Colorful species like the Green Bee-eater\, White-throated Kingfisher\, Coppersmith Barbet\, Brahminy Starling\, Purple-rumped Sunbird\, and cheerful Tricolored Munia add vibrancy to the landscape. Songbirds including Red-vented Bulbul\, Indian Robin\, Oriental Magpie-Robin\, Yellow-throated Sparrow\, and winter visitors like the Taiga Flycatcher and Greenish Warbler enhance the safari’s biodiversity. Together\, these birds make Nandanvan an enriching outdoor classroom where students can observe real-life ecological interactions and develop a deeper appreciation for avian life. \n \n \n \n \n Eurasian-collared Dove \n \n \n \n Laughing Dove \n \n \n \n Greater Coucal \n \n \n \n Red-wattled Lapwing \n \n \n \n Little Cormorant \n \n \n \n Black-crowned Night Heron \n \n \n \n Little Egret \n \n \n \n Eastern Cattle Egret \n \n \n \n Shikra \n \n \n \n Black Kite \n \n \n \n Asian Green Bee-eater \n \n \n \n White-throated Kingfisher \n \n \n \n Coppersmith Barbet \n \n \n \n Black Drongo \n \n \n \n Red-vented Bulbul \n \n \n \n Brahminy Starling \n \n \n \n Indian Robin \n \n \n \n Taiga Flycatcher \n \n \n \n Oriental Magpie Robin \n \n \n \n Yellow-throated Sparrow \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Summary of Walk \n \n \n \n The bird walk at Nandanvan Jungle Safari resulted in a rich count of 50 bird species\, reflecting the habitat diversity within the safari landscape.
