Three satellite-tagged Amur falcons -- Apapang, Alang, and Ahu -- have made remarkable progress on their long migratory journey from Manipur, India, towards Africa, according to officials from the Manipur Forest Department.
IAS officer Supriya Sahu shared updates on X, highlighting the extraordinary endurance of the birds.
“The Amur Falcons are rewriting the limits of endurance. Apapang and Alang have crossed into Kenya, while Ahu is at the northern tip of Somalia. They are likely to stop over at Tsavo National Park in Kenya,” she wrote on X.
Hello again to all those glued to Amur Watch !
