WELCOME!
Birds of India is a free
resource proving information on Indian birds and on birding in
India.
India is a birding hotspot with over 1,240 bird species (13% of
world) listed from the country. From the highest Himalaya to
the great mangrove forest delta in the Sundarbans the land is unique.
It is home for some of the most sought after
wild birds in the world.
Birds of India pulls together the finest birders and bird
photographers to showcase Indian birds
in one place. Originally started as 'Birds of Kolkata' in 2001 the
site has since grown.
Today it aspires to be a complete Indian birding resource with
images of over 1050 species, checklists, trip reports, site reviews
and much more.
The
site is educational and the expectation is to generate awareness and
interest in the avian wealth of India to aid conservation.
Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you
had a rewarding experience and will visit us again!
