Q. Which bird sanctuary in Karnataka has reported an increase in the numbers of northern pintail, lesser whistling ducks, spot-billed ducks, Eurasian collared ducks, and Eurasian moorhen this year?
Answer:
Ankasamudra Bird Sanctuary
Notes: Ankasamudra Bird Sanctuary in Ballari, Karnataka, has observed a notable increase in various species of migratory birds this year compared to the last two years. This resurgence is significant as it indicates a recovery in bird migration patterns which had been disrupted due to adverse weather conditions in previous years. The sanctuary is a crucial habitat for these birds during their migration period.
