text: In India, most migratory birds start coming in from September (after the monsoons) and leave by April (or before the monsoons). The migratory birds come to India, to spend the winter because their breeding grounds are low on food, because it would be winter there and almost everything would be frozen. Most of the birds which comes to India are known to come from Europe and Central asia. Some of the famous ones include waterfowl like the Bar-headed Geese and eagles like the Steppe Eagle apart from several wading birds like the common Sandpiper and so on. \n\nWhile winter migrants are most common in India, there are also summer migrants. These are birds which come to India during the summer to breed. Most of them are local migrants (ex:- Indian Pitta), that is, migrate within India.
