75 birdwatchers, nature enthusiasts and others took part in bird walks around Manipal to celebrate and recognize the diverse avifauna that thrives here.

Manipal is a small university town located in the Udupi district of Karnataka with a small but active birding community. Almost 50% of the participants each year are people who have never birded before.

Locations to be covered, and the teams covering them.

Of the 20 locations we planned on covering, 17 were covered in the morning, 1 in the evening and another at night. Vinayak Temple – due to shortage of team leaders, had to be scrapped.
