BNHS biologist Parveen Shaikh receives The Habitat Trust Action Grant for her work on riverine nesting birds in Chambal. BNHS deeply acknowledges The Habitat Trust for this rich recognition to Parveen's conservation efforts. A proud moment for us at BNHS.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the nest guardians of Chambal who braved the hot summer and sudden release of water over the past two months, the skimmers chicks have finally fledged from their nests. Gratitude to our donors @_sbisecurities @BirdLife_News

After two years of Covid lockdowns we have resumed the marking of adult skimmers at Chambal. We recaptured this individual which was marked at the same location in 2019, indicating strong site fidelity for the nesting sites and importance of conservation of this nesting habitat

Sudden release of water at Kota barrage in #Rajasthan has led to flooding of river islands in Chambal, drowning the eggs and newly hatched chicks of the #Endangered Indian Skimmer. An urgent appeal to @ashokgehlot51 to halt the process for ~2 weeks till they take flight.

[Bombay Natural History Society @BNHSIndia]

With less than 2,500 adult Indian skimmers left in the wild, they are clearly more endangered than tiger. As fluctuating water level submerge their nests and dogs eat their chicks, their survival is completely at our mercy.

@BirdtourAsia @BNHSIndia @Team_eBird @BirdLife_News @birdcountindia @urmiljhaveri We can still request participants to look out for BBT at these sites during the count and upload the data.

[parveenS @parveenevs]

@BirdtourAsia @BNHSIndia @Team_eBird @BirdLife_News @birdcountindia @urmiljhaveri Thanks for this suggestion. Since this is the first phase we restricted it to Indian Skimmer, we might include BBT in the next phase in January 2021.
