The bird sanctuary in the Bharatpur district of Rajasthan was named after the Keoladeo (Shiva) temple within its boundaries. It is a famous bird sanctuary that saw thousands of rare and highly endangered species such as the Siberian Crane come here during the winter season. Over 230 species of birds are known to have made the National Park their home. It is also a major tourist center with scores of ornithologists arriving here in the hibernation season. It was declared a protected sanctuary in 1971. It is also a declared World Heritage Site.
Here is what we could spot there, way back in 2012.
Beautiful sunrise in tandem with serenity of the sanctuary!

Morning with chirping of birds –

The birds social life at it’s best. Lots of sharing, discussions and planning for future was happening. they may be discussing their travel tales or future travel planning. 🙂
Reflecting over the future 🙂
Preying alone and still .
