Birders have also gone without a single sighting in 2013-14.
A senior forest officer said that the number of bird sightings could increase this year. Known for their thick black-and-white shading and constant tail-bobbing, birders say white wagtails are rarely seen more than once or twice a month in an entire season, spanning Oct to March. Their numbers have mostly hovered around two and only increased towards the end of the season in Feb, and that too rarely – data from The Nature Trust state. “This shows that the environment has been conducive for the bird even as there has not been much monsoon. A good food source is also available for the birds here, making Pallikaranai an ideal destination for waders and migratory birds,” he added.
