Hi All,

Especially arrived for Sunday's birdwalk is the Common buzzard which made today its first appearance.

Besides the Common buzzard we can hope to see various other raptors such as the White eyed buzzard, Eurasian harrier, Pallid harrier, Spotted eagle, White bellied sea eagle, Shikra and, of course, plenty of kites.

Part of the walk will be up hill, a moderate climb, and, at some places on the ground there are sharp stones and occasionally thorns, so good shoes are advisable.

Looking forward meeting you all on Sunday.

With kind regards,
Fionna

Hi all,

The Goa Bird Conservation Network, an informal network of individuals interested in birds and related issues, will conduct a birdwalk this Sunday, the 3^rd of February 2013. The walk will traverse the beautiful Pilerne Plateau, home to many resident and migrant birds. Participants will be introduced to the basic concepts of birdwatching, familiarized with the bird species that we encounter on the walk, and given an idea of the larger conservation issues facing Goa's avifauna in particular and our biodiversity in general. The walk is free and open to all to participate. The meeting spot would be the Pilerne Lake at 7.30 am, the walk is expected to last until 11 am. Those interested in participating may please confirm by sending a mail to rajivdsi...@gmail.com <mailto:rajivdsi...@gmail.com>.

Instructions for participants:

1.Although not essential, please bring along binoculars/cameras/guidebooks if you have them.

2.Please wear dull-coloured clothes. This will enable us to get closer to the birds without startling them.

3.Carry along snacks, drinking water and anything else you may need.

Warm regards,

Rajiv
