Winter Migratory Bird Census Begins in West Burdwan

A big count of birds is happening in West Burdwan, India.

Every year, birds from cold places like Tibet and Siberia fly to warmer places like India to escape the cold.

This year, the count started on December 1, 2025, and will last until February 28, 2026.

People from the forest department and groups like Wild Tuskers and Wings are helping.

They have seen many birds like the Ruddy Shelduck and Siberian Rubythroat.

They think more birds will come this year because it's very cold in their home places.

They are also working to keep the birds safe by cleaning up the water and making sure people don't hurt the birds.

This is important because it helps the birds and also keeps the environment healthy.
