Birding in Margalla National Park

I love to spend some time in nature and observe wildlife in Pakistan. Because of the corona pandemic, I have not been doing birding for the past four or five months. This weekend, I decided to visit the Margalla national park. I usually do a 2 km hike to reach my birding spot. In Margalla hills more than 400 bird species live, some are resident birds but most of them are migratory visitors. The first bird, I saw was an Indian blue robin. The male is blue and the female is grey with a yellow chest.

I also saw three species of bulbul on this birding trip. Himalayan bulbul, Red-vented Bulbul, and Black Bulbul. All these bulbuls are very common in Margalla national park but I love to photograph Black bulbul, a very beautiful bird with a red beak.

I spent four to five-hour in birding. I saw many birds in which some birds were a lifer for me like Blue-capped rock thrush. A very beautiful and rare to see the bird in Margalla.

Other birds I saw in this trip were Grey-headed Warbler, the Indian paradise flycatcher, Pied bush chat, White-eyes, White-throated fantail, Yellow-billed Blue Magpie, Black drongo, and Jacobin cuckoo.
