| Chicks bring cheer to Greater Rann |
| 06 February 2018 |
The sighting of nearly one lakh fledglings of flamingos has once again established the fact that flamingos are no more migratory in nature at least for the state. Usually the chicks are born over a period, but this season in the Greater Rann of Kutch after a very long time, sighting of nearly one lakh chicks has been documented.
"Usually, one finds a large number of such chicks but they are born in groups. But this year, the sighting of chicks in such a large number has once again established the successful conservation in the state. The sighting this year is encouraging, especially in the Greater Rann of Kutch," said principal chief conservator of forest (wildlife) G K Sinha.
A forest official said that one of the the reasons for such a large number of chicks was that the water was spread in a large area which was very conducive for flamingo breeding. Flamingo City in the Greater Rann is a world-famous nest where flamingos congregate to breed regularly.
