The bird watching program
was organised by Dr. Anna Neena George for the students of Dr. Dada Vaidya
College of Education Ponda Goa on 26th January. The location for
bird watching was Carambolim Lake. Students boarded the bus at 2: 30 pm from
the college and reached the location at 3:00 pm.
All the students gathered at
the lake and were introduced to Mr. Omkar Dharwadkar and Ms. Mrunmayee Thakur
from Goa Bird Conservation Network. Mr. Dharwadkar first gave an introduction
of bird watching, the reason why birds migrate to different places, and other information.
They also provided us with binoculars.
He sighted the first bird
which was a Little Cormorant. All were amazed seeing the beautiful Little
Cormorant. Every student got a chance to observe it. Soon it was focussed onto
the Brahminy Kite, and this was followed by various other migratory birds. The
program came to an end with the vote of thanks where students shared their
experience.
This session was fun filled
along with being informative. It thoroughly surprised us with the beautiful
variety of birds that we were not expecting to see.
