Question

There are over a dozen waterbodies in a 50 km radius around the city of Nashik. The largest and
most beautiful of them is Nandur Madhmeshwar Bird Sanctuary, known as the Bharatpur of
the confluence of two rivers, Kadwa and Godavari, and plays host to thousands of migratory birds
22. Read the following passage carefully.
Maharashtra
Islands of reeds float in this vast waterbody created by the backwaters of the Nandur dam. It's a
every year
. The guests include demoiselle cranes, pratincoles, wooly-necked storks, mallards
Eurasian spoonbills, bar-headed geese and brahminy ducks.
As you gaze at them wide-eyed, you wonder what makes them take up this annual pilgrimage. Is it
to escape the harsh winter in their homelands or just a strong desire to travel? To reach their
winter homes, they undertake a journey that lasts days and nights, flying nonstop through hostile
landscapes, across oceans, guided only by the cells in their bodies.
The striking difference between Bharatpur in Rajasthan and Nandur in Maharashtra is the sheer
accessibility of the two waterbodies. In Bharatpur, there is a network of pathways that extend
through the park. You can observe the birds from up close while cycling along these paths or ona
boat ride through the sanctuary. At Nandur though, you don't have the luxury of such a network
The birds have to be watched from the watchtowers built along the periphery of the park.
This year the lake is only expected to be full by the third week of January. Their return flight is
usually in February, but it may get delayed by a month. Changing climatic patterns have affected
even the lives of these birds living thousands of miles away.
