Having started in 1997, the concept of annual birding fair adopted in Rajasthan for conservation of birds is proving successful with the 25th fair going to be organised this month-end on the banks of the historic Man Sagar lake in Jaipur. Wildlife enthusiasts and environmental activists in the State have joined hands for giving a lifetime experience to avid bird watchers.
The visitors, assisted by experts from Keoladeo National Park of Bharatpur, have been observing a large number of beautiful aquatic birds in the 400-year-old lake. Hundreds of nature lovers, bird watchers and students and teachers of local schools, enthused at the opportunity to spot waders in their natural habitat with the help of binoculars, throng the lake banks during the fairs.
