Kolkata: The movement of migration birds from the northern hemisphere has begun and bird observers throughout Bengal have begun to photograph the wagia wonders flying to their winter land.
Although Amur Falcon has been seen this year before the arrival of scheduled in Bengal, a South and Southeast Chinese citizen, the Red Starling, has been seen for the first time in Bengal recently.
On one of the puja days, bird observers saw Starling which was red billed in Sunderbans.
“I’ve never heard of his appearance in the past.
At least, there are no records to date.
I see it in the Pirkhali area of ​​Sunderbans,” said Nityananda Choukidar, a guide and diligent bird observer.
“In the last 20 days, there was the appearance of the Falcon Peregrine – a member of the fastest animal kingdom – in Sunderbans.
The Eurasian hobby has also been seen,” he said.
On October 11, two Amur Falcons were seen by Bird’s supervisor in Midnapore.
Falcon’s family raptor usually breed in South East Siberia and North China and migrated to South Africa and East Africa.
These birds travel more than 20,000 kilometers between winter land and their breeding.
During the trip they stopped at Nagaland and then flew again along the coastal area in East India to Maharashtra and finally crossed the Arab Sea.
Some groups even crossed the Indian Ocean and flew over Sri Lanka.
“Some Amur Falcons look near Mandarmi in 2016.
They can lose their way and become homeless.
The next appearance was reported in October near Chandrakona,” said Aishik Das, a Birdwatcher.
According to Sujan Chatterjee, Secretary of the Birdwatchers, the migratory birds began to arrive from mid-September.
“Wagtail, Snipe, Sandpiper is a common bird found in Kolkata and the area side by side with the city.
Amur Falcon usually flew over Bengal in November.
This appearance is a little before the scheduled time,” Chatterjee said.
Joydip Kundu, a member of the Country Advisory Council of the State Wildlife, felt that the habitat of these birds must be preserved to keep these guests visit us every year.
“Climate change cannot be avoided and it might have an impact on migratory bird movements.
When viewing new species interesting, we must save habitat for them,” he said.
