The existence of amazing bittern or Eurasian bittern is a sub-family of this heron, whereas white browed fantail strains across tropical areas of Indian sub-continent and South-East Asia.
However, these birds are seen and added into the list of listed birds located in Goa for the very first time.

The habitats are extremely readily accessible and you could travel from the shore to the dense woods within a matter of hours.
One can sight lots of the Western Ghats endemics really readily here,” Goa Bird Conservation Network’s Omkar Dharwadkar stated.
Goa provides a varied habitat in a small place — the shore, also the mid-elevation plateaus along with the Western Ghats, and among those eight biodiversity hotspots on earth is akin to the lands of the Amazon, Congo and Borneo.
The Western Ghats, the coastal areas and midsize highlands with creeks, islands, estuaries, rocky headlands, grasslands, marshy soil, metropolitan areas as well as the scenic forest cover was providing refuge to the diverse species of birds, while also bringing many species that are parasitic, mostly from southern Europe, who are come here in order to escape the brutal winter.

“Conservation of plants is required, because it will enable species of avifauna to flourish in their own environment.
Together with habitat loss, human actions and climate change are in charge of impacting the species of creatures.
Favourable habitats deliver a exceptional abundance of species of creatures,” Keri’s Vivekanand Environment Awareness Brigade’s volunteer Narayan Gawas stated.
