Dear Birders,

A happy moment to note that 1 million in numbers are recorded. It would have been good to see the species list too. Tried accessing the link but couldnt. Please email this link for Referal.

With the cameras and bird photographers all over the sanctuaries in the birding season I should say creating habitat awareness can be easy. 50% are
IT employees with great e-birding skills.

The sketchers and taxonomists are few on the list.
