There is some exciting news for birdwatchers and nature lovers. A
yellow-throated bulbul was spotted in the city recently.’
Endangered species
Yellow-throated
bulbul is a highly endangered species. It is sighted only in a few pockets in
south India with scrub habitats on steep rocky hills. Hampi, surrounded by
rocky terrain and scrubs, is one of them.
The beautiful bird
was photographed by Pavan Yerragudi, an amateur birdwatcher, during his visit
to the Ballari Fort on Thursday.
First time in Ballari
“Spotting a bird,
for the first time in a city, is exciting news for bird watchers. The bird was
endemic to Hampi and its surroundings. It [spotting it in Ballari] shows that
they can adapt if given space,” S.K. Arun, a leading surgeon and district
wildlife warden told The Hindu .
A day earlier,
Pavan was also lucky to not only spot but also photograph Verditer Flycatcher,
a migratory bird from the Himalayas, at the cultural complex in the city.
