once again echoing with the sounds of migratory birds, with their numbers rising significantly as temperatures drop.<\/p>\n<p>About Sultanpur National Park:<\/p>\n<p>Sultanpur National Park, formerly known as Sultanpur Bird Sanctuary, is located in the Gurgaon district in Haryana, 46 km from Delhi.<\/p>\n<p>Spanning 1.42 sq.km., it consists primarily of marshy lakes and floodplains.<\/p>\n<p>It includes a core area of 1.21 sq. km containing the main Sultanpur Lake\/Jheel.<\/p>\n<p>The Sultanpur Jheel is a seasonal freshwater wetland with fluctuating water levels throughout the year.<\/p>\n<p>This shallow lake is mostly fed by waters from River Yamuna\u2019s Gurgaon canal and the overflowing waters of the neighboring agricultural lands.<\/p>\n<p>It gained national attention in the late 1960s due to the conservation efforts of ornithologists Peter Michel Jackson and Dr. Salim Ali, who frequently visited the site for birding.<\/p>\n<p>It was recognised as a Ramsar site in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>It has been identified as an Important Bird Area by BirdLife International.<\/p>\n<p>Flora: The vegetation of this park is tropical and dry deciduous, and the flora includes grasses, dhok, khair, tendu, ber, jamun, banyan tree, neem, berberis, Acacia nilotica, and Acacia tortilis.<\/p>\n<p>Fauna:<\/p>\n<p>Over 320 bird species have been recorded at Sultanpur, making it a vital wintering ground.<\/p>\n<p>It forms a part of the \u2018Central Asian Migratory Flyway\u2019 and thousands of migratory birds from the countries of Russia, Turkey, Afghanistan, and Europe visit the park during the winter months.<\/p>\n<p>Winter Migrants: Greater Flamingos, Northern Pintails, Eurasian Wigeons, Common Teals, and Bar-headed Geese.<\/p>\n<p>Resident Birds: Indian Peafowl, Red-wattled Lapwings, Cattle Egrets, and White-throated Kingfishers.<\/p>\n<p>Rare\/Threatened Species: Sarus Crane, Black-necked Stork, and Indian Courser have been recorded here.<\/p>\n<p>Other faunal species, such as Nilgai, Sambar, Golden jackals, wild dog, striped hyenas, Indian porcupine, mongoose, etc., are also found here.<\/p>\n<p>Hence option c is the correct answer.<\/p>\n<p>News:
