Birdwatchers Sound the Alarm at Local Lake

Did you hear about Ukkadam Periyakulam Lake? Birders are freaking out because the place used to be a hotspot for over 100 bird species, but now it’s eerily quiet. All the new development—think zip lines, food stalls, and bright lights—is scaring the birds away. Species like the painted stork and green-winged teal are barely seen anymore. Experts say this isn’t just about birds; it’s a warning sign for the whole ecosystem. Urban upgrades are cool, but at what cost? #Birdwatching #EcoAlert #UrbanWildlife #Science
