Many winter migrants start arriving in September, and there is corresponding increase in birding in the country — an interesting commentary on the behaviour of birdwatchers! Here is the breakup of eBirding in the country in September 2019 (with previous month in brackets):

Number of birders: 1,520 (1,317)
Number of lists (all types): 14,600 (11,800)
Number of observations: 2.23 lakh (1.66 lakh)

The challenge for September was to upload at least 5 eligible lists in each week of the month  (details at the link above). Of the 1,520 eBirders in this month, 56 met the target. These are (excluding group accounts):

Dear Amit,

Thanks for contacting us. The best thing to do when you come across injured birds or animals is to find a local rescue and rehab centers. They might have trained and experienced people who can guide and help with such circumstances.
