Sedentary Birds:Throughout the year a number of species remain in the wetland. Birds like the Long-tailed Tit, Titmouse, Flycatcher, Wild Pigeon and Magpie all stay throughout the year. Also it has been witnessed that occasionally some of the Summer and Winter Migratory birds turned to sedentary birds due to the favorable conditions of Upo.

Famous quotes containing the word birds:

“In a herber green, asleep where I lay,
The birds sang sweet in the mids of the day;
I dreamed fast of mirth and play.
In youth is pleasure, in youth is pleasure.”
—Robert Wever (fl. C. 1550)

“The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth,
One is nearer God’s Heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth.”
—Dorothy Frances Gurney (1858–1932)

“We must not make a scarecrow of the law,
Setting it up to fear the birds of prey,
And let it keep one shape, till custom make it
Their perch and not their terror.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
