Migration of birds occurs every year over the Central Asian Flyway; more birds are being seen this year compared to previous years
The annual migration of birds from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mannar Marine Biosphere Reserve, has begun with an enormous flock seen swarming the Manoli Islands inside the park last weekend.
Mandapam Forest Range Officer, G. Venkatesh, told The Hindu that during his visit to the protected area on October 23, he saw thousands of terns and gulls, hundreds of sand, crab and grey plovers and the little stints and rudy turnstones that wade through shallow waters.
