On 5th November ,2012 at 7 am we were to meet at the school premises from where it was over to our teacher . About after xl minutes drive we were at the CHINTAMANI KAR BIRD SANCTUARY in N arendrapur , Kolkata .It Is one of the most oldest Bird sanctuaries in Kolkata and situated away from the hustle and bustle of the city . As we entered the sanctuary the pristine greenery of the place made us speechless because in cities only we can see the highrises,malls, multiplexes and lots of vehicles running over .The huge trees , the dense foliage and the silence thrilled us all. We were filled with inquisitiveness and the strong swear to explore . Slowly we were escorted into the sanctuary and then it was never before . Beautiful trees , creepers , canopies, different variety of Butterflies , Moths, Birds ,Squirrels and new(prenominal) beauties of nature greeted us . As we headed inside , we got the glimpses of a Black Drongo , some Red Vented Bulbuls , a Black Headed Oreol ,Purple Heron , Common Sparrows , Cormorants etc. Our teacher spotted the common Kingfisher targeting his breakfast delights . The interior of the sanctuary resembled dense forest . After exploring the sanctuary we realised how beautiful nature is and what I had been missing .There was in addition a small lake which was centrally located .There in the lake were Lesser Whistling Ducks , Pochards and other aquatic birds. Soon it was time to return . We came back to school with the fond memories of the visit . The visit to the sanctuary was not only a new experience for us but also very enriching .

I would like to thank our school for providing us such great opportunities and hope to have some more like this in near future.
