Is this park fully open now (with camera and binoculars ?)
Last year the guards there did not allow me to enter with a camera ! On Sat, Jan 4, 2014 at 5:03 PM, <cathie.murray@gmail.com> wrote:
--Hello all,We were the stragglers who found a turtle, when we headed west on what seemed to be a well-used side trail into a small valley. Would be interested to hear the rescue story.A picture of the turtle is attached. We did not touch or disturb it.We thought we got a good look at a common wood shrike (not brown) down there plus two sulfur bellied warblers, black redstart, other commons and a jackal as we came back to the trail.We headed north to leave the park as we were using public transit to get home. We saw a blue throat and diverse commoners on the way out such as purple sun bird and oriental white eyes.Great to hear of plans to improve this sanctuary and habitat!Cathie
Sent from my iPhoneHello Everyone,
A few of us gathered at the Vasant Kunj Biodiversity Park despite being cold and overcast.We didn't see much, although the walk was visually spectacular, with the sun glowing for a few minutes every now and then.Partha spotted the Eurasia Wryneck and I the Orange Headed Thrush. Everyone managed a great look at the yellow eyed babblers and some of us, though not me, saw a raptor which seemed the size of a black kite, but grayish, and which could not be id's as we were inside of a depression and it was on top of the ridge area, in the vegetation. Other sightings were the Long Tailed Shrike, Lesser White Throat, Oriental Honey Buzzard, Indian Robin, Ashy Prinia, Common Babbler, and the Bulbuls-the white cheeked, the red whiskered and red vented. I didn't see it, but two people also saw the Brown Shrike, a jackal and a turtle (can't recall the name) that was rescued from Kusum Pur Pahari, we later learned.The previously reported Pitta can be expected again, and was around for a week the last time. Dr. Shah, whom we met as we left, said that they are ambitious for this park, and once they do develop it, they hope it will become a sanctuary. He seems to be proactively developing various habitats, to house a range of species, though this I could not understand clearly.I won't call it a rocking bird spot like Basai etc but I will certainly explore it again and again, both because of its beauty and its potential.Bharati
