The Eurasian Wryneck
Boshipota is a sleepy little village near Dankuni and it is definitely one of the birding hotspots in the greater Calcutta area. Last Christmas Arka, Kshounishda and I went in company with Radhanathda to see birds of Boshipota. In terms of number of species seen it was nothing great. But the quality of photography was really good because of the open nature of the paddy fields. I saw the Eurasian Wryneck for the first time. Got decent photographs of Bluethroat, Common Stonechat, Zitting Cisticola, Prinia and a spotted owlet.

How do you get to Boshipota? Take the Delhi Road off the Durgapur Expressway. From the first cross road turn right. Turn left from Raghunathpur into the village of Boshipota.
