Winged beauties from across the Himalayas and Eurasian region have kept their annual tryst and congregated in large numbers in Mysuru and surrounding districts for their winter sojourn.
The annual migration of these birds commences sometimes in September when severe winter sets in the northern hemisphere and their return journey along the same flight path begins in March.
Birders of Mysuru conducted a one-day survey on January 22, 2024, and the final results after tabulation was shared by A. Shivaprakash who has been conducting bird census and survey for more than 35 years and pegged the single-day count of migratory water birds at 4372.
