LONGDING, Nov 9: A flock of Amur Falcon preying on termites was spotted by the DFO Longding, Ankit Kumar and his team at Niausa village in Longding district this afternoon.
The Forest Department will be taking up necessary measures in coordination with the local community for conservation of Amur falcons and ensure they revisit Arunachal Pradesh every year, while crossing India.
The Amur falcon (Falco amurensis) is a small raptor of the falcon family. It breeds in south-eastern Siberia and Northern China before migrating in large flocks across India and over the Arabian Sea to winter in Southern Africa. (DIPRO)
