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.

Manipal is now a Bird Watcher’s Paradise

MANIPAL: The Manipal International University campus has become a bird watcher’s paradise thanks to a community founded by Shivashankar and Ramith Singhal.

During the recently held 5th edition of the Annual Manipal Bird Day, three new birds — including Tickell’s Thrush, Blue-eared Kingfisher and Slaty-breasted Rail, were sighted by participants from Dakshina Kananda and Udupi districts. This year, 75 participants were divided into 15 teams to explore 17 locations. Almost 20 bird watchers met again in the evening to count the waders at Manipal Lake and a few finished the day counting off nocturnal birds.
