This migration season in Coimbat must see four birds

In winter, the city’s wetlands, with soft lighting, stirred the city’s wetlands with the promise of those who arrived from the remote land. From the Siberian move, the Himalayan Futhils, migration birds are run by the ancient routes charts, institutes and southern sanctuaries. By the end of March, they came as silent as they came, but now they will fill the air with their calls and water. To celebrate their arrival, we talked to four birds, sharing stories of each winged travel story that turns the rights into a seasonal habit.

An attractive migration bird visiting Caibibato is European bee-mate. This species, a passage migrant, stopped here in October, some continued in Sri Lanka. It returns briefly on the way to Europe in March and April. I was for the first time in Pannuthu Hills near the Pannuthu Amman Temple. I have identified it as allowed on the electrical wire, holding a sikad in an interesting scene, its lively color and size, which is much larger than green bee-eating. I’ve been scouting for this bird for a long time.

European bee-seters have become more common for years in Caibibatore, sometimes reporting as big jerks. A Buddy friend once recorded 500 birds in a single place. Before 2015, the philosophy was rare, but the growing awareness among the birds has created better documentation. Ponnuthu Hills remains a popular place to visit these birds during their immigration season.

What makes the bees unique is the technique of feeding them. They initially hunt the bee, but before eating, they beat them against a branch and cleverly remove the sting. I have also seen hunting in their sequadus, adding variations on their diet. In events, these birds display communal roasting, gathering in a group of five to ten in a single branch and creating a fascinating scene.

The European Bee-Single Migration Story is bound to the available meal. During the strict European winter, insects hibernating, with little nourishment for these birds. They are transferred to tropical regions like India, where the food is abundant. However, in the summer, they come back to Europe, painted by plant insects, low predators and enough nesting places.

The threat to these birds contains widespread use of pesticide use, which reduces their insect food sources and produces toxins on their system. It affects their reproduction, leading to thin ovary or infertility. Colony Dhosfes Disorder (CCD), an event that affects the bee population, creates long -term risk.

Indian Pita

Indian Pitta or Navrang is a stunning colorful bird, named for nine vivid colors. One of the birds of the birds is dear, transferred from the foot of the Himalayas to southern India, reaching Sri Lanka. In Kimimatore, they arrive in October and sometimes found in gardens or porches, get tired. They have been healed quickly and are usually not damaged, thought that some good-non-financial locals mistake their natural marks for injury.

Known for their distinct calls, Pitus singing in the first dawn makes them easier to hear than watching them. Their disguised plumage is commonly found near the Siruvani foot, the Chinavedapatti lake and the Selva Chinthmani lake.

Pitus navigates at a wide distance with secluded and extraordinary accuracy, often returns to the same place every year. However, their migration is not without risk. Destroy housing in central India and occasionally creates hunting challenges. Although they are safe from hunting in southern India, people’s intervention, such as casing, remains anxiety. These birds only eat worms and cannot survive in regular food, if confused, makes captivity fatal.

Despite their beauty and environmental role in the control of pests, the Indian Pitus has been listed as “least constant” in the IUCN Red list. This status, combined with their unfinished nature, means that they are not widely studied. Most observations are relayed to their calls rather than sights, as they are mixed with small and dense leaves.

One of my most memorable faces in an Indian Pitta was to Palakas in the morning. I saw it flowing to the ground, enchanting with its lively colors. I thought I had a camera, I chose to choose the moment I rush to take pictures.

The presence of Indian pita is an important reminder of the subtle balance of nature and preserving the habitat for this beautiful bird.

Blith’s Reed Warballer

Blith’s Reed Warlu is one of the most common immigrant birds in our region. The worldwide population in the Indian subcontinent, including India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, throughout Europe and some parts of Asia. Despite its simple brown appearance, it is easily recognized by its distinctive call, often heard in the garden. These birds to avoid the hard winter in their reproductive groups, find food and shelter in our monsoon season that have abundance of insects. By April, they returned to Europe, where spring provides the best conditions for their youth nest and raising.

Every year I wait eagerly for the arrival of this bird. Hearing its call in my backyard makes me happily full, indicating that their breeding and winning groups are safe. The presence of migrant birds like Blith’s Reed Warbler is a sign of a healthy environment, as they depend on the population suitable for survival and rich insects. However, loss of habitat with cleaning business and plants has become an important threat to them. Insects are reduced without greener, leaving these birds without food or shelter. Thanks, when the bushes in my backyard come back after the rain, the Warblers come back and prove that the birds are so retrieved.

Unlike many European species of winter in Africa, the reed of Blith is transferred to the Indian subcontinent, a choice that revisit. Its journal is part of a larger global cycle where migration birds travel to the distance to survive. Some species are stopping as well

In general, this bird is very important for our ecosystem, to keep an eye on the insect population and balance. Nevertheless, their abundance often leads to neglect in the effort to conserve. We must give priority to preserving their residence before their population begins to decline.

I first encountered with this bird in Valparai in 2015, my mentor operated by Dr. P Jiganathan. For the first time, it was a magician to hear its call. From that point on, I was comfortable at the call, it’s like listening to almost a friend.

North pintile

North Pintile also knows that doubleing ducks are regular visitors in the wetlands of Caimbatore, but this year, their arrival may be delayed. Many wetlands are flooded and more contaminated than normal, such as pushed to these birds, pushed into less disturbing areas.

Northern Pintals use the Tentral Asian-India flyway to transfer from the Himalayas to the Himalayas or Siberia and settled across India’s wetlands during Vinter. The aquatic plants, seeds and their roots are fed to the plant -based diet to submerge their heads. During the nesting season, this bird mainly eats inverted animals, with aquatic insects, mallsks and their iconic pintyle tail, including crustysian, often points to the sky. Their chocolate-brown heads are as shocking as the sun in the sun, a scene that never fails to fascinate me.

In Caimimatore, we often identify these birds in small groups in 10-15 in wetlands like collaboration, Peru’s Sunda Kamuthur and Sengulam Tank. These sites are part of the noyal and rainy wetlands that provide food and shelter. Northern Pintals are usually in the second quarter of the winter season, in December and February, when the rainfall is closed, the level of water and water levels with level coatamantation becomes ideal for feeding the wetlands.

North Pintail is a survival strategy. During the Siberian winter, frozen landscapes force them to look for non-hemized regents with plenty of food. They stop at several stops by side by side, allowing the inter -associated wetlands of Caimibatore to move into the minimum effort, especially when some wetlands are more appropriate than others.

However, urban wetlands are facing growing threats from pollution and degradation of residence. For example, Ukkadam Big Tank, once suffered by hundreds of northern Pintal and other ducks, due to the shelter, flow and drainage.

Thanks, the efforts of groups like Kausika Nekarangal have revived the rural wetlands like the Agaraha Samkulam, turning their CLEA into an ideal habitat with a minimum and minimal disruption. Our Birdwatch was identified there during our winter bird migration study this year

I first saw a northern Pintile in the Ukkadam Lake in 2013 in my first bird days. After that, the population of the bird was even larger and the habitats were healthy. Storing these wetlands is important to save these wetlands every year to ensure that continuing to continue to go to Caimbatore.

Northern Pintyl breeds in the northern region of Europe and Pallerk and across North America.
