Wonder how long can the sight be as below...!

A home away from home for the migrants who never fail to turn up in spite of the deteriorating environmental conditions... to delight us and scores of wildlife lovers!

and not to forget the common birds who pose for us like this with all elegance and grace!

Where will they go, what will they do, how will they survive ?

Will I ever see them again :( Will the grassland survive to host all of the wonderful migrant specimens again next year? Will it remain as one of the very few grasslands around Bangalore despite urbanization?

All questions and no answers!?!

Hesaraghatta Grassland - Some PostcardsI

Hesaraghatta grasslands in Bangalore are always a treat during the winter months specifically as its famous for the visiting raptors from all across the world and from the north too. Kestrels, Harriers, Falcons, Chats, Pipits, Larks and it also supports a whole variety of resident species too.

Presenting some of my takes from the wonderful place.

Unfortunately, the lone surviving grassland in the near vicinity of bangalore is in threat of losing its identity and birds as the government has other ideas for its beautification and promoting it as a tourist spot.

I would request you to lend your support against this by signing this petition here -
