Ganges River Crossing


Location: 90 km east of Delhi.

Costs: -

Date(s): 21-11-2002 (2 birding hours).

Notes: A walk down to the river on the south-eastern side resulted in some (actually one) birds that we didn’t see elsewhere. (Take some luck if you want to see the dolphin.)

Highlights: Brown-headed Gull (V), Sand Lark (X), Oriental Skylark (V).

Pics:

The Ganges seen from the brigde, halfway between Delhi and Moradabad. It is possible to walk along the river on the east bank of the river (the west bank is mostly inhabited). The agricultural fields south of the bridge held good numbers of larks.
Bank Mynas are abundant in rural areas of India, including the Ganges brigde.
