branches\, and the air turning alive with calls from tree and water alike. As Bhopal expands\, Van Vihar remains a breathing space for both wildlife and people\, reminding the city that its most treasured calm still comes from these protected pockets of green.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Priyanshu RajAn avid birder and naturalist.

The tree-lined paths stay lively with Purple Sunbirds\, Coppersmith Barbets\, Rose-ringed Parakeets\, Common Ioras\, Cinerous Tits\, Jungle Babblers\, White-browed Fantails\, and the yellow flare of the Golden Oriole. Open patches draw Green Bee-eaters\, Indian Robins\, Oriental Magpie Robins\, Ashy and Plain Prinias\, while raptors like the Shikra keep a quiet watch overhead.

Though compact in size\, the park feels like a green amphitheatre—dry deciduous woodland\, rocky slopes\, quiet grass patches\, and lakefront marshes all folding into one another. Visitors wandering its cycling paths often feel the city fall away behind them\, replaced by spotted deer grazing in the shade\, wild boar rustling through leaf litter\, and raptors circling lazily above the lake’s silver skin. Its unique model—part zoo\, part free-ranging wildlife sanctuary—creates a landscape where rescued animals find safe refuge and wild species move freely across the terrain. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									For nature lovers and birdwatchers\, Van Vihar is a dependable haven. The lake’s edge draws herons\, cormorants\, storks\, and winter ducks\, while the forest hosts barbets\, parakeets\, drongos\, peafowl\, and a chorus of woodland songbirds. Morning walkers often witness the slow unfurling of the park’s rhythm—the sun easing over the hills\, langurs leaping between branches\, and the air turning alive with calls from tree and water alike. As Bhopal expands\, Van Vihar remains a breathing space for both wildlife and people\, reminding the city that its most treasured calm still comes from these protected pockets of green.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Priyanshu RajAn avid birder and naturalist.

Though compact in size\, the park feels like a green amphitheatre—dry deciduous woodland\, rocky slopes\, quiet grass patches\, and lakefront marshes all folding into one another. Visitors wandering its cycling paths often feel the city fall away behind them\, replaced by spotted deer grazing in the shade\, wild boar rustling through leaf litter\, and raptors circling lazily above the lake’s silver skin. Its unique model—part zoo\, part free-ranging wildlife sanctuary—creates a landscape where rescued animals find safe refuge and wild species move freely across the terrain. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									For nature lovers and birdwatchers\, Van Vihar is a dependable haven. The lake’s edge draws herons\, cormorants\, storks\, and winter ducks\, while the forest hosts barbets\, parakeets\, drongos\, peafowl\, and a chorus of woodland songbirds. Morning walkers often witness the slow unfurling of the park’s rhythm—the sun easing over the hills\, langurs leaping between branches\, and the air turning alive with calls from tree and water alike.

Though compact in size\, the park feels like a green amphitheatre—dry deciduous woodland\, rocky slopes\, quiet grass patches\, and lakefront marshes all folding into one another. Visitors wandering its cycling paths often feel the city fall away behind them\, replaced by spotted deer grazing in the shade\, wild boar rustling through leaf litter\, and raptors circling lazily above the lake’s silver skin. Its unique model—part zoo\, part free-ranging wildlife sanctuary—creates a landscape where rescued animals find safe refuge and wild species move freely across the terrain. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									For nature lovers and birdwatchers\, Van Vihar is a dependable haven. The lake’s edge draws herons\, cormorants\, storks\, and winter ducks\, while the forest hosts barbets\, parakeets\, drongos\, peafowl\, and a chorus of woodland songbirds. Morning walkers often witness the slow unfurling of the park’s rhythm—the sun easing over the hills\, langurs leaping between branches\, and the air turning alive with calls from tree and water alike. As Bhopal expands\, Van Vihar remains a breathing space for both wildlife and people\, reminding the city that its most treasured calm still comes from these protected pockets of green.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Priyanshu RajAn avid birder and naturalist.

The tree-lined paths stay lively with Purple Sunbirds\, Coppersmith Barbets\, Rose-ringed Parakeets\, Common Ioras\, Cinerous Tits\, Jungle Babblers\, White-browed Fantails\, and the yellow flare of the Golden Oriole.

Though compact in size\, the park feels like a green amphitheatre—dry deciduous woodland\, rocky slopes\, quiet grass patches\, and lakefront marshes all folding into one another. Visitors wandering its cycling paths often feel the city fall away behind them\, replaced by spotted deer grazing in the shade\, wild boar rustling through leaf litter\, and raptors circling lazily above the lake’s silver skin. Its unique model—part zoo\, part free-ranging wildlife sanctuary—creates a landscape where rescued animals find safe refuge and wild species move freely across the terrain. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									For nature lovers and birdwatchers\, Van Vihar is a dependable haven. The lake’s edge draws herons\, cormorants\, storks\, and winter ducks\, while the forest hosts barbets\, parakeets\, drongos\, peafowl\, and a chorus of woodland songbirds. Morning walkers often witness the slow unfurling of the park’s rhythm—the sun easing over the hills\, langurs leaping between branches\, and the air turning alive with calls from tree and water alike. As Bhopal expands\, Van Vihar remains a breathing space for both wildlife and people\, reminding the city that its most treasured calm still comes from these protected pockets of green.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Priyanshu RajAn avid birder and naturalist.

SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Chidiyatapu Biological Park\, Andaman and Nicobar Islands
DESCRIPTION:Bird walk at Van Vihar National Park\, Bhopal\, MP				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n							\n											\n													\n										Bhopal\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										28 February\, 2026\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										Priyanshu Raj\n									\n						\n						\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					About Van Vihar National Park				\n				\n				\n				\n									Van Vihar National Park in Bhopal stretches along the shimmering edge of Upper Lake\, where forested hills roll gently into water and city noise dissolves into birdsong. Though compact in size\, the park feels like a green amphitheatre—dry deciduous woodland\, rocky slopes\, quiet grass patches\, and lakefront marshes all folding into one another. Visitors wandering its cycling paths often feel the city fall away behind them\, replaced by spotted deer grazing in the shade\, wild boar rustling through leaf litter\, and raptors circling lazily above the lake’s silver skin. Its unique model—part zoo\, part free-ranging wildlife sanctuary—creates a landscape where rescued animals find safe refuge and wild species move freely across the terrain. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									For nature lovers and birdwatchers\, Van Vihar is a dependable haven. The lake’s edge draws herons\, cormorants\, storks\, and winter ducks\, while the forest hosts barbets\, parakeets\, drongos\, peafowl\, and a chorus of woodland songbirds. Morning walkers often witness the slow unfurling of the park’s rhythm—the sun easing over the hills\, langurs leaping between branches\, and the air turning alive with calls from tree and water alike. As Bhopal expands\, Van Vihar remains a breathing space for both wildlife and people\, reminding the city that its most treasured calm still comes from these protected pockets of green.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Priyanshu RajAn avid birder and naturalist.

Along the water’s edge\, watchers frequently spot Black-winged Stilts\, Bronze-winged Jacanas\, Purple Swamphens\, White-breasted Waterhens\, Moorhens\, Spot-billed Ducks\, and an elegant lineup of herons and egrets—from Pond Heron to Grey Heron\, Black-crowned Night Heron\, Little Egret\, and Great Egret. The tree-lined paths stay lively with Purple Sunbirds\, Coppersmith Barbets\, Rose-ringed Parakeets\, Common Ioras\, Cinerous Tits\, Jungle Babblers\, White-browed Fantails\, and the yellow flare of the Golden Oriole. Open patches draw Green Bee-eaters\, Indian Robins\, Oriental Magpie Robins\, Ashy and Plain Prinias\, while raptors like the Shikra keep a quiet watch overhead.
