Initially I thought they were whiskered terns, and then checking on Merlin found that these were black bellied plovers. And I was super excited to know that these birds would have travelled over 9600 kms from the Arctic Tundra to reach Navi Mumbai wetlands .
Plovers feed on the shores and the wetlands and the inter tidal lakes provide the necessary nutrition.
A must to protect these wetlands if we need to see these birds every year .
