Chennai: Those who monitor the bird of Chennai were recently rewarded with an extraordinary point of view – re -appearing for two elusive species, oystercatures and auctor turns, in Adyar Muhana. This is the first confirmation of these birds in the city after about 40 years, which provides hope for the revival of its delicate coastal ecosystems.
For decades, these birds were regular visitors with the coastline of Tamil Nadu, especially in places like Point Calimare and Kanyakumari. He was once so well adapted to the conditions of the region that he was believed to be nearby, returning the season after the season.
However, with the coastal decline, residence disturbances, and reducing the availability of hunting, their presence gradually declined, leading to rareness in the Beering Circle in Chennai.
Oystercatcher is a striking, ground-nesting marine bird known for sandbar and mudflats. Mainly feeding on fish, crustaceans and mollusks, it was historically absent from normal winter herds of Chennai, making its return notable.
On the other hand, the turn of the beauty, longer than long has been recorded due to its previous winding as a subspecies of normal short turn.
Both species thrive in undivided, food-rich coastal wetlands-a similar atmosphere that struggles between urbanization.
Rediscovery Chennai’s most delicate yet indicates a possible rebound for one of the important natural habitats.
Adyar Estury – Pressed by prolonged pollution, encroachment and tidal disintegration – still retains ecological prosperity to attract rare migratory birds.
Such philosophy highlights the role of Muhana as an important stagnation in the flyway of the large Indian Ocean, connecting Chennai water to global migration routes. For the city’s naturalists, this phenomenon is more than a moment of surprise; This is a measure of environmental health.
The return of these long -standing birds indicates better circumstances, at least temporarily, and underlining the importance of protecting the remains of the wetlands of Chennai.
Protectionists believe that continuous efforts to restore mudflats, control pollution and protect tidal flow can help bring back more species that were once abundant, but now only memories. This unexpected journey is a quiet but powerful reminder – the coastal ecosystems of Chennai still have the ability to heal and they were once constant to welcome life.
