2 New Bird Species named 'White-capped water redstart' and 'Eurasian thick-knee' are added to the Bird list of Jamui.
The White-capped Water-redstart is the only member of the genus Chaimarrornis, which represents the Himalayan stream avifauna. it is quite surprising to report it at Garhi Dam for the first time in Jamui and the second time in Bihar after Valmiki Tiger Reserve. This species is a short-distance migrant.
Eurasian thick-knee is generally found in dry grassland. It is active mainly at night and spends the day sitting inconspicuously; thus, it is overlooked easily.
With the advent of technology and enthusiastic birders, we are looking forward to the reporting of many more new bird species.
