Spring Migration Superstars- Comics for Birdlife International

Meet 7 Spring Migration Superstars- the European Bee-Eater, the Common Cuckoo, the Common Swift, the Barn Swallow, the Collared Sand Martin, the Common Ringed Plover and the White Stork. The comics have been created for Birdlife International's #SpringAlive campaign in which we introduce young birders to spring migrants. Thanks to Birdlife once again for collaborating with me.

The Edible Nest Swiftlet

Cave swiftlets are bat-birds among birds, in a sense that they're among the very few birds capabe of echolocation! One such bird is a native of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (and South-East Asia), the Edible-Nest Swiftlet. Harvesting of the birds' nest for the Oriental delicacy 'Bird nest soup' has led to a decline in numbers. But conservation efforts initiated by the legendary ornithologist, late Dr. Ravi Shankaran have ensured the species' survival.

Comic from my column with The Hindu Sunday Magazine.

The Swift

Swifts are among the fastest and most aerial of all birds! From my column with Roundglass Samsara.
