A Journey that tells the story of how birds travel—a vulture fitted with a satellite tag at Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve has reached Tamil Nadu. Before reaching Tamil Nadu, the vulture travelled from Maharashtra to Chhattisgarh, then Gujarat, back to Maharashtra, and finally to Tamil Nadu via Karnataka.
Talking to mid-day, BNHS Director Kishor Rithe said, “A white-rumped vulture, satellite-tagged (N11) at Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in August this year, has travelled over 4,000 km to reach Tamil Nadu. The vulture moved from Maharashtra to Chhattisgarh, then Gujarat returned to Maharashtra, and finally travelled to Tamil Nadu via Karnataka.”
