Tamil Nadu's Panjappur Lake becomes 'bird haven' with Glossy Ibises, Terns
•Panjappur Lake in Tiruchirappalli is attracting large evening congregations of Glossy Ibises and Terns, turning it into a 'bird haven'.
•The lake serves as a secure roosting site, offering one of the best sunset aerial displays for observers.
•Glossy Ibises are medium-sized wading birds with iridescent bronze and green plumage, while Terns are slender seabirds that hunt fish by plunge-diving.
•Many waterbirds, including Glossy Ibises and Terns, follow predictable migration routes, with some populations remaining resident year-round and others arriving seasonally.
•Glossy Ibises choose this wetland due to shallow, nutrient-rich waters, abundant prey, open visibility, and minimal human disturbance, ensuring a secure roosting site.
