Sundarbans
Sundarbans is a paradise for bird lovers for the rich species of birds it boasts off, both migratory and residential.....
The climatic conditions at the biosphere reserve creates an ideal habitat for the resident as well as the foreign birds of numerous variety. The dark and foreboding attractiveness of the mangroves hides some of the most sought after birds in the world and a chance encounter with a Brown-winged Kingfisher, a Grey Headed Lapwing, a Brahminy Kite, a Pallas's Fish Eagle or a White-Bellied Sea Eagle, a Lesser Adjutant or maybe a Mangrove Whistler is always a possibility. Other rare varieties of birds can also be seen. However, the noise of the motorized boats frightens these winged creatures and they quickly shy away from human contact. Tell the launch to stop its engine while you are surveying for the Birds in Sundarbans. Let your lenses do the talking. Some exotic birds are hard to catch a glimpse of, as they hide amidst the mangroves.
