A bird‑watching walk in Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh, documented fifteen different bird species at the Pigey Aji farmland.
A group of bird‑watchers gathered on the Pigey Aji farmland near Ziro on Saturday for a scheduled bird‑watching walk. Participants systematically surveyed the fields and surrounding wetlands, identifying a total of fifteen distinct bird species, ranging from common sparrows to migratory waterfowl.
The observation was recorded by local naturalists who noted the presence of both resident and seasonal birds, highlighting the ecological importance of the farmland as a habitat corridor. No rare or endangered species were reported, but the diversity underscores the area's potential for future avian studies.
Organisers of the Ziro bird walk emphasized that such community‑driven surveys help raise awareness about biodiversity in Arunachal Pradesh and support conservation efforts by providing baseline data for researchers and policymakers.
