The Powai Lake harbours innumerable water plants. The sparrows hover over the reeds and swoop down on caterpillars and other insects crawling inside the dense vegetation. Once their prey is firmly clasped in their beak, they perch on the promenade to have their meal in peace. The same procedure is repeated multiple times by thousands of sparrows inhabiting the lakeside.The bustling activity of the tiny residents reminds one of a busy marketplace.

Sparrows are delightful to watch. I have mostly seen male and female sparrows hopping about together or in close proximity to each other. These friendly neighbourhood birds are attracted to marigold flowers in search of seeds. So if you scatter a few these flowers on the ground, many sparrows will congregate. If there is a pot of water nearby, nothing could be better to cheer their little hearts.
