New migratory bird joins ever-increasing flock at Surajpur Wetlands
Apart from Asian Warbler, the near-threatened black-necked stork has been an added attraction at the wetlands. A male and a female returned to make a canopy-like nest on a tree and have been breeding this season, officials said.
A rare bird has joined the flock of migratory birds which fly for shelter from across the world to Surajpur Wetlands. Forest authorities say the Asian Desert Warbler, a type of woodland bird, has been spotted in the Surajpur marshes by conservationists and bird watchers.
“These are winter migrant birds which belong to the region of central and western Asia and parts of eastern Europe. They do not fly together in large numbers and it is estimated that approximately four such birds are present in the wetland. They are small in size and light brown in colour. Similar other woodland birds, like woodpeckers, can be distinguished by the sounds they make,” said Ramavtar Singh, forest guard at the Surajpur Wetlands in which the bird sanctuary is located.
