Many of the bird species in Lalbagh have been sighted in smaller gardens in the neighbourhood
A little into the lockdown both this year and in 2020, videos, photos and write-ups of peafowl (the peacock is just the male) started popping up on social media and in the news. And there were videos from Lalbagh too. Though people had reported sightings of peafowl sporadically in the past from there, it was never frequent. But with the lockdown, they were there right along Krumbiegel Road too.
This year again, the birds seem to have moved in right after the lockdown was implemented, albeit a little faster. Two of them, both females, were sighted in various parts of Lalbagh.
