- 9. Observations and Trends : Turahalli Forest • Most common birds observed in forest were sunbirds, bulbuls and bee-eaters. Drongos and Robins were also common. • More diversity observed in forest. • Different birds observed in different areas of the forest. • Bee-eaters were observed mostly in clearings. • Sunbirds on many flowering trees and shrubs • White-cheeked barbets and orioles were often to be found near fig or banyan trees • Drongos were observed everywhere. • Increase in sightings and diversity during palash bloom in January (Early bloom due to drought)
- 10. Observations and Trends : Agara Lake • Most common birds observed at Agara lake were egrets and waders. • Storks observed at Agara lake starting December end. More species of storks and waders observed during January. • Fewer storks and larger migratory birds observed towards end of February, perhaps due to sharp rise in temperature. • The lake is not artificially bunded and hence has a good number of waders foraging in the shallows. Fish also seems to be abundant in spite of poor monsoon and less water. • Sightings drastically reduced on days with human fishing activity. More kites, kingfishers and egrets observed on such days.
- 11. Observations and Trends : Wasteland • Most common birds observed in wasteland area were Myna, Coucal and Rose-ringed Parakeet. • The area is mostly suburban scrub area, with houses, grain godowns, bushes, grass and occasionally large fig and banyan trees. This seems to suits the foraging behavior of these birds. • A couple of large banyan trees are present at the edge of the city and Indian grey hornbills were sighted here a couple of times. • A rare sighting was Blue-faced Malkoha and Sirkeer Malkoha on the same day and never again.
