Rare Indian Skimmers Spotted at Lower Manair Dam
A rare sighting of 150-200 endangered Indian skimmer birds was recorded at the Lower Manair Dam (LMD) in Telangana, marking the first-ever sighting of these birds in the region. Typically, these birds migrate to Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, for the winter. The Indian Skimmer is classified as endangered by the IUCN, and its population has been declining due to habitat loss. The Karimnagar Birdwatchers Community and local forest officials are working to raise awareness and protect the species’ habitat. This sighting is a significant development in understanding the skimmers’ shifting migratory patterns and the need for enhanced conservation efforts.
