Keoladeo National Park - Bharatpur :
A
paradise for the avian world, and the pilgrimage for the bird lovers, it was
known as the best duck shooting resort in the British empire. But was declared
a reserve for birds in 1956 and later upgraded to National Park. UNESCO has
listed it as a world heritage site. The geographical location is ideal as it
is on the main North-South avian route of India. Although small in size, 29
sq. km. Only, it boasts to house more than 375 species of beautiful birds, and
more than 132 of them breed inside the Keoladeo Ghana National Park and nearly
every year new ones are added to the list.
The sanctuary not only attracts birds from India but also from places like Europe, Siberia, China and Tibet Before monsoons hundreds of these exotic birds roost and nest building activities start on the babool and kadam trees of Keoladeo National Park (Bharatpur). Water coming through the Ajan Bandh starts filling the various ponds and lakes of Keoladeo National Park (Bharatpur).
When assured of enough food, hundreds of large, medium and little cormorant, darter, purple and grey heron, various species of egret, painted, open-billed, white necked and black necked stork, white ibis, spoonbill, night heron and other birds get busy in courting and mating. The trees are overflooded with nest, one can observe a tree housing nests upto fifties and sixties in number belonging to different species of birds looking after their loving young ones. The nests on the trees look like pearl necklaces. Gracious Saras cranes, the tallest flight birds nest in exposed and open area, both partners share the duty of hatching, while changing incubating duties, they come together, raise their neck and give out shrill trumpetic calls in unison and at the same time fan their feathers.
The newly born chicks are only 10cm in size but grows upto one meter in height within a year. As the monsoons arrive birds from every part of the country start pouring into Keoladeo National Park (Bharatpur). Migratory waterfowls, including the pride of Keoladeo Siberian Cranes form the indispensable part of Park. The waterfowls visit Keoladeo National Park (Bharatpur) millions during the month of October. Rosy starling marks the beginning of the arrival of migratory birds. The most noticeable waterfowl coming to Keoladeo National Park (Bharatpur) are barehanded and grey leg geese.
