SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Tal Talaab\, Behind Tal Tiger Resort\, Kanha Tiger Reserve\, Madhya Pradesh

The park is a mosaic of wetlands\, grasslands\, and wooded patches\, interspersed with water bodies that sustain life through changing seasons. Native trees\, shrubs\, and aquatic vegetation create layered habitats that support insects\, butterflies\, amphibians\, and small mammals\, forming a vibrant and interconnected ecosystem. This blend of habitats mirrors the larger landscapes of Gondia\, known for its proximity to forested reserves and water-rich environments.								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birders\, Pangadi Biodiversity Park is a rewarding hotspot where waterbirds\, woodland species\, and open-country birds come together. Ducks and waders frequent the wetlands\, while kingfishers\, bee-eaters\, and drongos add flashes of movement and colour across the park. Seasonal migrations bring in new species\, making every visit dynamic and engaging. However\, like many urban and semi-urban green spaces\, the park faces growing pressures from habitat disturbance\, pollution\, and invasive species to the impacts of increasing human activity. Sustained conservation efforts\, habitat management\, and community awareness are key to ensuring that Pangadi continues to thrive as a sanctuary for biodiversity and a space for people to connect with nature.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Nitesh YadavNitesh Yadav\, from Gondia\, Maharashtra\, is an engineer-turned-naturalist who discovered his passion for wildlife and nature during his years in the corporate sector.

Open areas echo with the calls of Yellow-wattled Lapwing and Red-wattled Lapwing\, while graceful species like the Yellow-footed Green Pigeon perch quietly in treetops. Along water edges\, flashes of blue from Pied Kingfisher contrast with the earthy tones of larks and prinias moving through the grass. The steady presence of Black Drongo and White-bellied Drongo adds energy to open spaces\, while colourful birds like Tickell’s Blue Flycatcher and Purple-rumped Sunbird brighten the shaded patches. As dusk falls\, species like the Indian Nightjar take over\, making the park a dynamic\, all-day birding destination that reflects the richness of central India’s landscapes.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Eurasian Collared Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Yellow-footed Green Pigeon				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Nightjar				\n				\n				\n				\n					Yellow-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Hoopoe				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Pied Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-rumped Flameback				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Plum-headed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-bellied Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Gray-breasted Prinia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Ashy Prinia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Jungle Babbler				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					Oriental Magpie-Robin				\n				\n				\n				\n					Tickell's Blue Flycatcher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple-rumped Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					Summary of Walk				\n				\n				\n				\n									The bird walk at Biodiversity Park Pangadi saw 16 participants immerse themselves in a vibrant forest ecosystem rich in birdlife and natural interactions.

The park is a mosaic of wetlands\, grasslands\, and wooded patches\, interspersed with water bodies that sustain life through changing seasons. Native trees\, shrubs\, and aquatic vegetation create layered habitats that support insects\, butterflies\, amphibians\, and small mammals\, forming a vibrant and interconnected ecosystem. This blend of habitats mirrors the larger landscapes of Gondia\, known for its proximity to forested reserves and water-rich environments.								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birders\, Pangadi Biodiversity Park is a rewarding hotspot where waterbirds\, woodland species\, and open-country birds come together. Ducks and waders frequent the wetlands\, while kingfishers\, bee-eaters\, and drongos add flashes of movement and colour across the park. Seasonal migrations bring in new species\, making every visit dynamic and engaging. However\, like many urban and semi-urban green spaces\, the park faces growing pressures from habitat disturbance\, pollution\, and invasive species to the impacts of increasing human activity. Sustained conservation efforts\, habitat management\, and community awareness are key to ensuring that Pangadi continues to thrive as a sanctuary for biodiversity and a space for people to connect with nature.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Nitesh YadavNitesh Yadav\, from Gondia\, Maharashtra\, is an engineer-turned-naturalist who discovered his passion for wildlife and nature during his years in the corporate sector.

The park is a mosaic of wetlands\, grasslands\, and wooded patches\, interspersed with water bodies that sustain life through changing seasons. Native trees\, shrubs\, and aquatic vegetation create layered habitats that support insects\, butterflies\, amphibians\, and small mammals\, forming a vibrant and interconnected ecosystem. This blend of habitats mirrors the larger landscapes of Gondia\, known for its proximity to forested reserves and water-rich environments.								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birders\, Pangadi Biodiversity Park is a rewarding hotspot where waterbirds\, woodland species\, and open-country birds come together. Ducks and waders frequent the wetlands\, while kingfishers\, bee-eaters\, and drongos add flashes of movement and colour across the park. Seasonal migrations bring in new species\, making every visit dynamic and engaging. However\, like many urban and semi-urban green spaces\, the park faces growing pressures from habitat disturbance\, pollution\, and invasive species to the impacts of increasing human activity.

The park is a mosaic of wetlands\, grasslands\, and wooded patches\, interspersed with water bodies that sustain life through changing seasons. Native trees\, shrubs\, and aquatic vegetation create layered habitats that support insects\, butterflies\, amphibians\, and small mammals\, forming a vibrant and interconnected ecosystem. This blend of habitats mirrors the larger landscapes of Gondia\, known for its proximity to forested reserves and water-rich environments.								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birders\, Pangadi Biodiversity Park is a rewarding hotspot where waterbirds\, woodland species\, and open-country birds come together. Ducks and waders frequent the wetlands\, while kingfishers\, bee-eaters\, and drongos add flashes of movement and colour across the park. Seasonal migrations bring in new species\, making every visit dynamic and engaging. However\, like many urban and semi-urban green spaces\, the park faces growing pressures from habitat disturbance\, pollution\, and invasive species to the impacts of increasing human activity.

The park is a mosaic of wetlands\, grasslands\, and wooded patches\, interspersed with water bodies that sustain life through changing seasons. Native trees\, shrubs\, and aquatic vegetation create layered habitats that support insects\, butterflies\, amphibians\, and small mammals\, forming a vibrant and interconnected ecosystem. This blend of habitats mirrors the larger landscapes of Gondia\, known for its proximity to forested reserves and water-rich environments.								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birders\, Pangadi Biodiversity Park is a rewarding hotspot where waterbirds\, woodland species\, and open-country birds come together. Ducks and waders frequent the wetlands\, while kingfishers\, bee-eaters\, and drongos add flashes of movement and colour across the park. Seasonal migrations bring in new species\, making every visit dynamic and engaging. However\, like many urban and semi-urban green spaces\, the park faces growing pressures from habitat disturbance\, pollution\, and invasive species to the impacts of increasing human activity.

The park is a mosaic of wetlands\, grasslands\, and wooded patches\, interspersed with water bodies that sustain life through changing seasons. Native trees\, shrubs\, and aquatic vegetation create layered habitats that support insects\, butterflies\, amphibians\, and small mammals\, forming a vibrant and interconnected ecosystem. This blend of habitats mirrors the larger landscapes of Gondia\, known for its proximity to forested reserves and water-rich environments.								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birders\, Pangadi Biodiversity Park is a rewarding hotspot where waterbirds\, woodland species\, and open-country birds come together. Ducks and waders frequent the wetlands\, while kingfishers\, bee-eaters\, and drongos add flashes of movement and colour across the park. Seasonal migrations bring in new species\, making every visit dynamic and engaging. However\, like many urban and semi-urban green spaces\, the park faces growing pressures from habitat disturbance\, pollution\, and invasive species to the impacts of increasing human activity.

SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Mahatma Hill\, Pune\, Maharashtra
DESCRIPTION:Bird Walk at Pangadi Biodiversity Park\, Gondia\, Maharashtra				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n							\n							\n											\n													\n										Gondia\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										9 May\, 2026\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										Nitesh Yadav\n									\n						\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					About Pangadi Biodiversity Park 				\n				\n				\n				\n									Set in the heart of eastern Maharashtra\, Pangadi Biodiversity Park is a refreshing green escape that showcases the region’s rich natural heritage. The park is a mosaic of wetlands\, grasslands\, and wooded patches\, interspersed with water bodies that sustain life through changing seasons. Native trees\, shrubs\, and aquatic vegetation create layered habitats that support insects\, butterflies\, amphibians\, and small mammals\, forming a vibrant and interconnected ecosystem. This blend of habitats mirrors the larger landscapes of Gondia\, known for its proximity to forested reserves and water-rich environments.								\n				\n				\n				\n									For birders\, Pangadi Biodiversity Park is a rewarding hotspot where waterbirds\, woodland species\, and open-country birds come together. Ducks and waders frequent the wetlands\, while kingfishers\, bee-eaters\, and drongos add flashes of movement and colour across the park. Seasonal migrations bring in new species\, making every visit dynamic and engaging. However\, like many urban and semi-urban green spaces\, the park faces growing pressures from habitat disturbance\, pollution\, and invasive species to the impacts of increasing human activity. Sustained conservation efforts\, habitat management\, and community awareness are key to ensuring that Pangadi continues to thrive as a sanctuary for biodiversity and a space for people to connect with nature.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide - Nitesh YadavNitesh Yadav\, from Gondia\, Maharashtra\, is an engineer-turned-naturalist who discovered his passion for wildlife and nature during his years in the corporate sector. His growing interest in birds\, animals\, and forests inspired him to shift careers\, leading him to work at Kanha National Park\, where he now shares the wonders of the natural world with visitors and enthusiasts. 				\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird walk Location				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Common birds of Pangadi Biodiversity Park 				\n				\n				\n				\n									The diverse habitats of Pangadi Biodiversity Park come alive with a vibrant mix of birdlife\, where wetlands\, grasslands\, and wooded patches create the perfect stage for avian diversity. Open areas echo with the calls of Yellow-wattled Lapwing and Red-wattled Lapwing\, while graceful species like the Yellow-footed Green Pigeon perch quietly in treetops. Along water edges\, flashes of blue from Pied Kingfisher contrast with the earthy tones of larks and prinias moving through the grass. The steady presence of Black Drongo and White-bellied Drongo adds energy to open spaces\, while colourful birds like Tickell’s Blue Flycatcher and Purple-rumped Sunbird brighten the shaded patches.
