As regular CFZ-watchers will know, for some time Corinna has been doing a column for Animals & Men and a regular segment on On The Track... particularly about out-of-place birds and rare vagrants. There seem to be more and more bird stories from all over the world hitting the news these days so, to make room for them all - and to give them all equal and worthy coverage - she has set up this new blog to cover all things feathery and Fortean.

Rare migratory bird spotted in Hadoti, third sighting in 3 decades


Sun,12 Nov 2017


Summary: The black-naped monarch, a migratory bird, rarely seen in Rajasthan, has been spotted for the first time in the Hadoti region, the third such sighting in the last three decades in the state, wildlife experts said. 

The Black-naped monarch is usually found across south-east China, Taiwan, the Phillipines, India and Sri Lanka, he said. The bird also known as the black-naped flycatcher, usually lives on trees and thick foliage but in the Abhera forest, it has been spotted in a scrubland, said Meena. “Previous records reveal that occasionally a single bird has been sighted in the Keoladeo National Park in Bharatpur during winter in1993-94. The bird was spotted by wildlife researcher and a programme coordinator at the Society of Conservation of Historical and Ecological Resources Hari Mohan Meena and Dr Krishnendra Singh Nama, a senior wildlife biologist at the society.
