Kusheshwar Asthan Bird Sanctuary and Darbhanga

#KusheshwarAsthanBirdSanctuary at #Bihar
On 27th October, we visited the Kusheshwar Asthan Bird Sanctuary, situated 45 km from Darbhanga. The sanctuary was notified in 1994 and it covers 29 square km area. We were very happy after reading news reports about beginning of arrival of waders in Kusheshwar Asthan. When we were about to proceed, I found some Indian starlings are welcoming in the campus of Circuit house of Darbhanga. I captured some snaps and start our journey to Sanctuary with great hope as media reported. When we reached and started touring inside the wetland the media report was not realized by us. However, we sighted some territorial birds; such as Pied Kingfisher, Great Egret, Indian pond heron and Little cormorant. We noticed  folks of migratory birds (50-60 Grey headed lapwings) while returning from the Sanctuary.
