Bhagalpur: A Haven for Rare Birds
Bhagalpur is slowly becoming a haven for rare birds in the environmental sector. Various rare species of birds can now be spotted in the region, including a beautiful bird known as the Spoonbill. This bird, also known as Chammach Baj, resembles a heron in shape but is named after its spoon-like beak. It is often seen near rivers, lakes, and ponds, and was recently spotted in Bihapur, Bhagalpur.
Unique Features of the Spoonbill
The Spoonbill is known for its distinctive spoon-shaped beak, which is approximately 1 foot long and adds to its beauty. This bird averages around 2 to 2.5 feet in size and can be found near the banks of the Ganges, rivers, lakes, and ponds in the region. Bird enthusiasts have identified it as a Eurasian bird that migrates to Asia and Europe.
Spoonbills Spotted in Ghatoura Lake
Ghatoura Lake in Bihapur, Bhagalpur, has become a new spot for birdwatchers as the Spoonbill has been sighted there. This lake is located in Gauripur Diara, Navgachhiya, and has attracted thousands of miles of migration for these birds. While initially, a group of 10 Spoonbills was spotted, now only one can be seen in the area as they tend to move to different locations.
