Rare Central Asian White Stork Spotted at Delhi's Okhla Bird Sanctuary
A rare white stork, likely the Central Asian subspecies Ciconia ciconia asiatica, has been spotted at Delhi's Okhla Bird Sanctuary since November 1, attracting birdwatchers and photographers. This subspecies, with fewer than 2,000 individuals globally, breeds mainly in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan and migrates south to winter in regions including the Indian subcontinent. White stork sightings in Delhi-NCR are uncommon, with previous records in 1992, 2005, 2004-05, and 2019. Experts highlight the importance of protecting urban wetlands like Okhla for migratory birds.
