What's On in June
It’s that time of the year when we would ideally have our umbrellas, raincoats, and gumboots out. But with the 2nd wave of pandemic, we may not be able to venture outdoors. Confined to our houses, maybe this month, we can enjoy the rains and birds from our balconies, backyards, and rooftops!
What's On in April
The rising temperatures across the country signify that summer is upon us.

Winter is around the corner and we’ll soon be unpacking our scarves, sweaters, and tall socks. Our birds on the other hand will be doing everything they can to keep themselves warm- from storying fat to fluffing up their feathers, finding suitable roosting places, and much more.
Whats on in October
October is a great time to appreciate and enjoy migratory birds! Wetlands begin to fill up with waders and waterfowl, while trees and shrubs are buzzing with warblers.

It’s an exciting time of the year to be birding in India! An increasing number of shorebirds from various parts of the world have started arriving, inhabiting small and large water bodies across the country.
Whats on in August
While the monsoon continues in many parts of the country, August is a relatively pleasant month and can be quite fruitful for birders. The increase in vegetation and invertebrates sustain the newly fledged and juvenile birds.
Whats on in July
Half-way through the year, July falls right in the middle of the birding “off-season” with hardly a migrant in sight. With several states still under travel restrictions, birders may not be able to venture out much.
