New species of bird found in Ghodaghodi

Kailali: A new bird species has been traced in the Ghodaghodi Bird Sanctuary of Kailali. The Sanctuary is located in Ghodaghodi Wetlands, which is listed in the World Ramsar List. 

The new discovery was made during a bird census held at the Sanctuary from May 20-26. The Oriental Dollarbird, locally known as Lalchuche Theuwa, was found for the first time in the Sanctuary.

With the addition of this new species, the number of birds found in Ghodaghodi Wetlands has reached 381. 

The bird census was carried out in coordination with the Division Forest Office and Bird Conservation Nepal to update on the species, number, and condition of summer migratory birds.
