Amur Falcons from Siberia have reached Nagaland En route to Africa

Every year, as autumn arrives, an extraordinary migration unfolds across the skies of Northeast India. Thousands of tiny birds descend on Nagaland, filling trees and plantations with flocks of visitors that have travelled thousands of kilometres from their breeding grounds in northern Asia. These are Amur falcons, among the world's most remarkable migratory birds. After resting and feeding in Nagaland, they continue their journey towards Africa. Their arrival is not just a spectacular natural phenomenon; it is also the story of how communities in Nagaland transformed a history of hunting into one of wildlife conservation.
