CHITWAN: With the onset of the winter season, migratory birds from as far as Mongolia, China, Siberia, Russia and other countries have been spotted in three rivers in Chitwan district.

Bagmati Province Coordinator of Nepalese Ornithological Union, Basu Bidari, said that more than 40 species of birds have arrived in Rapti, Narayani and Riyu rivers in Chitwan.

“The migratory birds have been spotted on the riverbanks. The tourists too have started coming for bird watching,” Bidari said.

Duck and other birds of various species such as Maalak duck, duck with a green head, Kalijure duck, Suirepuchhre duck, Kharakhare duck, Kal duck, Thulo Jalewa and Chakhewa among others are seen in the wetlands, he shared.

The birds arrive in Nepal in search of food as the rivers are frozen in the winter season in different countries.

According to Bidari, some 150 to 160 species of birds arrive in Chitwan and those migratory birds don’t hatch.

“The birds return to their original habitat with the beginning of the summer season,” he added.
