Birding in
Bhopal - Birding Spots
Beautiful
landscape and greenery all around makes city of Bhopal a suitable
place for birding activities. There are some spots like van vihar
and shahpura where for definite reasons you can find different
species of birds. But there are some other places too that can
be looked upon for bird watching. Following is the list of birding
spots, with their location and description.
All
efforts have been made to prepare a checklist that provides maximum
probability to spot a bird in a particular area. That's the reason
why area covered by a spot is also described ie shahpura does
not cover entire shahpura but just the lake and its surrounding
area. This area has been referred to as 'Birding area'.
Taking
into account that we are just amateurs, questions were asked to
experts and resource persons, help was sought and only after proper
discussion that this list was created. Bird watching camps and
various visits to birding locations in a formal or informal way
were utilized to identify birds and prepare the list.
