What makes Delhi-NCR a birding hotspot?

Delhi is far from mountains or beaches, it’s a land-locked place, and the weather is extreme at best. Other places have tigers and other exciting wildlife; Delhi at best has the occasional leopard that’s lost its way or nilgai that has wandered off the forest and is now in some gated locality. Where the city lacks in bigger beasts, it sees a remarkable birdlife. And that’s because Delhi and NCR fall directly in the migration path of birds that are on the lookout for warmer wintering grounds.
