Overview

Goa is a birder’s paradise with many species endemic to peninsular India as well as many wintering species from farther north and more widespread Asian birds calling it home. 

Day 01
Arrival at Goa

Arrive in Goa. You will be met by our representative and transferred to the hotel.

 

Among several sites, we will visit Bhagwan Mahaveer sanctuary and the environs of the camp. We will focus on finding those species that are difficult or impossible to find elsewhere in Goa, with an emphasis on Western Ghats endemics, forest and south Indian specialties, and any other species of interest that has been found in the area. 

 

Within the camp itself you should be able to find some specialties including Malabar Grey Hornbill, Crimson-backed Sunbird, Blue-winged Parakeet, Tickell’s Blue Flycatcher and Malabar Whistling Thrush! At night, you can listen for the calls of owls, nightjars, and Sri Lanka Frogmouth. 

Overnight stay.

Day 02
Goa

A full day of birding in Goa. 

 

Our days begin early with a walk before breakfast, another before lunch, and a final session after afternoon tea, returning for dinner and an evening campfire in the winter months when nights can be cool. Our excursions will take us through a variety of habitats in the local area from dense forests and streamside jungle, to open fields and scrub, as well as watching the Ghats for raptors rising in the thermals, and one evening searching for Jungle Nightjar, Jerdon’s, and Savanna Nightjars at dusk.

 

Overnight stay

Day 03
Goa

You will be transferred to a hotel in Baga or Calangute. This will be our base for much of the following days. After a break we’ll do some local late afternoon birding in the vicinity of our hotel. 

 

We can also search for species such as Crested Serpent Eagle, Brahminy Kite, Black-headed Cuckooshrike, Bar-winged Flycatcher-shrike, Plum-headed Parakeet, and more.

 

Overnight stay.

Day 04
Goa

Another day of birding in Baga or Calangute.

 

From the comfort of a poolside deck chair, cool drink in hand, we can overlook a series of paddy fields and a small marsh - a superb area that is home to many wetland species like Cinnamon and Black Bitterns, Greater Painted-snipe, Watercock, Slaty-breasted Rail, Ruddy-breasted and Baillon’s Crakes, and more.

 

Overnight stay.

Day 05
Goa

We will go to Morjim Beach, where we can look for shorebirds, gulls and terns. Do ask us for a checklist. We expect to encounter Gull-billed, Sandwich, Crested, Lesser Crested and Common Terns, Pallas’s, Brown-headed, Caspian, Slender-billed and Heuglin’s Gulls, Lesser and Greater Sand Plovers, Kentish Plover, Grey Plover, Small Pratincole, Western Reef Heron, and more. Just inland from the beach is an area of trees and scrub surrounding a small village. This area is also well worth checking out for Brahminy Starling, Plum-headed Parakeets, Chestnut-tailed Starling, Red-vented Bulbul, Long-tailed Shrike, and more.

Overnight stay

Day 06
Goa

More birding around Morjim. We will take a drive to Saligao Zor. This area of woodland with its stream where villagers come to wash clothes is a haven for a range of birds, but especially Brown Wood Owl and Malabar Whistling Thrush.At Pilerne, not far from Saligao, is a small rectangular lake which is often covered in considerable amounts of vegetation. Red-wattled Lapwing, White-browed Wagtail, Common Moorhen, Stork-billed Kingfisher, male Painted Snipe, White-breasted Waterhen, Intermediate Egret, White-rumped Munia, Crested Goshawk, Pheasant-tailed Jacana, Bronze-winged Jacana, Cotton Pygmy Goose, Black-capped Kingfisher, Common Kingfisher and Little Cormorant can all be found here.

Ladakh

The Black-necked Crane is one of the many sought-after species for birders visiting Ladakh. The grace of cranes has inspired stories, songs, and even artwork throughout the ages.

Bandhavgarh

Somewhere or the other, we've all heard that we need to get in touch with our inner child. With such a playful nature, it seems these subadult tigers in Bandhavgarh have beaten us to it.

Andamans

The Andaman Teal, previously considered a subspecies of the Sunda Teal, is one of the many sought-after endemics that the islands have to offer.

Uttarakhand

A myriad of beautiful flowers are in bloom at Jungle Lore Birding Lodge, not only enhancing the beauty of the lodge, but attracting many nectar- and insect-feeding birds
