"You can know the names of a bird in all languages of the world,but when you are finished ,
You will know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird.....
So let`s look at the bird and see what it`s doing --that`s what counts.
I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something."


-Nobel Laureate Richard P Feynman(1918-1988)

Hi, all,

NEWS ....

It is informed that there is a sunset cruise which starts from Kochi towards the evening and takes you about 8km into the sea and back at dark. Tickets are available daily at same counter. It should be worth from a birding perspective. Wouldn't that be a good way to check out for pelagics ?































Hi, all,
The construction of the proposed Cricket stadium at Edakochi has been stayed by the District Collector for want of proper clearances. The Kerala Cricket Association is being charged for offences like the destruction of mangroves, permanent construction etc., infringing the CRZ Act. Let us hope that the Govt. and the forest dept. will take necessary steps to thwart the attempts of the stalwarts of the already tarnished and corrupt 'cricket industry' to unscrupulously destroy the remaining mangroves in the area, as if mangroves are wastelands!!!.
