Assan Barrage: my favourtie picnic spot

By Anjali Panwar, (IV)
John Martyn Memorial School
From our school, John Martyn, Classes fourth and fifth were taken to Assan Barrage in February 2009. There I saw different kinds of birds which had come from other cold countries like Russia. During the winter months, when it snows in the cold countries, the birds migrate to India. They live in Bharatpur, Sultanpur and Assan Barrage.
They make these bird sanctuaries their temporary home and go back in March. The birds were so beautiful and colourful. They were large ones like the cranes and small ones like the martins and terns. There were many different kinds of ducks and geese too.
We must care for these birds. We should not cut trees and let our lakes run dry. We should not throw garbage in the water as it harms the birds and kills them. We should look after places like Assan Barrage, the home of birds.
