The enchanting Tunga valley near Mandagadde is echoed by the chirping sounds of Egrets now.

The arrival of winged beauties from Siberia to Mandagadde near here has commenced. Median Egret, Darter and Little Cormorant arrive to Mandagadde from Siberia in the month of June. They nest here, train the young ones in the art of flying, hunting and start homewards in the month of December.

AHMEDABAD: Nal Sarovar is witnessing some deadly nocturnal activity these days. Delayed monsoon has dried up the lake exposing flamingos and other winged visitors to poachers.

Mumbai: A home to winged visitors to the city is on the verge of destruction.

Around 60-hectare wetland near Phunde village in Uran, just 60 km away from Mumbai, has almost vanished posing a grave threat to the very existence of the migratory birds. Uran is known for rich avifauna like flamingos, painted storks, oriental white ibis, grey heron and others.

THIS is apropos of the report,

Bundala National Park that had once been one of the main tourist attractions in the South is today in a deteriorated state due to human activities. It is the final destination of the flocks of migratory birds from the northern hemisphere during winter.
