Birds of Utror, Swat


I recently spent four days in Utror surroundings, in this tour visited Desan, Spinkhwar lake, Shahi Bagh, Gabral, and Karkara lake. Along mesmerizing mountains, waterfalls, lakes, and natural scenes also sighted some beautiful birds.

Shahi Bagh Swat has a feeling of nostalgia in it. The most amazing thing there is part of the land which is like an island, river water flowing there from all directions a wooden bridge connects it. There are many waterfalls and a few glacial lakes on top of mountains. On the upstream side, there is a lush green meadow. The area is covered with pine, almond, and paper trees. Saw some amazing varieties of birds there but sadly did not take tele lens. 
saw this yellow-breasted green finch (female) there
