(delhibirdpix) Baya -Asola-28.6.2014

Dear friends these passerine gregarious birds were abundant once in 'DELHI' up to the end of 1990 everywhere but now have restricted to very few pockets in Delhi Najafgarh drain & Bhatti mines are still good place to see these yellow beauties. I posted in this group in early 2000 about it's sighing ( Large Group Only) and got only one reply from Sajeev T.K. who sighted it in Badkal lake. They are seen by Delhi birders on and off either solitary or a very small groups. I had written an article in 2006 or 7 on this issue . Habitat loss and lack of nesting material has forced them to go to the periphery of 'DELHI' . Here I am exclusively focusing on Delhi and not 'NCT' . I need inputs from my learned friends how often you see their large flocks now a days in 'Delhi' ? Please share with me. This solitary male was sighted in Asola on 28th June.

(delhibirdpix) Delhi Birders

Maitreya - the boy prodigy of Delhi Bird Group - has an insatiable desire to see Sarus in

the Wilds. when he heard of the group sighting 51 Sarus in its maiden trip to this new area, he was so excited that he wanted to return to India from Costa Rica earlier this month .

Here he is. literally, on top of the world - enjoying the sight of 25 Cranes in a group this

morning.

Cheers.
