Over 28,000 birds found in Sultanpur national park during 2nd statewide bird count

More than 28,000 birds of 124 different species were spotted in Sultanpur National Park during the second statewide bird count, the state wildlife department said on Sunday.

Gurugram Circle’s Forest (Wildlife) Chief Conservation Officer MS Malik said besides Sultanpur Park, bird counts were also conducted at Bhindawas Bird Sanctuary and Najafgarh Jheel as well as other wetlands in the state.

“A total of 28,026 birds of 126 different species can be seen in Sultanpur Park alone. The number of birds observed at other sites is still being recorded,” Malik said.

He said the bird count began in Sultanpur at 9.30am on Sunday.

“The information gleaned from these statistics will help us plan better wildlife management strategies,” Malik said.

Some of the birds observed in Sultanpur Park on Sunday included great spotted eagles, kestrels, white-tailed mallards, black-tailed sandpipers and others, forest department officials said.

“Over 28,000 birds were spotted in Sultanpur National Park during Sunday’s bird count. The focus was on Ramsar wetlands, but bird counts were conducted in all wetlands in the state. Seeing so many species shows that The habitat is in good condition and this will help us maintain baseline data,” said Rajesh Chahal, Gurugram Wildlife Inspector.

In the 2020 winter baseline count, 213 bird species were observed in Gulgram.

In August last year, Sultanpur National Park was listed as Ramsar Wetland – a wetland of international importance declared by the Federal Ministry of Environment. The Bhindawas Wildlife Sanctuary has also been notified as Ramsar Wetland, making the two sanctuaries the first of their kind in Haryana.

Experts say such bird populations are a welcome move because they help create a database that can be further used to improve habitats or wetlands.

Pankaj Gupta, a bird watcher at the Delhi Bird Foundation, said: “It is a good thing to have a statewide bird count as it helps to create an official database that can be used to protect and protect wetlands in the future. This year, It was interesting to see birds such as Great Brine and Penduline Tit in the wetlands around Sultanpur as they have been spotted regularly since the past two months, which is not common in Delhi NCR.”

Nikhil Devasar, founder of the Delhi Birds Foundation, said: “It is good news to see 124 species of birds in Sultanpur National Park alone. On average, more than 100 different species can be seen during morning bird walks “It’s just the number of protected areas, there are definitely more birds in the wetlands outside the boundaries of the protected areas.”

Recalling how Amrita Singh prevented Saif Ali Khan from endorsing his movie Pehla Nasha, Deepak Tijori “I was shocked by it.”

Recently, Deepak Tijori revealed some startling trivia about his 1990 film Pehla Nasha. He remembered when Saif was urged not to promote the film by Amrita Singh.

Tipppsy, the next film directed by Deepak Tijori, marks his return to directing. The actor-director is never afraid to speak openly about his colleagues. In a recent Zoom TV interview, Deepak remembered that Amrita Singh had previously advised Saif Ali Khan not to back Deepak’s movie Pehla Nasha.

In addition to starring in several films in the 1990s with Shah Rukh Khan, Rahul Roy, and Aamir Khan, Deepak also portrayed the lead in Pehla Nasha. The actor revealed that there was a scene in the Ashuotsh Gowariker-directed movie when Saif, Rahul Roy, Aamir Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan made cameo appearances.

According to Deepak Tijori, Amrita Singh prevented Saif Ali Khan from endorsing his movie.

When asked if Bollywood performers were friendly at parties but did not promote one other’s films, he responded, “Yeah, I guess I could probably tell you a personal experience.” I am referring about 1993 here. We were working on a movie named Pehla Nasha back in 1993. Surprisingly, there was a moment in the movie when everyone wants celebrities to attend a character’s debut. We had buddies, and the director was Ashutosh Gowariker. Therefore, I was taken aback when this particular occurrence occurred.”

According to Deepak, Amrita advised Saif not to back him.

He went on, “It seems that Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, and Aamir Khan were on their way.” Thus, Saif was reading, and this was similar to his interpretation of it when he got ready at home. Amrita Singh, his former spouse, questioned him, “What are you doing?” To what destination are you heading? “I’m heading to a premiere,” he declared. I’m heading out to shoot. I’m going to be involved with Deepak’s debut. “Really?” was her question. In what way is this possible? You know, we never did all these things. Who takes this action? similar to when you go and help someone on a premiere. That was a moment, then, and I was shocked by it. Evidently, something didn’t truly exist back then (days).
