TRICHY:
Greater Spotted Eagle and Eurasian Western Harrier are the rare bird species to
be spotted this year in water bodies on the outskirts of the city which are an
ideal stopover for migratory birds travelling down south and towards
Kodiakkarai in Nagapattinam district.
However,
the migratory birds coming to Trichy region have come down this year, according
to bird watchers in the city. Birds travelling all the way from North Pole to
escape the extreme winter come to Vedanthangal after which they fly down south
cross Trichy.
While the
turnout of birds in Vedanthangal has been less, there has been a fall in number
of these birds coming to water bodies in Trichy, they say. Kiliyur, Koothaippar
and Devarayaneri tanks on the outskirts of Trichy have been some of the ideal
spots for these winged visitors to rest for the past few weeks after travelling
several thousand miles.
