On the occasion of Bird week, birdwatching trail was organized on 5th November 2023 by leading a group of 14 participants. Bhandup Pumping Station (BPS) is a famous birding area in Mumbai adjacent to the salt pans and mangrove area which provide shelter to many migratory as well as resident birds. The response from participants was encouraging Mr. Nandkishor Dudhe Programme Officer (BNHS-EIACP) explained about the bird diversity present in that area. The highlight of the trail was the sighting of 36 species of birds, including Migratory and resident. The BNHS-EIACP staff Ms. Natasha Girkar helped in organising the events.
