No Comments
NagpurBirds website was launched in April 2005 as a support website for birders in Nagpur city. It was based on a modified version of Coppermine Picture gallery, at that time Coppermine served the purpose but with passing of time maintaining the script in sync with the main project become a problem and uploads had to be restricted to Admin only. Year 2012 has seen a surge in birding related activity in Nagpur and there was an urgent need to have a more modern website which was easier to use – the result is the current revamp.
The main features are
- Rewritten from scratch to satisfy bird gallery needs using CakePHP 2.x and Twitter Bootstrap
- Deep integration with Facebook as most birders from the city are preferring it as a media of interaction
- Once logged in the users can upload their own pictures
- Birding trips can be recorded and shared on Facebook
- Powerful search features
- User friendly URL, try http://nagpurbirds.org/tariquesani or http://nagpurbirds.org/bulbul or http://nagpurbirds.org/darter to understand what it means
- Admins can invite photos from Facebook users need not upload a new file
- Tablet friendly site, mobile site and perhaps an app coming soon
Do explore the site to discover more

The Kentish Plover, Charadrius alexandrinus, is a small wader in the plover bird family. Despite its name, this species no longer breeds in Kent, or even Great Britain. It breeds in a wide range, from southern Europe to Japan and in Ecuador, Peru, Chile, the southern United States and the Caribbean.
The North American Committee of the American Ornithologists’ Union and the IOC World Bird List have voted on or before July 2011 to split the American forms into a new species Snowy Plover, however, no other committee has voted to change taxonomy yet. In that light, the American forms can now be found under a separate species listing Snowy Plover,[2]however all forms can still be found here until further actions are taken.
