SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Pashan Lake\, Pune
DESCRIPTION:Bird Walk at Farmus Farms\, Gurugram				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n							\n											\n													\n										Gurugram\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										12 October\, 2025\n									\n								\n											\n													\n										\n									\n						\n						\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					About Farmus Farms				\n				\n				\n				\n									Farmus Farms\, located on the outskirts of Gurugram\, spans a lush stretch of organic farmland that serves as a rare green refuge amid the city’s rapidly expanding urban landscape. The area is characterized by a mosaic of cultivated fields\, fruit orchards\, open grass patches\, and small water bodies that together create a thriving microhabitat for birds. This blend of natural and semi-managed vegetation attracts a wide diversity of resident and visiting species\, from insect-eating warblers and prinias to doves\, bulbuls\, and drongos. Early mornings often echo with the calls of Red-vented Bulbuls\, Laughing Doves\, Indian Robins\, and Ashy Prinias\, while Bee-eaters\, Kingfishers\, and Cattle Egrets can be seen foraging along the water channels. The open sky above the fields also draws Black Kites and Shikras\, adding to the dynamic birdlife that thrives within this green haven.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The habitat type at Farmus Farms can be described as agro-ecological mixed landscape\, supporting both cultivated and natural vegetation—an increasingly rare feature in Gurugram’s urban matrix. Its importance lies not only in offering foraging and nesting opportunities for birds but also in acting as an ecological corridor that connects smaller green pockets in the region. Conservation efforts here are centered around maintaining organic and pesticide-free practices\, ensuring that insect populations remain stable for avian food webs. Bird walks organized at Farmus Farms play a key role in raising awareness among visitors about urban biodiversity\, sustainable farming\, and the interdependence of agriculture and avifauna. This makes Farmus Farms a living example of how responsible land use can nurture both people and wildlife in harmony.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: MansiNature educator and birding guide with Midori Walks\, Mansi blends ecology and mindfulness to create enriching outdoor experiences in urban green spaces. 				\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird walk Location				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Common birds of Farmus Farm				\n				\n				\n				\n									Farmus Farms in Gurugram hosts an impressive variety of birdlife that thrives amidst its organic fields\, orchards\, and water channels. The most striking sights often come from its wetlands and edges\, where birds such as the White-breasted Waterhen\, Red-wattled Lapwing\, Pond Heron\, and Cattle Egret can be seen foraging for insects and small aquatic prey. The Red-naped Ibis\, with its dark plumage and distinctive scarlet patch on the head\, is a frequent visitor to open fields and damp patches\, adding a regal presence to the landscape. Early mornings are filled with the calls of the Asian Koel and the deep resonant notes of the Greater Coucal\, while the energetic Common Hawk-Cuckoo—famously known as the “Brainfever bird”—adds to the farm’s lively soundscape. Perched on electric lines or fences\, Asian Green Bee-eaters and White-throated Kingfishers dazzle with their colors as they swoop down to catch insects.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The orchards and hedgerows provide perfect shelter for smaller species such as the Ashy Prinia\, Yellow-bellied Tailorbird\, Jungle Babbler\, and Red-vented Bulbul\, which are often seen in flocks chattering among the foliage. The Brown-headed Barbet and Coppersmith Barbet fill the air with their repetitive\, rhythmic calls from tree canopies\, while the Black Drongo and Rufous Treepie display their agility in mid-air pursuits. Common urban-adapted species like the Common Myna and Eurasian Collared Dove are abundant around human activity zones within the farm\, reflecting the coexistence of agriculture and urban avifauna. Together\, these twenty species represent a thriving ecosystem where open fields\, fruiting trees\, and small wetlands converge—making Farmus Farms not just a productive agricultural space\, but also a vibrant refuge for birds in the heart of Gurugram.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Common Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Coucal				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eastern Cattle Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown-headed Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian-collared Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rufous Treepie				\n				\n				\n				\n					Ashy Prinia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-naped Ibis				\n				\n				\n				\n					Jungle Babbler				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Hawk Cuckoo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Koel				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					Summary of Walk				\n				\n				\n				\n									A delightful bird walk was held at Farmus Farms\, Gurugram\, led by Mansi\, bringing together a cheerful group of 12 participants\, including children and adults of varied age groups.

The area is characterized by a mosaic of cultivated fields\, fruit orchards\, open grass patches\, and small water bodies that together create a thriving microhabitat for birds. This blend of natural and semi-managed vegetation attracts a wide diversity of resident and visiting species\, from insect-eating warblers and prinias to doves\, bulbuls\, and drongos. Early mornings often echo with the calls of Red-vented Bulbuls\, Laughing Doves\, Indian Robins\, and Ashy Prinias\, while Bee-eaters\, Kingfishers\, and Cattle Egrets can be seen foraging along the water channels. The open sky above the fields also draws Black Kites and Shikras\, adding to the dynamic birdlife that thrives within this green haven.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The habitat type at Farmus Farms can be described as agro-ecological mixed landscape\, supporting both cultivated and natural vegetation—an increasingly rare feature in Gurugram’s urban matrix. Its importance lies not only in offering foraging and nesting opportunities for birds but also in acting as an ecological corridor that connects smaller green pockets in the region. Conservation efforts here are centered around maintaining organic and pesticide-free practices\, ensuring that insect populations remain stable for avian food webs. Bird walks organized at Farmus Farms play a key role in raising awareness among visitors about urban biodiversity\, sustainable farming\, and the interdependence of agriculture and avifauna. This makes Farmus Farms a living example of how responsible land use can nurture both people and wildlife in harmony.								\n				\n				\n		\n		\n				\n				\n					Partnered with				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: MansiNature educator and birding guide with Midori Walks\, Mansi blends ecology and mindfulness to create enriching outdoor experiences in urban green spaces. 				\n				\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird walk Location				\n				\n				\n				\n																														\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Common birds of Farmus Farm				\n				\n				\n				\n									Farmus Farms in Gurugram hosts an impressive variety of birdlife that thrives amidst its organic fields\, orchards\, and water channels.

The Red-naped Ibis\, with its dark plumage and distinctive scarlet patch on the head\, is a frequent visitor to open fields and damp patches\, adding a regal presence to the landscape. Early mornings are filled with the calls of the Asian Koel and the deep resonant notes of the Greater Coucal\, while the energetic Common Hawk-Cuckoo—famously known as the “Brainfever bird”—adds to the farm’s lively soundscape. Perched on electric lines or fences\, Asian Green Bee-eaters and White-throated Kingfishers dazzle with their colors as they swoop down to catch insects.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The orchards and hedgerows provide perfect shelter for smaller species such as the Ashy Prinia\, Yellow-bellied Tailorbird\, Jungle Babbler\, and Red-vented Bulbul\, which are often seen in flocks chattering among the foliage. The Brown-headed Barbet and Coppersmith Barbet fill the air with their repetitive\, rhythmic calls from tree canopies\, while the Black Drongo and Rufous Treepie display their agility in mid-air pursuits. Common urban-adapted species like the Common Myna and Eurasian Collared Dove are abundant around human activity zones within the farm\, reflecting the coexistence of agriculture and urban avifauna. Together\, these twenty species represent a thriving ecosystem where open fields\, fruiting trees\, and small wetlands converge—making Farmus Farms not just a productive agricultural space\, but also a vibrant refuge for birds in the heart of Gurugram.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Common Myna				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-breasted Waterhen				\n				\n				\n				\n					Greater Coucal				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eastern Cattle Egret				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Green Bee-eater				\n				\n				\n				\n					Brown-headed Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Coppersmith Barbet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Black Drongo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Eurasian-collared Dove				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rose-ringed Parakeet				\n				\n				\n				\n					Rufous Treepie				\n				\n				\n				\n					Ashy Prinia				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-naped Ibis				\n				\n				\n				\n					Jungle Babbler				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-vented Bulbul				\n				\n				\n				\n					White-throated Kingfisher				\n				\n				\n				\n					Common Hawk Cuckoo				\n				\n				\n				\n					Indian Pond Heron				\n				\n				\n				\n					Red-wattled Lapwing				\n				\n				\n				\n					Asian Koel				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							\n			\n						\n		\n						\n				\n					\n				\n		\n					\n		\n				\n				\n					Summary of Walk				\n				\n				\n				\n									A delightful bird walk was held at Farmus Farms\, Gurugram\, led by Mansi\, bringing together a cheerful group of 12 participants\, including children and adults of varied age groups.

The area is characterized by a mosaic of cultivated fields\, fruit orchards\, open grass patches\, and small water bodies that together create a thriving microhabitat for birds. This blend of natural and semi-managed vegetation attracts a wide diversity of resident and visiting species\, from insect-eating warblers and prinias to doves\, bulbuls\, and drongos. Early mornings often echo with the calls of Red-vented Bulbuls\, Laughing Doves\, Indian Robins\, and Ashy Prinias\, while Bee-eaters\, Kingfishers\, and Cattle Egrets can be seen foraging along the water channels. The open sky above the fields also draws Black Kites and Shikras\, adding to the dynamic birdlife that thrives within this green haven.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The habitat type at Farmus Farms can be described as agro-ecological mixed landscape\, supporting both cultivated and natural vegetation—an increasingly rare feature in Gurugram’s urban matrix. Its importance lies not only in offering foraging and nesting opportunities for birds but also in acting as an ecological corridor that connects smaller green pockets in the region. Conservation efforts here are centered around maintaining organic and pesticide-free practices\, ensuring that insect populations remain stable for avian food webs. Bird walks organized at Farmus Farms play a key role in raising awareness among visitors about urban biodiversity\, sustainable farming\, and the interdependence of agriculture and avifauna.

The Red-naped Ibis\, with its dark plumage and distinctive scarlet patch on the head\, is a frequent visitor to open fields and damp patches\, adding a regal presence to the landscape. Early mornings are filled with the calls of the Asian Koel and the deep resonant notes of the Greater Coucal\, while the energetic Common Hawk-Cuckoo—famously known as the “Brainfever bird”—adds to the farm’s lively soundscape. Perched on electric lines or fences\, Asian Green Bee-eaters and White-throated Kingfishers dazzle with their colors as they swoop down to catch insects.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The orchards and hedgerows provide perfect shelter for smaller species such as the Ashy Prinia\, Yellow-bellied Tailorbird\, Jungle Babbler\, and Red-vented Bulbul\, which are often seen in flocks chattering among the foliage.

The area is characterized by a mosaic of cultivated fields\, fruit orchards\, open grass patches\, and small water bodies that together create a thriving microhabitat for birds. This blend of natural and semi-managed vegetation attracts a wide diversity of resident and visiting species\, from insect-eating warblers and prinias to doves\, bulbuls\, and drongos. Early mornings often echo with the calls of Red-vented Bulbuls\, Laughing Doves\, Indian Robins\, and Ashy Prinias\, while Bee-eaters\, Kingfishers\, and Cattle Egrets can be seen foraging along the water channels. The open sky above the fields also draws Black Kites and Shikras\, adding to the dynamic birdlife that thrives within this green haven.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The habitat type at Farmus Farms can be described as agro-ecological mixed landscape\, supporting both cultivated and natural vegetation—an increasingly rare feature in Gurugram’s urban matrix. Its importance lies not only in offering foraging and nesting opportunities for birds but also in acting as an ecological corridor that connects smaller green pockets in the region. Conservation efforts here are centered around maintaining organic and pesticide-free practices\, ensuring that insect populations remain stable for avian food webs. Bird walks organized at Farmus Farms play a key role in raising awareness among visitors about urban biodiversity\, sustainable farming\, and the interdependence of agriculture and avifauna.

The area is characterized by a mosaic of cultivated fields\, fruit orchards\, open grass patches\, and small water bodies that together create a thriving microhabitat for birds. This blend of natural and semi-managed vegetation attracts a wide diversity of resident and visiting species\, from insect-eating warblers and prinias to doves\, bulbuls\, and drongos. Early mornings often echo with the calls of Red-vented Bulbuls\, Laughing Doves\, Indian Robins\, and Ashy Prinias\, while Bee-eaters\, Kingfishers\, and Cattle Egrets can be seen foraging along the water channels. The open sky above the fields also draws Black Kites and Shikras\, adding to the dynamic birdlife that thrives within this green haven.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The habitat type at Farmus Farms can be described as agro-ecological mixed landscape\, supporting both cultivated and natural vegetation—an increasingly rare feature in Gurugram’s urban matrix. Its importance lies not only in offering foraging and nesting opportunities for birds but also in acting as an ecological corridor that connects smaller green pockets in the region. Conservation efforts here are centered around maintaining organic and pesticide-free practices\, ensuring that insect populations remain stable for avian food webs.

This blend of natural and semi-managed vegetation attracts a wide diversity of resident and visiting species\, from insect-eating warblers and prinias to doves\, bulbuls\, and drongos. Early mornings often echo with the calls of Red-vented Bulbuls\, Laughing Doves\, Indian Robins\, and Ashy Prinias\, while Bee-eaters\, Kingfishers\, and Cattle Egrets can be seen foraging along the water channels.

Its importance lies not only in offering foraging and nesting opportunities for birds but also in acting as an ecological corridor that connects smaller green pockets in the region. Conservation efforts here are centered around maintaining organic and pesticide-free practices\, ensuring that insect populations remain stable for avian food webs.

This blend of natural and semi-managed vegetation attracts a wide diversity of resident and visiting species\, from insect-eating warblers and prinias to doves\, bulbuls\, and drongos. Early mornings often echo with the calls of Red-vented Bulbuls\, Laughing Doves\, Indian Robins\, and Ashy Prinias\, while Bee-eaters\, Kingfishers\, and Cattle Egrets can be seen foraging along the water channels.

Its importance lies not only in offering foraging and nesting opportunities for birds but also in acting as an ecological corridor that connects smaller green pockets in the region. Conservation efforts here are centered around maintaining organic and pesticide-free practices\, ensuring that insect populations remain stable for avian food webs.

The area is characterized by a mosaic of cultivated fields\, fruit orchards\, open grass patches\, and small water bodies that together create a thriving microhabitat for birds. This blend of natural and semi-managed vegetation attracts a wide diversity of resident and visiting species\, from insect-eating warblers and prinias to doves\, bulbuls\, and drongos. Early mornings often echo with the calls of Red-vented Bulbuls\, Laughing Doves\, Indian Robins\, and Ashy Prinias\, while Bee-eaters\, Kingfishers\, and Cattle Egrets can be seen foraging along the water channels. The open sky above the fields also draws Black Kites and Shikras\, adding to the dynamic birdlife that thrives within this green haven.								\n				\n				\n				\n									The habitat type at Farmus Farms can be described as agro-ecological mixed landscape\, supporting both cultivated and natural vegetation—an increasingly rare feature in Gurugram’s urban matrix. Its importance lies not only in offering foraging and nesting opportunities for birds but also in acting as an ecological corridor that connects smaller green pockets in the region. Conservation efforts here are centered around maintaining organic and pesticide-free practices\, ensuring that insect populations remain stable for avian food webs. Bird walks organized at Farmus Farms play a key role in raising awareness among visitors about urban biodiversity\, sustainable farming\, and the interdependence of agriculture and avifauna.
