ello fellow Steemians and bird lovers!
Today, I am going to write about the birds I found in my college: Indian institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal (IISER-B).
The campus of IISER-B, is located in central India in the state of Madhya Pradesh.

(An over-edited view of IISER-B campus 😀 | © https://students.iiserb.ac.in)</sup> Since winters in India are a time when a number of migratory birds visit the country..we were tasked with cataloging the bird-diversity of our campus. We had to work in a tight schedule and spent not more than 8 hrs. in total on this task. So, the photographs are definitely not the best, but they did our work!

This will be more of a list of the birds we found and iddentified during this period of 5 days (approx.)...
