Mysore, Nov. 28 :

Braving the incessant drizzle and chilly weather, over a 100 bird- lovers including many children had assembled at 7 am yesterday at Lingambudi Lake in Ramakrishnanagar here for the bird-watching programme organised by Arivu Balaga.

Suprisingly, a few people had arrived from Bangalore and other places to have a glimpse of the exotic migratory birds.

All the bird-lovers lined up on the banks of the lake and stood in hushed silence to listen to the twitter of the birds.

Environmentalists K.B. Sadanand, Mohan Kumar, P. Guruprasad, Ravi Kumar, Rajkumar, Dr. Abhijit and Sahana were present as Resource Persons providing needed information on the birds, their habitats and food habits to the bird-watchers. An interaction was also held on the vagaries of weather at the birds’ habitats and their migratory routes.

Among the migratory birds were also seen local species of birds like cranes, owls, hornbills and bee-eaters.
