What started initially as a few dozen visiting birds has today become a major migration with the number being recorded at 15,000 in 2010. After a lifetime of protecting the birds, Ratan Lal Maloo or the Birdman of Khichan as he’s fondly known, passed away in 2011 but his legacy in the form of his feathered friends still continues. They return in constantly increasing numbers every winter.
A plot of empty land turned into a haven for birds. This is honestly the purest man to nature relationship one can ever witness.
