srishti - Manavsthali Apartments - residential society Vasundhara Enclave New Delhi Delhi

I used to put out grains & water in my balcony daily.
There was such a flourish & diversity of birds (& squirrels) that clustered on the balcony to eat & drink.
A pleasure to watch !
And the amount of grains I put out kept increasing - they would devour everything in no time !

But sparrows were always a bit shy & would fly off or not come if we were in the balcony, even if seated quietly.

Sparrows were abundant here till 2 years back. Then they disappeared suddenly.
My theory for their disappearance in this locality : lots of construction work, chopping of trees, creation of parks...previously this area was like a shrubby woodland.

But GOOD NEWS ! On April 24, 2012, I spotted a male sparrow ! Have again spotted a few sparrows since, but only infrequently; unlike the earlier scenario.
Fortunately, I can hear them chirping away merrily :-)

Hope to see many more of them in the coming months.
