Swamped among cows, birds





Swamped among cows, birds: About a kilometre from where I live is a bird sanctuary. The National Capital Region's Okhla Bird Sanctuary is a favourite with early morning walkers of east Delhi's Mayur Vihar neighbourhood and Noida. It is basically a wetland that came into being after the construction of the Okhla barrage across the river Yamuna more than 30 years ago. Slowly, this became a stopover for migratory birds during winters. And somebody got the idea of converting it into a bird sanctuary.
