Weekend Birding Trip to Sultanpur National Park and Chandu Wetland, Raptors & Migratory Birds
This weekend’s birding trip to Sultanpur National Park and the surrounding wetland in Chandu was an extraordinary experience. The weather was sunny and pleasant, adding to the joy of exploring nature.
Upon reaching the park, my fellow birder shared an incredible sighting: they had witnessed an Imperial Eagle hunting the chicks of a Painted Stork. I was fortunate to capture a video of the Imperial Eagle when it returned to the same location. Observing this majestic predator in its natural behavior was a remarkable moment, and it reaffirmed the park’s importance as a haven for wildlife.
After spending over 20 minutes observing the eagle and the vibrant activity around, we headed to a spot where, after a long absence, a Red-crested Pochard had been sighted. Seeing this beautiful migratory duck was an absolute delight, as it added a splash of color and elegance to the day.
Our next stop was the nearby wetland area to search for the elusive Short-eared Owl. However, due to last week’s rain, the wetland was full of water, making it inaccessible to reach the exact spot where the owl was last seen. Despite this setback, nature had plenty more to offer. Among the migratory birds, we were thrilled to witness:
Bar-headed Geese
Black-headed Gulls
Brown-headed Gulls
Long-legged Buzzards
Coots
The resident birds added to the vibrant mix, including:
Greater Flamingos
Kites
Various species of ducks etc
The diversity and activity in the wetlands showcased the critical role these habitats play for both migratory and resident birds. The sights and sounds of these incredible creatures made the trip a memorable one.
I hope you enjoy the video capturing these moments. Please feel free to share it with your family, friends, and relatives to spread the beauty of birding and the importance of preserving such vital ecosystems.
Let’s continue to love, preserve, and work toward the well-being of birds and animals. Together, we can ensure these stunning species thrive for generations to come.
