Invited Talk On Shorebird Migration  -  

Incredible Journey

Department of Zoology (June 21, 2023)

The Department of Zoology has organised an invited talk on SHOREBIRD MIGRATION  -  INCREDIBLE JOURNEY,  an interactive session to widen the knowledge of students about migratory birds across the globe. Waders or shorebirds are birds of the order Charadriiformes commonly found wading along shorelines and mudflats in order to forage for food, crawling or burrowing in the mud and sand, usually small arthropods such as aquatic insects or crustaceans. The term "wader" is used in Europe, while "shorebird" is used in North America, where "wader" may be used instead to refer to long-legged wading birds such as storks and herons.

         Shorebirds constitute a highly diverse group of migrant species that require a high amount of energy in association with their long-distance migration. They are documented in nearly all shorelines of the world except Antarctica. The seasonal migration of shorebirds is an important biological event, characterized by long-distance travel among breeding, stopover and wintering sites driven by seasonal influences on resources.The program was started with a welcome speech delivered  by Neelima.R (S4 Zoology). The session was handled by Byju H, a Passionate Researcher and Field Biologist. He has been involved with environmental research based on his on-ground experiences on the landscapes where he works and contributes towards sustainable development. His work is primarily on the long distant migratory shorebirds reaching this landscape for several decades now.  The class was interesting and he covered almost all shorebirds visiting India and Srilanka .The soul of the class was his on-site experiences across India. That was really motivating for students interested in research field.The session came to an end with a vote of thanks given by Maheshwari (S4 Zoology). A total of 53 students participated in the seminar. A memento was gifted to Byju.H, on behalf of Zoology Department TKMMC by Principal Dr P P Sharmila.
