Week1 - VijayawadaWinterWaterbirdCensus

Guess the species :)

In 2020-21 survey, over 30 volunteers contributed to the survey, recording 170+ species from 19 wetlands around Vijayawada city. Omicron restrictions impacted our survey in 2021-22 and we are back again to document the avian life of Vijayawada. More power to Citizen Science

"Kona"-telugu word for a gorge. Many gorges in the Eastern Ghats forests of Andhra pradesh hosts old temples. These are pristine places and amazing habitats to explore. Talakona, Bhairavakona, Penchalakona, Sivakona... the list continues. Preserving these habitats is a priority.

3000+ checklists made on ebird, 40+ locations explored spending hundreds of hours by tens of birders and no sign of it.But, on a heavily overcast morning, when we least expected it, the Rufous bellied Eagle surprised us. Spotted in Tirupati after 31years.Birding never disappoints

Monsoon brings alot of exciting activity in the nature around us. Birds, insects, spiders...exploring this activity, observing, questioning, thinking and stirring more questions... Nature walks with kids is always exciting!!! #citizenscience
