Pack your bag or perish..Sarus Crane family being driven away from their homeland
There's a wetland near SGPGI, Lucknow where I along with my friends used to do birding. We used to find many birds species but due to recent development work and building up of housing colonies, the birding is getting over. I was just looking at the ground where lot of Jacanas, Drongos, Rollers, Egrets, Herons, Sandpipers, Whistling teals & Sarus Cranes used to feed and breed but today there was a bulldozer excavating for foundations. The main threat to the very much endangered Sarus crane which is incidentally the state bird of Uttar Pradesh is habitat loss due to conversion of wetland for agriculture & housing purpose.
