12 year old Sanmit Dalvi is an aspiring birder and a young male member of Pune Ladies birders group who keeps interacting on the PLB whatsapp group through his mother’s account. Sanmit Dalvi’s journey in birding began in the lockdown of 2020 when he knew he couldn’t venture out on field for birding but had to carry on with his newly developed passion for birds sitting at home. So he resorted to books and Google for virtual birding and in no time had his name noteworthy in the India book of records for reciting the names of 505 bird subspecies. This feat got him fame with his name and photos published in newspapers all over Maharashtra. With the support of PLB and its members Sanmit has participated as a young speaker in a number of their events . Alongside birding Sanmit has love for marine life, wildlife, snakes, forests and foresees himself working as a conservationist in the future. Sanmit keeps honing his talent and updating his knowledge by following birding accounts on social media and reading various books.
