Jaipur: After studying the migration path of birds, wildlife researchers have revealed that the majority of the population of Egypt’s Nasar birds who come to Jorbeer in Rajasthan and other parts of the country during the winter come from Uzbekistan and other Central Asian countries.
Previously, it was believed that the maximum population of Egyptian nasal birds found in the country were residents and did not migrate from other countries.
However, after following the three birds marked by the Bulgarian society to protect birds, it was studied that the majority of Egyptian Birds had migrated.
Senior senior researchers and members of the Raptor Research Foundation, Dau Lal Bohara said, “Even though the Egyptian birds don’t really migrate.
They travel between the area of ​​residence and breed to a greater level than most other nasar birds.
Egyptian bird population In Jorbeer, it was recorded at 2,600.
Once these birds were handed over to other places in this country, the number was reduced to 700.
“The researchers told three Egyptian birds – Anya, Arys and Timur -, who had undergone their first fall migration, marked in Uzbekistan.
Of the three marked birds, two came to Rajasthan.
The three birds initially flew south above Turkmenistan before taking a very different route.
The east covers more than 3,800 miles (6200km), past Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia before settling in Yemen.
This bird doesn’t come to India.
However, Anya crossed to Iran and flew to Afghanistan, Pakistan before coming to Jorbeer after covering a distance of 1400 miles (2300 km).
He also visited the area including West Shiv and Barmer since his arrival.
Likewise, Arya traveled around 930 miles (1500km), Afghanistan and Pakistan before they also settled in Rajasthan.
He crossed the border to Rajasthan / India on September 18, 2021, to reach Bhadriya (60 km east of Jaisalmer).
Vladimir Dobrev (Bulgaria), which was associated with the project, this work was carried out in the OSME framework, Oriental Bird Club and Hawk Conservancy Trust to study the route of migration and winter sites for Nasar birds in Uzbekistan.
“These birds are marked in the Kyzylkum Desert.
The population in Uzbekistan is 135 pairs.
Learning the migration route is one of the most important tasks in identifying threats to our Nasar.” Apart from important sites internationally, Rajasthan is not included in the Central Action Plan.
For conservation of hering in India (2020-2025).
Danceer Singh, a bird observer said, “Prey birds in Jorbeer, liked hiering habitat, greatly falling prey with two drugs, aceclofenac and ketoprophen given by veterinarians in cattle.
Moreover, mortality continues to occur due to electric shock.
Conservation plan For this site it must be prepared, “he said.
