Here's good news for bird watchers. Nearly
7,000 migratory birds have already arrived in Okhla Bird Sanctuary. A survey by
the forest department of Gautam Budh Nagar has revealed the figure, which it
claims is a "decent" count, indicating that there could be more birds
on their way to the sanctuary this winter. "We saw northern pintails,
pochards, grey-legged geese and more. By the time, winter sets in, we would be
expecting pelicans and bar-headed geese also," a senior forest department
official said.
