The village covers roughly 1\,283 hectares (about 12.8 km²) and supports a small rural population primarily engaged in agriculture and related activities. The landscape around Madhapur is typical of the Deccan plateau region\, with mixed land use that includes agricultural fields\, fallow land\, patches of natural vegetation\, and some small forested portions — about 10 ha reported as forest area within the village boundaries. The habitat is largely dry deciduous scrub and agricultural mosaic\, providing basic cover for local wildlife and birdlife rather than dense forest ecosystem. \n \n \n \n Although the immediate area around Madhapur doesn’t host major protected reserves\, the Adilabad district as a whole is noted for its dry deciduous forests\, teak and bamboo stands\, and rich fauna\, with nearby wildlife areas such as the Kawal and Pranahita sanctuaries supporting a diversity of mammals (e.g.\, deer\, nilgai\, predators) and birds. Telangana as a state has over 500 recorded bird species distributed across wetlands\, forests\, and grasslands\, highlighting the potential for birdwatching and local avifauna even in smaller habitats. \n \n \n \n \n Bird Guide: Chaitanya Reddy KinnerlaShe is a conscious\, nurturing mother of two daughters and the author of a children-led parenting book.

The bright flashes of Green Bee-eaters are a familiar sight as they hawk insects from wires and open perches\, while the striking Hoopoe probes lawns and open ground with its distinctive curved bill. Drongos dominate the skyline\, fearlessly chasing larger birds and adding constant movement to treetops\, alongside sharp-eyed shrikes perched on bushes scanning for prey. The area is also alive with the calls and colours of parakeets\, especially Rose-ringed Parakeets\, which move in noisy flocks between trees and rooftops. Together\, these adaptable species bring nature into the heart of the city\, offering residents and visitors daily encounters with birdlife amid Madhapur’s fast-paced urban setting. \n \n \n \n \n Asian Green Bee-eater \n \n \n \n Black Drongo \n \n \n \n Rose - ringed Parakeet \n \n \n \n Hoopoe \n \n \n \n Grey Francolin \n \n \n \n Red-collared Dove \n \n \n \n Eurasian Collared Dove \n \n \n \n Greater Coucal \n \n \n \n Asian Koel \n \n \n \n Asian Palm Swift \n \n \n \n Red-wattled Lapwing \n \n \n \n Brown Shrike \n \n \n \n Long-tailed Shrike \n \n \n \n Eastern Cattle Egret \n \n \n \n Little Egret \n \n \n \n Shikra \n \n \n \n Common Kingfisher \n \n \n \n Rufous Treepie \n \n \n \n Indian Roller \n \n \n \n Purple Sunbird \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Summary of Walk \n \n \n \n A bird walk was conducted at Madhapur\, Telangana\, led by Chaitanya Reddy Kinnerla for a group of 8 children. The walk was designed to introduce young participants to the fascinating world of birds in a fun and engaging way. Through simple explanations and active observation\, the children learned how to notice bird calls\, colors\, and behaviors\, turning the morning into an exciting outdoor classroom. \n \n \n \n During the walk\, the children observed several common yet charismatic species\, including Coppersmith Barbet\, Red-vented Bulbuls\, Black Drongo\, Shikra\, Purple Sunbird\, and the Lesser Whitethroat.

The walk successfully encouraged a sense of wonder and appreciation for urban biodiversity\, leaving the young participants inspired and more connected to nature. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Number of Participants \n \n 0 URL:https://ww.ataavi.org/event/bird-walk-at-dumna-nature-park-jabalpur-mp/ CATEGORIES:Birding Bharat ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://ww.ataavi.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/dumna.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20260118T110000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20260118T130000 DTSTAMP:20260503T125040 CREATED:20260107T125433Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260121T090855Z UID:8101-1768734000-1768741200@ww.ataavi.org SUMMARY:Bird Walk at Okhla Bird Sanctuary\, Noida DESCRIPTION:Bird Walk at Madhapur\, Telangana \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Telangana\n \n \n \n \n 26 January\, 2026\n \n \n \n \n Chaitanya Reddy Kinnerla\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About Madhapur \n \n \n \n Madhapur is a village in Adilabad district\, Telangana\, India\, situated within the Nirmal mandal approximately 10 km from the sub-district headquarters and about 90 km from the district headquarters.
