I welcome all the birders and nature lovers to this egroup. Birds of Pune is a group formed for communications of individual experiences, news, programmes, latest development, ideas and discussion for conservation of bird/avian life & nature. To join this group members don’t have to be necessarily from the places covered by the group. Pune City has in its vicinity wetlands, hills(tekdis), marshes, forests and grasslands. As a result, varied species of birds (including migratory birds) are seen through out the year. There are several birders staying in different parts of the city. Due to the distances and the city traffic, it’s difficult to assemble at one place and exchange notes. Birds of Pune Group provide such a meeting place. This is not a serious scientific group. Please feel free to post your notes and observations.
Mission: Each punekar should know basic facts about the birds.If every person creates a basic interest about birds in 5 persons, we will be near to completion of our mission.

"It is not the strongest of the species that survive,nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."
