Arun M K Bharos - Duggipar on NH 06, Gondia distt Duggipar Maharashtra

While we drove from Nagpur to Raipur, could not come across many sparrows, which are generally seen along the Highway.

In fact only two could be seen in open areas, other than village.

Two birds were seen 2 Kms before vill Duggipar on the edge along with 2 Common Mynas.

May be due to heat of the day

In that localiy there were no industries and there were a lot of drumstick trees around. Last month when i had been there not a single sparrow was spotted.

There were no biuldings, no traffic, no towers with just 3000 people around in 1983. Sparrows were seen frequently then. In 2001- 2003 sparrows started declining because of no vacant land or any cultivation now. Pondy dry in summers and waterways are polluted. People used to bathe there when it was not polluted. Now they dont.

The number of nests have decreased since 2009. The reason may be deforestations and building of the secretariat residence.

In Raipur city the day temperature touched 43 -0C and days became very hot , to move out.

The heat restricted the birds activities too, they mostly confided to shelter in noon.

Still few species like Laughing Doves,Rock Pigeon , Common Myna & House Sparrows, were active, though not in many numbers.

This was observed by me in Devendranagar colony on 07 April 2010, when day temp was 43-0C
