This is a record of wildlife spotted around the Pelkhil campus. More entries will be put up as and when they are identified and photographed. If you have seen any wildlife species not on the list, please send us a photo or even a verbal report. We will attempt to identify the animal/bird/insect and put up photos on this page.
With the spread of urbanization, the density and variety of wildlife has fallen dramatically over the past 30 years. However, we are occasionally blessed by the visits of our old friends.
