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.
