Black Ibis Flock at GGSIP University Campus, Dwarka, Delhi  During a bright glittery morning of March while morning walk around 5:00 am  of 2013. I saw some large sized birds around my play ground at GGSIPU campus, Dwarka, New Delhi.  It was not an usual bird watch for me. I went to ground to see them and captured the presence of these birds on my camera.  There is forest cover encircling the campus trailing one of the longest sewage drains in Delhi “the Najagfarh drain” which passes along the University. F orested embankments of Najafgarh drain are currently classified as and are featured in  Protected Forests  and RECORDED FORESTS (NOTIFIED FOREST AREAS IN DELHI).  It has become a preferred destination for both migratory and resident birds flocking. It is quite a close to nature place in Delhi. These birds were identified as Red headed ibis which were in a group for food trail early in the morning. these are given Least Concern (LC)   category was assigned  in IUC
