You must be wondering what makes Gurgaon a famous city in the National Capital Region of India, well, I would like to point out that the city is famous for the wildlife that abounds in and around the city! Surprising? Well, Gurgaon stands testimony to the impact of rapid urbanisation and development that did not take into account the famous Painted Storks, Bar-headed Geese, Ducks and other resident species. The net result is that all these wild birds try to co-exist with human beings, in the midst of an urban jungle that they seem to have readily taken over! I have, in my photographs of the famous Painted Storks of Gurgaon attempted to show them against the backdrop of the buildings that have been cropping all over the region like weeds!
I have attempted to share with you a landing sequence of a juvenile Painted Stork that has come up so beautifully. I hope you enjoy the snaps!
But then, wait, you thought Gurgaon is famous for just Painted Storks? No, apart from Painted Storks, there are many more exotic birds that frequent the city. Amongst these are the famous Red-naped Ibis, but then that is for another post.
