|May 21, 2025
A satellite-tagged Amur Falcon which flew from southern Africa to Odisha covering over 4,000 km last month made another 6,000 km dash in just 18 days - this time to China.
The bird, named Chiuluan 2, reached Manchurian Bay in China on May 20, within 18 days after flying around 6,000 km from the forest of Odisha.
Scientists from the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) had attached a satellite transmitter on the bird on November 8, 2024, in Tamenglong district of Manipur.
Suresh Kumar, a senior scientist of the Dehradun-based WII said, the GPS tracker showed the bird first travelled about 4,000 km from Southern Africa to reach Karlapat wildlife sanctuary in Kalahandi district of Odisha on April 30. It stayed for three days in forests of Odisha from April 30 to May 2.
