About Tughlaqabad-Asola : Asola Bhatti Wildlife Sanctuary, spread over 6,800 acres near Tughlakabad fort in south Delhi. Occupying an area of 6874 acres, the Wildlife Sanctuary is considered the breathing lung of the cosmopolitan city of Delhi. It was established in 1992 with the aim to protect the wildlife in the area between Delhi and Surajkund (Delhi-Haryana border). Much of it is thorn scrub and trees on undulating rocky hills and almost anywhere is worth a look. Characteristic birds include Black-shouldered Kite, Jungle Bush-quail, Indian Bush Lark, Indian Robin, Large Grey Babbler and Long-billed Pipit as well as up to four species of shrike. It is the best site in Delhi for the local Rufous-fronted Prinia (which is very common) and occasionally has the difficult –to-locate Sirkeer Malkoha. Wintering warblers include Orphean, Sulphur-bellied and both Common and Hume's Lesser Whitethroats as well as the ubiquitous Hume’s Warbler. Painted and Chestnut-bellied Sandgrouse are still around in small numbers (look out for parties flighting to water around 0930 am!) and birds of prey in winter could include almost anything. The waste field just south of the main fort is the most reliable site in Delhi for the declining Yellow-wattled Lapwings and up to 12 pairs breed there. It is also good for larks and pipits (including Tawny and Blyth's) and sometimes has a few wheatears (Isabelline, Desert or Varied are the most likely species).The sanctuary is covered by dense forest with varied fauna and flora. It protects common mongoose, small Indian civet, small Indian mongoose, jungle cat, flying fox, porcupine, palm squirrel, spiny tailed lizards, rufus tailed hare and monitor lizards.
