Northern wheatear reappears in Nawalparasi after 43 years

The elusive migratory bird from the frozen north was spotted along the Narayani River on Saturday.

Forty-three years after its first recorded appearance in Nepal, northern wheatear, a rare migratory bird species, has been sighted again. The discovery comes exactly 24 days after the death of Clive Byers, the British ornithologist who first recorded the species in the country.
