The Bharatpur National Park is a treasure trove of wild birds, resident and migratory. A wide range of Duck species visit the spot during the winter season, and then they fly away to colder regions as summer approaches the Indian continent. Among the migratory birds that visit the park are the Ruddy Shelduck, White Eyed Pochards, and Red-crested Pochards. Incidentally, Ruddy Shelduck birds are also called Surkhab in Hindi.
The large number of birds that descend on the Bharatpur National Park provides photography enthusiasts with a great opportunity to photograph some of the rarely spotted birds. Unfortunately, the weather plays an important role in wildlife photography. Spotting a flock of Northern Shovelers swimming in formation and a flock of Common Coots swimming together can be a most fulfilling experience.
Darters are large water-dwelling birds that have long, slender dagger-like bills. They are also known as snake birds because of their long twisted necks. Ibis birds also have long, curving beaks. They probe the water for food.
