Migrant birds are here already, says a group of bird watchers from the city.The
migratory birds usually arrive around December, but the bird
enthusiasts from Travancore Natural History Society (TNHS) say that they
have already spotted some visitors in Poovar and Veli as early as
October.
Dr Kalesh S, co-founder of TNHS, says that this is not very unusual as this could be the first wave of migrants.“Last
time, we had spotted rare birds like Saunders’s tern and Little tern in
Veli. Those haven’t arrived yet. In the coming days, we plan to go on
more birding trips to Poovar and Veli. It will be a good season for four
months now.”
