Bondla and Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary

This is our most recommended and best-selling birding day trip if you are looking to cover maximum forest species from Goa on a single day. The secondary forest in Bondla coupled with the riparian and semi-evergreen forest in Bhagwan Mahavir Sanctuary can make up for a good chunk of the forest species in Goa.

Key Species: Malabar Grey Hornbill, Malabar Pied Hornbill, Nilgiri Flowerpecker, Grey-fronted Green Pigeon, Malabar Starling, Malabar Parakeet, White-rumped Shama, Flame-throated Bulbul, Yellow-browed Bulbul, White-naped Woodpecker, Heart-spotted Woodpecker, White-bellied Woodpecker, Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher, Blue-eared Kingfisher, Malabar Trogon, Sri Lanka Frogmouth, Jerdon's Nightjar, Asian Fairy Bluebird, Brown-breasted Flycatcher, Forest Wagtail, Velvet-fronted Nuthatch.
