SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Kanha National Park\,  Ghanghar river trails\, Mandla (MP)

The park features a mix of wooded patches\, scrub\, open grassy areas and seasonal water bodies\, creating a mosaic of habitats that support surprising biodiversity. Native and planted trees such as neem\, banyan\, peepal\, rain tree and flowering shrubs attract insects\, butterflies and small mammals like squirrels\, while reptiles and amphibians find refuge in quieter corners. For birdwatchers\, Green Valley Park is a rewarding local hotspot—early mornings reveal a chorus of bulbuls\, prinias\, sunbirds and tailorbirds\, while drongos\, bee-eaters\, parakeets and occasional raptors add movement and colour\, making it a popular stop for urban nature walks and casual birding.								\n				\n				\n				\n									However\, like many urban green spaces\, Green Valley Park faces mounting pressures. Urban expansion\, littering\, noise\, invasive plant species and heavy footfall threaten habitat quality and disturb wildlife. Poor waste management and loss of native vegetation can reduce nesting and foraging opportunities for birds. Conservation here relies heavily on thoughtful planning and community involvement—protecting native trees\, maintaining undisturbed zones\, controlling waste and encouraging responsible visitor behaviour. With mindful stewardship\, Green Valley Park can continue to function as an important urban refuge\, supporting birdlife and offering residents a vital connection to nature in the heart of Navi Mumbai. 								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Sukhpreet KohliSukhpreet Kohli\, a passionate birder from Mumbai\, has been exploring the city’s rich avian life for many years.

Flocks of Rosy Starlings and Chestnut-tailed Starlings often dominate the treetops\, while Rock Pigeons\, House Crows and Large-billed Crows move confidently through open spaces. The skies are frequently patrolled by Black Kites\, Asian Palm Swifts and Dusky Crag-Martins\, with flashes of colour from Asian Green Bee-eaters and Small Minivets. On the ground and in dense cover\, Red Spurfowl\, Common Tailorbirds\, Spotted Doves and White-breasted Waterhens add to the park’s everyday birdlife\, while fig trees and mature canopy attract Coppersmith Barbets\, Common Ioras and both Alexandrine and Rose-ringed Parakeets. Occasional surprises such as Painted Storks and Shikras highlight the ecological value of this urban green space\, which contributes to an impressive checklist of around 219 bird species\, making Green Valley Park a rewarding destination for city birdwatching.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Kite				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Tailorbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Palm Swift				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Golden Oriole				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Painted Stork				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Iora				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Coucal				\n				\n				\n				\n					Alexandrine Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Jungle Babbler				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Honey Buzzard				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Koel				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-whiskered Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Tickell's Blue Flycatcher				\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									A bird walk at Green Valley Park\, Navi Mumbai\, led by Sukhpreet Kohli brought together seven enthusiastic participants for an engaging and lively morning in nature.

A fleeting but exciting moment came when a pair of Red Spurfowl dashed into the woods\, while Purple Sunbirds delighted everyone with their vibrant colors and graceful nectar-feeding flights. A shy Greater Coucal kept itself mostly hidden\, adding to the thrill of the search. In total\, over 32 bird species were seen and heard during the walk\, many of which were new discoveries for the participants.

The park features a mix of wooded patches\, scrub\, open grassy areas and seasonal water bodies\, creating a mosaic of habitats that support surprising biodiversity. Native and planted trees such as neem\, banyan\, peepal\, rain tree and flowering shrubs attract insects\, butterflies and small mammals like squirrels\, while reptiles and amphibians find refuge in quieter corners. For birdwatchers\, Green Valley Park is a rewarding local hotspot—early mornings reveal a chorus of bulbuls\, prinias\, sunbirds and tailorbirds\, while drongos\, bee-eaters\, parakeets and occasional raptors add movement and colour\, making it a popular stop for urban nature walks and casual birding.								\n				\n				\n				\n									However\, like many urban green spaces\, Green Valley Park faces mounting pressures. Urban expansion\, littering\, noise\, invasive plant species and heavy footfall threaten habitat quality and disturb wildlife. Poor waste management and loss of native vegetation can reduce nesting and foraging opportunities for birds. Conservation here relies heavily on thoughtful planning and community involvement—protecting native trees\, maintaining undisturbed zones\, controlling waste and encouraging responsible visitor behaviour. With mindful stewardship\, Green Valley Park can continue to function as an important urban refuge\, supporting birdlife and offering residents a vital connection to nature in the heart of Navi Mumbai. 								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Sukhpreet KohliSukhpreet Kohli\, a passionate birder from Mumbai\, has been exploring the city’s rich avian life for many years.

Flocks of Rosy Starlings and Chestnut-tailed Starlings often dominate the treetops\, while Rock Pigeons\, House Crows and Large-billed Crows move confidently through open spaces. The skies are frequently patrolled by Black Kites\, Asian Palm Swifts and Dusky Crag-Martins\, with flashes of colour from Asian Green Bee-eaters and Small Minivets. On the ground and in dense cover\, Red Spurfowl\, Common Tailorbirds\, Spotted Doves and White-breasted Waterhens add to the park’s everyday birdlife\, while fig trees and mature canopy attract Coppersmith Barbets\, Common Ioras and both Alexandrine and Rose-ringed Parakeets. Occasional surprises such as Painted Storks and Shikras highlight the ecological value of this urban green space\, which contributes to an impressive checklist of around 219 bird species\, making Green Valley Park a rewarding destination for city birdwatching.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Kite				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Tailorbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Palm Swift				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Golden Oriole				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Painted Stork				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Iora				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Coucal				\n				\n				\n				\n					Alexandrine Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Jungle Babbler				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Honey Buzzard				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Koel				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-whiskered Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Tickell's Blue Flycatcher				\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									A bird walk at Green Valley Park\, Navi Mumbai\, led by Sukhpreet Kohli brought together seven enthusiastic participants for an engaging and lively morning in nature.

A fleeting but exciting moment came when a pair of Red Spurfowl dashed into the woods\, while Purple Sunbirds delighted everyone with their vibrant colors and graceful nectar-feeding flights. A shy Greater Coucal kept itself mostly hidden\, adding to the thrill of the search. In total\, over 32 bird species were seen and heard during the walk\, many of which were new discoveries for the participants.

The park features a mix of wooded patches\, scrub\, open grassy areas and seasonal water bodies\, creating a mosaic of habitats that support surprising biodiversity. Native and planted trees such as neem\, banyan\, peepal\, rain tree and flowering shrubs attract insects\, butterflies and small mammals like squirrels\, while reptiles and amphibians find refuge in quieter corners. For birdwatchers\, Green Valley Park is a rewarding local hotspot—early mornings reveal a chorus of bulbuls\, prinias\, sunbirds and tailorbirds\, while drongos\, bee-eaters\, parakeets and occasional raptors add movement and colour\, making it a popular stop for urban nature walks and casual birding.								\n				\n				\n				\n									However\, like many urban green spaces\, Green Valley Park faces mounting pressures. Urban expansion\, littering\, noise\, invasive plant species and heavy footfall threaten habitat quality and disturb wildlife. Poor waste management and loss of native vegetation can reduce nesting and foraging opportunities for birds. Conservation here relies heavily on thoughtful planning and community involvement—protecting native trees\, maintaining undisturbed zones\, controlling waste and encouraging responsible visitor behaviour.

The park features a mix of wooded patches\, scrub\, open grassy areas and seasonal water bodies\, creating a mosaic of habitats that support surprising biodiversity. Native and planted trees such as neem\, banyan\, peepal\, rain tree and flowering shrubs attract insects\, butterflies and small mammals like squirrels\, while reptiles and amphibians find refuge in quieter corners. For birdwatchers\, Green Valley Park is a rewarding local hotspot—early mornings reveal a chorus of bulbuls\, prinias\, sunbirds and tailorbirds\, while drongos\, bee-eaters\, parakeets and occasional raptors add movement and colour\, making it a popular stop for urban nature walks and casual birding.								\n				\n				\n				\n									However\, like many urban green spaces\, Green Valley Park faces mounting pressures. Urban expansion\, littering\, noise\, invasive plant species and heavy footfall threaten habitat quality and disturb wildlife. Poor waste management and loss of native vegetation can reduce nesting and foraging opportunities for birds. Conservation here relies heavily on thoughtful planning and community involvement—protecting native trees\, maintaining undisturbed zones\, controlling waste and encouraging responsible visitor behaviour. With mindful stewardship\, Green Valley Park can continue to function as an important urban refuge\, supporting birdlife and offering residents a vital connection to nature in the heart of Navi Mumbai. 								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Sukhpreet KohliSukhpreet Kohli\, a passionate birder from Mumbai\, has been exploring the city’s rich avian life for many years.

The park features a mix of wooded patches\, scrub\, open grassy areas and seasonal water bodies\, creating a mosaic of habitats that support surprising biodiversity. Native and planted trees such as neem\, banyan\, peepal\, rain tree and flowering shrubs attract insects\, butterflies and small mammals like squirrels\, while reptiles and amphibians find refuge in quieter corners. For birdwatchers\, Green Valley Park is a rewarding local hotspot—early mornings reveal a chorus of bulbuls\, prinias\, sunbirds and tailorbirds\, while drongos\, bee-eaters\, parakeets and occasional raptors add movement and colour\, making it a popular stop for urban nature walks and casual birding.								\n				\n				\n				\n									However\, like many urban green spaces\, Green Valley Park faces mounting pressures. Urban expansion\, littering\, noise\, invasive plant species and heavy footfall threaten habitat quality and disturb wildlife. Poor waste management and loss of native vegetation can reduce nesting and foraging opportunities for birds. Conservation here relies heavily on thoughtful planning and community involvement—protecting native trees\, maintaining undisturbed zones\, controlling waste and encouraging responsible visitor behaviour. With mindful stewardship\, Green Valley Park can continue to function as an important urban refuge\, supporting birdlife and offering residents a vital connection to nature in the heart of Navi Mumbai. 								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Sukhpreet KohliSukhpreet Kohli\, a passionate birder from Mumbai\, has been exploring the city’s rich avian life for many years.

Flocks of Rosy Starlings and Chestnut-tailed Starlings often dominate the treetops\, while Rock Pigeons\, House Crows and Large-billed Crows move confidently through open spaces. The skies are frequently patrolled by Black Kites\, Asian Palm Swifts and Dusky Crag-Martins\, with flashes of colour from Asian Green Bee-eaters and Small Minivets. On the ground and in dense cover\, Red Spurfowl\, Common Tailorbirds\, Spotted Doves and White-breasted Waterhens add to the park’s everyday birdlife\, while fig trees and mature canopy attract Coppersmith Barbets\, Common Ioras and both Alexandrine and Rose-ringed Parakeets. Occasional surprises such as Painted Storks and Shikras highlight the ecological value of this urban green space\, which contributes to an impressive checklist of around 219 bird species\, making Green Valley Park a rewarding destination for city birdwatching.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Kite				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Tailorbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Palm Swift				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Golden Oriole				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Painted Stork				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Iora				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Coucal				\n				\n				\n				\n					Alexandrine Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Jungle Babbler				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Honey Buzzard				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Koel				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-whiskered Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Tickell's Blue Flycatcher				\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									A bird walk at Green Valley Park\, Navi Mumbai\, led by Sukhpreet Kohli brought together seven enthusiastic participants for an engaging and lively morning in nature.

The park features a mix of wooded patches\, scrub\, open grassy areas and seasonal water bodies\, creating a mosaic of habitats that support surprising biodiversity. Native and planted trees such as neem\, banyan\, peepal\, rain tree and flowering shrubs attract insects\, butterflies and small mammals like squirrels\, while reptiles and amphibians find refuge in quieter corners. For birdwatchers\, Green Valley Park is a rewarding local hotspot—early mornings reveal a chorus of bulbuls\, prinias\, sunbirds and tailorbirds\, while drongos\, bee-eaters\, parakeets and occasional raptors add movement and colour\, making it a popular stop for urban nature walks and casual birding.								\n				\n				\n				\n									However\, like many urban green spaces\, Green Valley Park faces mounting pressures. Urban expansion\, littering\, noise\, invasive plant species and heavy footfall threaten habitat quality and disturb wildlife. Poor waste management and loss of native vegetation can reduce nesting and foraging opportunities for birds. Conservation here relies heavily on thoughtful planning and community involvement—protecting native trees\, maintaining undisturbed zones\, controlling waste and encouraging responsible visitor behaviour. With mindful stewardship\, Green Valley Park can continue to function as an important urban refuge\, supporting birdlife and offering residents a vital connection to nature in the heart of Navi Mumbai. 								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Sukhpreet KohliSukhpreet Kohli\, a passionate birder from Mumbai\, has been exploring the city’s rich avian life for many years.

Flocks of Rosy Starlings and Chestnut-tailed Starlings often dominate the treetops\, while Rock Pigeons\, House Crows and Large-billed Crows move confidently through open spaces. The skies are frequently patrolled by Black Kites\, Asian Palm Swifts and Dusky Crag-Martins\, with flashes of colour from Asian Green Bee-eaters and Small Minivets. On the ground and in dense cover\, Red Spurfowl\, Common Tailorbirds\, Spotted Doves and White-breasted Waterhens add to the park’s everyday birdlife\, while fig trees and mature canopy attract Coppersmith Barbets\, Common Ioras and both Alexandrine and Rose-ringed Parakeets. Occasional surprises such as Painted Storks and Shikras highlight the ecological value of this urban green space\, which contributes to an impressive checklist of around 219 bird species\, making Green Valley Park a rewarding destination for city birdwatching.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Kite				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Tailorbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Palm Swift				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Golden Oriole				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Painted Stork				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Iora				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Coucal				\n				\n				\n				\n					Alexandrine Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Jungle Babbler				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Honey Buzzard				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Koel				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-whiskered Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Tickell's Blue Flycatcher				\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									A bird walk at Green Valley Park\, Navi Mumbai\, led by Sukhpreet Kohli brought together seven enthusiastic participants for an engaging and lively morning in nature.

A fleeting but exciting moment came when a pair of Red Spurfowl dashed into the woods\, while Purple Sunbirds delighted everyone with their vibrant colors and graceful nectar-feeding flights. A shy Greater Coucal kept itself mostly hidden\, adding to the thrill of the search. In total\, over 32 bird species were seen and heard during the walk\, many of which were new discoveries for the participants.

Flocks of Rosy Starlings and Chestnut-tailed Starlings often dominate the treetops\, while Rock Pigeons\, House Crows and Large-billed Crows move confidently through open spaces. The skies are frequently patrolled by Black Kites\, Asian Palm Swifts and Dusky Crag-Martins\, with flashes of colour from Asian Green Bee-eaters and Small Minivets. On the ground and in dense cover\, Red Spurfowl\, Common Tailorbirds\, Spotted Doves and White-breasted Waterhens add to the park’s everyday birdlife\, while fig trees and mature canopy attract Coppersmith Barbets\, Common Ioras and both Alexandrine and Rose-ringed Parakeets. Occasional surprises such as Painted Storks and Shikras highlight the ecological value of this urban green space\, which contributes to an impressive checklist of around 219 bird species\, making Green Valley Park a rewarding destination for city birdwatching.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Kite				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Tailorbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Palm Swift				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Golden Oriole				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Painted Stork				\n				\n				\n				\n					Shikra				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Iora				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Coucal				\n				\n				\n				\n					Alexandrine Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Jungle Babbler				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Honey Buzzard				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Koel				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-whiskered Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					Tickell's Blue Flycatcher				\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									A bird walk at Green Valley Park\, Navi Mumbai\, led by Sukhpreet Kohli brought together seven enthusiastic participants for an engaging and lively morning in nature. The walk began with sightings of a group of Jungle Babblers and the sharp call of a Shikra echoing through the park\, followed by frequent encounters with Red-vented and Red-whiskered Bulbuls moving through the shrubs along the path. A fleeting but exciting moment came when a pair of Red Spurfowl dashed into the woods\, while Purple Sunbirds delighted everyone with their vibrant colors and graceful nectar-feeding flights. A shy Greater Coucal kept itself mostly hidden\, adding to the thrill of the search. In total\, over 32 bird species were seen and heard during the walk\, many of which were new discoveries for the participants. Their energy\, curiosity\, and eagerness to learn stood out\, with interactive trivia questions helping break the ice and encouraging deeper appreciation of birds and their crucial role in the ecosystem.\n								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0
