C'garh gets a rare sighting of GPS-tagged long-distance migratory bird 'whimbrel'

The bird, after a three-day stay in the state, has now travelled to Odisha.

Ornithologists and state forest officials observed that the migratory bird was flying mammoth distances and stopped over in Chhattisgarh, owing to the presence of wetlands in the Berla area of Bemetara district, about 70 km from Raipur.

The whimbrel was photographed by bird watchers Himanshu Gupta, Jageshwar Verma and Avinash Bhoi in Berla.
