Hi,
http://www.kolkatabirds.com/bharatpur.htm

Bharatpur is a well known nature park for birds. It used to be a duck
hunting park.  It is about 5 kms out of a small town. Check the geotag tag
on freesound, it shows the exact location in the parc that I was at. You can
hear some traffic in the background I think ( could also be the wind).
Theres a lot of storks on that recording. I didn't see or hear any monkeys
there. Not a lot of insects either.

Cheers
Anton
