ANURAAG SINGH @Bhopal

Comparison of data gathered from bird watching excursions and studies conducted by bird-ers and ornithologists in December 2023 and December 2024 in Indore has revealed decline in overall count of bird species, including those birds migrating from Eurasian region (including Russia, Central Asia and Mongolia).

While the overall species sighting, which was 172 during the maiden bird watch in Indore in December 2023, declined to 165 during the same exercise in December 2024, the aggregate migratory duck counts dipped by over 20%.
