The area is characterized by paddy fields\, wheat plots\, and patches of fallow land interspersed with low-lying wetlands that hold water during the monsoon and winter months. These wetlands serve as crucial water sources for farming and livestock\, while also creating microhabitats that sustain aquatic vegetation\, amphibians\, and a variety of invertebrates essential for the local food web.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The agricultural–wetland mosaic of Maharajpura supports a rich diversity of birdlife. Resident species such as egrets\, herons\, mynas\, and bee-eaters are commonly seen around croplands\, while seasonal wetlands attract flocks of migratory ducks\, storks\, and waders during winter. Raptors like kites and harriers patrol the fields\, benefitting from open spaces and prey abundance. Together\, the village\, wetland\, and farmlands make Maharajpura a dynamic cultural and ecological landscape\, illustrating how traditional agriculture and natural habitats continue to coexist and sustain biodiversity in peri-urban Madhya Pradesh.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Vivek VermaA wildlife rescuer and conservationist. He has participated in several bird surveys\, vulture surveys in Tiger Reserves\, National Park\, Wildlife Sanctuary of Madhya Pradesh\, Maharashtra\, Uttar Pradesh\, Rajasthan.

Around the village ponds and seasonal waterbodies\, egrets\, pond herons\, and little cormorants are frequently seen feeding on fish and amphibians. During winter\, open waters host flocks of migratory ducks such as spot-billed ducks and gadwalls\, while black-winged stilts and red-wattled lapwings are regular along the wetland edges. These water-associated birds not only indicate the ecological health of the wetlands but also add vibrancy to the rural scenery.								\n				\n				\n				\n									In the farmlands and village groves\, species like the rose-ringed parakeet\, common myna\, black drongo\, and Indian roller are everyday sights. Peafowl often forage in harvested fields\, while barn swallows and wagtails can be seen actively feeding on insects in agricultural plots. Raptors such as black kites and shikras circle above\, taking advantage of the open terrain. Together\, these common birds reflect the harmonious mix of agriculture and wetland habitats in Maharajpura\, where resident and migratory species coexist alongside village life.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Pheasant-tailed Jacana				\n				\n				\n				\n					Bronze-winged Jacana				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Grebe				\n				\n				\n				\n					Painted Stork				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Sarus Crane				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Openbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Pied Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Laughing Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-winged Stilt				\n				\n				\n				\n					Baya Weaver				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Owlet				\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									A group of seven bird enthusiasts came together to explore Maharajpura\, one of the emerging birding hotspots in Gwalior\, under the guidance of Vivek Verma. Over the course of the walk\, they recorded an impressive 44 bird species\, including remarkable sightings such as the Siberian Stonechat\, Baya Weaver\, Common Redshank\, Ruff\, Marsh Harrier\, and Painted Stork. The diversity of species highlighted the ecological richness of the area and made the walk a rewarding experience for all participants.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Beyond spotting birds\, the walk also emphasized the deeper value of birdwatching as a mindful and educational activity. Participants learned how observing birds cultivates patience\, sharpens listening skills\, and enhances attention to detail\, while also building a stronger connection with nature. The enthusiasm of the group created a lively atmosphere\, making the Maharajpura bird walk both an enriching and inspiring experience for nature lovers in Gwalior.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

The area is characterized by paddy fields\, wheat plots\, and patches of fallow land interspersed with low-lying wetlands that hold water during the monsoon and winter months. These wetlands serve as crucial water sources for farming and livestock\, while also creating microhabitats that sustain aquatic vegetation\, amphibians\, and a variety of invertebrates essential for the local food web.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The agricultural–wetland mosaic of Maharajpura supports a rich diversity of birdlife. Resident species such as egrets\, herons\, mynas\, and bee-eaters are commonly seen around croplands\, while seasonal wetlands attract flocks of migratory ducks\, storks\, and waders during winter. Raptors like kites and harriers patrol the fields\, benefitting from open spaces and prey abundance. Together\, the village\, wetland\, and farmlands make Maharajpura a dynamic cultural and ecological landscape\, illustrating how traditional agriculture and natural habitats continue to coexist and sustain biodiversity in peri-urban Madhya Pradesh.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Vivek VermaA wildlife rescuer and conservationist.

Around the village ponds and seasonal waterbodies\, egrets\, pond herons\, and little cormorants are frequently seen feeding on fish and amphibians. During winter\, open waters host flocks of migratory ducks such as spot-billed ducks and gadwalls\, while black-winged stilts and red-wattled lapwings are regular along the wetland edges. These water-associated birds not only indicate the ecological health of the wetlands but also add vibrancy to the rural scenery.								\n				\n				\n				\n									In the farmlands and village groves\, species like the rose-ringed parakeet\, common myna\, black drongo\, and Indian roller are everyday sights. Peafowl often forage in harvested fields\, while barn swallows and wagtails can be seen actively feeding on insects in agricultural plots. Raptors such as black kites and shikras circle above\, taking advantage of the open terrain. Together\, these common birds reflect the harmonious mix of agriculture and wetland habitats in Maharajpura\, where resident and migratory species coexist alongside village life.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Pheasant-tailed Jacana				\n				\n				\n				\n					Bronze-winged Jacana				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Grebe				\n				\n				\n				\n					Painted Stork				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Sarus Crane				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Openbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Pied Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Laughing Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-winged Stilt				\n				\n				\n				\n					Baya Weaver				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Owlet				\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									A group of seven bird enthusiasts came together to explore Maharajpura\, one of the emerging birding hotspots in Gwalior\, under the guidance of Vivek Verma. Over the course of the walk\, they recorded an impressive 44 bird species\, including remarkable sightings such as the Siberian Stonechat\, Baya Weaver\, Common Redshank\, Ruff\, Marsh Harrier\, and Painted Stork. The diversity of species highlighted the ecological richness of the area and made the walk a rewarding experience for all participants.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Beyond spotting birds\, the walk also emphasized the deeper value of birdwatching as a mindful and educational activity. Participants learned how observing birds cultivates patience\, sharpens listening skills\, and enhances attention to detail\, while also building a stronger connection with nature.

The area is characterized by paddy fields\, wheat plots\, and patches of fallow land interspersed with low-lying wetlands that hold water during the monsoon and winter months. These wetlands serve as crucial water sources for farming and livestock\, while also creating microhabitats that sustain aquatic vegetation\, amphibians\, and a variety of invertebrates essential for the local food web.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The agricultural–wetland mosaic of Maharajpura supports a rich diversity of birdlife. Resident species such as egrets\, herons\, mynas\, and bee-eaters are commonly seen around croplands\, while seasonal wetlands attract flocks of migratory ducks\, storks\, and waders during winter. Raptors like kites and harriers patrol the fields\, benefitting from open spaces and prey abundance. Together\, the village\, wetland\, and farmlands make Maharajpura a dynamic cultural and ecological landscape\, illustrating how traditional agriculture and natural habitats continue to coexist and sustain biodiversity in peri-urban Madhya Pradesh.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Vivek VermaA wildlife rescuer and conservationist. He has participated in several bird surveys\, vulture surveys in Tiger Reserves\, National Park\, Wildlife Sanctuary of Madhya Pradesh\, Maharashtra\, Uttar Pradesh\, Rajasthan.

Around the village ponds and seasonal waterbodies\, egrets\, pond herons\, and little cormorants are frequently seen feeding on fish and amphibians. During winter\, open waters host flocks of migratory ducks such as spot-billed ducks and gadwalls\, while black-winged stilts and red-wattled lapwings are regular along the wetland edges. These water-associated birds not only indicate the ecological health of the wetlands but also add vibrancy to the rural scenery.								\n				\n				\n				\n									In the farmlands and village groves\, species like the rose-ringed parakeet\, common myna\, black drongo\, and Indian roller are everyday sights. Peafowl often forage in harvested fields\, while barn swallows and wagtails can be seen actively feeding on insects in agricultural plots. Raptors such as black kites and shikras circle above\, taking advantage of the open terrain. Together\, these common birds reflect the harmonious mix of agriculture and wetland habitats in Maharajpura\, where resident and migratory species coexist alongside village life.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Pheasant-tailed Jacana				\n				\n				\n				\n					Bronze-winged Jacana				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Grebe				\n				\n				\n				\n					Painted Stork				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Sarus Crane				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Openbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Pied Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Laughing Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-winged Stilt				\n				\n				\n				\n					Baya Weaver				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Owlet				\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									A group of seven bird enthusiasts came together to explore Maharajpura\, one of the emerging birding hotspots in Gwalior\, under the guidance of Vivek Verma. Over the course of the walk\, they recorded an impressive 44 bird species\, including remarkable sightings such as the Siberian Stonechat\, Baya Weaver\, Common Redshank\, Ruff\, Marsh Harrier\, and Painted Stork. The diversity of species highlighted the ecological richness of the area and made the walk a rewarding experience for all participants.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Beyond spotting birds\, the walk also emphasized the deeper value of birdwatching as a mindful and educational activity. Participants learned how observing birds cultivates patience\, sharpens listening skills\, and enhances attention to detail\, while also building a stronger connection with nature. The enthusiasm of the group created a lively atmosphere\, making the Maharajpura bird walk both an enriching and inspiring experience for nature lovers in Gwalior.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0

The area is characterized by paddy fields\, wheat plots\, and patches of fallow land interspersed with low-lying wetlands that hold water during the monsoon and winter months. These wetlands serve as crucial water sources for farming and livestock\, while also creating microhabitats that sustain aquatic vegetation\, amphibians\, and a variety of invertebrates essential for the local food web.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The agricultural–wetland mosaic of Maharajpura supports a rich diversity of birdlife. Resident species such as egrets\, herons\, mynas\, and bee-eaters are commonly seen around croplands\, while seasonal wetlands attract flocks of migratory ducks\, storks\, and waders during winter. Raptors like kites and harriers patrol the fields\, benefitting from open spaces and prey abundance. Together\, the village\, wetland\, and farmlands make Maharajpura a dynamic cultural and ecological landscape\, illustrating how traditional agriculture and natural habitats continue to coexist and sustain biodiversity in peri-urban Madhya Pradesh.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Vivek VermaA wildlife rescuer and conservationist. He has participated in several bird surveys\, vulture surveys in Tiger Reserves\, National Park\, Wildlife Sanctuary of Madhya Pradesh\, Maharashtra\, Uttar Pradesh\, Rajasthan. ANUBHUTI Master Trainer\, Naturalist\, Bird Watcher and Wildlife Photographer from Gwalior and birding since 6 years.  				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Bird walk Location				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n				\n				\n					Common birds of Maharajpura				\n				\n				\n				\n									Maharajpura’s wetlands and agricultural fields attract a wide variety of common birds that thrive in human-modified landscapes. Around the village ponds and seasonal waterbodies\, egrets\, pond herons\, and little cormorants are frequently seen feeding on fish and amphibians. During winter\, open waters host flocks of migratory ducks such as spot-billed ducks and gadwalls\, while black-winged stilts and red-wattled lapwings are regular along the wetland edges. These water-associated birds not only indicate the ecological health of the wetlands but also add vibrancy to the rural scenery.								\n				\n				\n				\n									In the farmlands and village groves\, species like the rose-ringed parakeet\, common myna\, black drongo\, and Indian roller are everyday sights. Peafowl often forage in harvested fields\, while barn swallows and wagtails can be seen actively feeding on insects in agricultural plots. Raptors such as black kites and shikras circle above\, taking advantage of the open terrain. Together\, these common birds reflect the harmonious mix of agriculture and wetland habitats in Maharajpura\, where resident and migratory species coexist alongside village life.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Pheasant-tailed Jacana				\n				\n				\n				\n					Bronze-winged Jacana				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Cormorant				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Spot-billed Duck				\n				\n				\n				\n					Little Grebe				\n				\n				\n				\n					Painted Stork				\n				\n				\n				\n					Purple Sunbird				\n				\n				\n				\n					Sarus Crane				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Openbill				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Pied Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Laughing Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black-winged Stilt				\n				\n				\n				\n					Baya Weaver				\n				\n				\n				\n					Spotted Owlet				\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									A group of seven bird enthusiasts came together to explore Maharajpura\, one of the emerging birding hotspots in Gwalior\, under the guidance of Vivek Verma. Over the course of the walk\, they recorded an impressive 44 bird species\, including remarkable sightings such as the Siberian Stonechat\, Baya Weaver\, Common Redshank\, Ruff\, Marsh Harrier\, and Painted Stork. The diversity of species highlighted the ecological richness of the area and made the walk a rewarding experience for all participants.								\n				\n				\n				\n									Beyond spotting birds\, the walk also emphasized the deeper value of birdwatching as a mindful and educational activity. Participants learned how observing birds cultivates patience\, sharpens listening skills\, and enhances attention to detail\, while also building a stronger connection with nature. The enthusiasm of the group created a lively atmosphere\, making the Maharajpura bird walk both an enriching and inspiring experience for nature lovers in Gwalior.								\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n							\n			Number of Participants			\n				\n				0
