The dam is popular among walkers\, birdwatchers\, and nature lovers who come here for quiet mornings and scenic sunsets over the water. Its calm surroundings and gentle breeze make it a favored spot for picnics\, photography\, and slow-paced moments by the lakeside. During winter\, the water levels and migratory season add to the dam’s beauty\, attracting more visitors who enjoy its soothing natural ambiance and open skies. \n \n \n \n The habitats around Kaliyasot Reservoir\, including wetlands\, grasslands\, and scattered trees\, support a rich diversity of wildlife. Cyclists and joggers often use the trails nearby\, and local residents visit regularly for fresh air and relaxation. Efforts to maintain the natural charm and keep the area clean are crucial\, as it serves not only as a recreational destination but also as an ecological resource for Bhopal. With its blend of tranquility and biodiversity\, Kaliyasot Reservoir stands as a reminder of how urban spaces can coexist harmoniously with nature when nurtured and appreciated. \n \n \n \n \n Bird Guide: Ankit MalviyaHe is a naturalist\, bird guide\, wildlife photographer from Bhopal. Birding since last 7 years and loves to share exciting bird stories and knowledge with everyone. \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 Kaliyasot Reservoir \n \n \n \n Kaliyasot Reservoir is home to a wonderful blend of wetland and woodland birds\, offering birdwatchers an exciting variety throughout the year. Along the water’s edge\, Indian Pond Herons\, Little Egrets\, Cattle Egrets\, and Little Cormorants are regular sights\, while Spot-billed Ducks paddle across the calm surface. The tall grasses and reeds host warblers such as Green Warblers\, Hume’s Warblers\, and Common Reed Warblers\, all flitting restlessly as they forage. The presence of Asian Open-bill Storks and occasional vocal Sarus Cranes highlights the wetland’s importance as a feeding and roosting site for larger waders and seasonal visitors. Red-wattled Lapwings patrol the shoreline\, often calling loudly as they defend their territory. \n \n \n \n In the wooded patches and scrublands around the dam\, an equally rich diversity thrives. Jungle Babblers chatter in groups\, Red-vented Bulbuls call from bushes\, and Oriental Magpie-Robins and Indian Robins brighten the trails with their songs. Insect hunters like White-throated Kingfishers\, Green Bee-eaters\, Wire-tailed Swallows\, and Indian White-eyes bring movement and colour to open spaces. Raptors such as Black Kites\, Black-shouldered Kites\, and occasionally soaring cuckoos like Pied and Indian Cuckoos add excitement for keen observers. Seasonal species like Eurasian Wryneck and the brilliant Indian Golden Oriole make birding here even more rewarding. Together\, these species make Kaliyasot Reservoir a vibrant hotspot and a cherished site for nature lovers and bird enthusiasts in Bhopal. \n \n \n \n \n White-throated Kingfisher \n \n \n \n Little Egret \n \n \n \n Red-wattled Lapwing \n \n \n \n Paddyfield Pipit \n \n \n \n White-breasted Waterhen \n \n \n \n Black-winged Stilt \n \n \n \n Eastern Cattle Egret \n \n \n \n Common Woodshrike \n \n \n \n Indian Pied Starling \n \n \n \n Little Cormorant \n \n \n \n Red-vented Bulbul \n \n \n \n Indian Spot-billed Duck \n \n \n \n Grey-headed Swamphen \n \n \n \n River Tern \n \n \n \n Common Iora \n \n \n \n Spotted Dove \n \n \n \n Black Kite \n \n \n \n Great Egret \n \n \n \n Oriental Magpie Robin \n \n \n \n Black Drongo \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 Kaliyasot Dam\, led by Ankit Malviya\, brought together 19 enthusiastic participants for an immersive two-hour exploration of its rich mosaic of wetland\, riverine\, grassland\, and plantation habitats. The diverse landscape supported an impressive checklist of 31 bird species\, offering excellent opportunities to observe both waterbirds and grassland specialists. Participants enjoyed learning essential bird identification skills\, along with fascinating insights into nesting patterns\, migration\, and bird behavior\, making the walk both educational and engaging for beginners and seasoned nature lovers alike. \n \n \n \n The wetland was alive with activity\, featuring elegant species such as River Terns gliding over the water\, Black-winged Stilts wading through the shallows\, and the graceful Pheasant-tailed Jacana walking across floating vegetation. Storks and waterfowl\, including Asian Openbills\, Woolly-necked Storks\, Ruddy Shelducks\, and Lesser Whistling Ducks\, added to the spectacle\, while wagtails\, pipits\, and larks animated the grasslands. A special highlight was the sight of a Painted Stork in flight\, leaving participants with a deeper appreciation for the incredible birdlife that thrives at Kaliyasot Dam and the importance of protecting such vital natural habitats. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Number of Participants \n \n 0 URL:https://a49c1ad5-1c87-489e-836b-4369b3396010.ataavi.org/event/bird-walk-at-indira-gandhi-rashtriya-manav-sangrahalaya-bhopal-mp/ CATEGORIES:Birding Bharat ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://a49c1ad5-1c87-489e-836b-4369b3396010.ataavi.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG_20260201_090912.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20260201T070000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20260201T090000 DTSTAMP:20260526T213314 CREATED:20260122T075708Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260203T100102Z UID:8468-1769929200-1769936400@a49c1ad5-1c87-489e-836b-4369b3396010.ataavi.org SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Bhadbhada Dam\, Bhopal\, Madhya Pradesh DESCRIPTION:Bird Walk at Kaliyasota Dam River View\, Bhopal\, MP \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Bhopal\n \n \n \n \n 15 February\, 2026\n \n \n \n \n Ankit Malviya\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About Kaliyasot Reservoir \n \n \n \n Kaliyasot Reservoir in Bhopal is a serene retreat where sparkling reservoir waters meet rolling green hills and wooded patches\, creating a peaceful escape from the city.

The dam is popular among walkers\, birdwatchers\, and nature lovers who come here for quiet mornings and scenic sunsets over the water. Its calm surroundings and gentle breeze make it a favored spot for picnics\, photography\, and slow-paced moments by the lakeside. During winter\, the water levels and migratory season add to the dam’s beauty\, attracting more visitors who enjoy its soothing natural ambiance and open skies. \n \n \n \n The habitats around Kaliyasot Reservoir\, including wetlands\, grasslands\, and scattered trees\, support a rich diversity of wildlife. Cyclists and joggers often use the trails nearby\, and local residents visit regularly for fresh air and relaxation. Efforts to maintain the natural charm and keep the area clean are crucial\, as it serves not only as a recreational destination but also as an ecological resource for Bhopal.

Along the water’s edge\, Indian Pond Herons\, Little Egrets\, Cattle Egrets\, and Little Cormorants are regular sights\, while Spot-billed Ducks paddle across the calm surface. The tall grasses and reeds host warblers such as Green Warblers\, Hume’s Warblers\, and Common Reed Warblers\, all flitting restlessly as they forage. The presence of Asian Open-bill Storks and occasional vocal Sarus Cranes highlights the wetland’s importance as a feeding and roosting site for larger waders and seasonal visitors. Red-wattled Lapwings patrol the shoreline\, often calling loudly as they defend their territory. \n \n \n \n In the wooded patches and scrublands around the dam\, an equally rich diversity thrives. Jungle Babblers chatter in groups\, Red-vented Bulbuls call from bushes\, and Oriental Magpie-Robins and Indian Robins brighten the trails with their songs. Insect hunters like White-throated Kingfishers\, Green Bee-eaters\, Wire-tailed Swallows\, and Indian White-eyes bring movement and colour to open spaces. Raptors such as Black Kites\, Black-shouldered Kites\, and occasionally soaring cuckoos like Pied and Indian Cuckoos add excitement for keen observers. Seasonal species like Eurasian Wryneck and the brilliant Indian Golden Oriole make birding here even more rewarding.
