Welcome to MigrantWatch!
Each winter, millions of birds belonging to hundreds of species migrate into India from latitudes further north. When do these birds come and how do they spread across the country? As the global climate changes, is the timing of migration changing too? Information is scarce and your help is needed to answer these questions. Join us in contributing your sightings of migrants! And while you are here, please do join the Pied Cuckoo Campaign too.New website - Your opinions and feedback matter.
This is a completely newly designed website for MigrantWatch! A navigation guide and a list of new features is on our blog. Although we've tried to test the website out thoroughly before launch, there may still be a few bugs or irritations. If you find any, please do email us at mw@migrantwatch.in. If you prefer the older version of the website, you can get to it here until 1 September 2010.Got a photo of the migrant you sighted? Post it to MigrantWatch.
1) Login, 2) Report the sighting, 3) Upload your picture (upto 4 per sighting), 4) See it in the MigrantWatch gallery. You can upload photos for any of your past sightings too (go to edit sightings). Then ask your friends to comment -- each sighting and photo has a unique URL.

Pied Cuckoos are back!Legend has it that the Pied Cuckoo (also called the Pied-crested Cuckoo) heralds the coming of the monsoon. Is this true? Help us find out by reporting sightings of this widespread migrant. See here for details. A summary of last year's findings is here. You can also use our data page to see all Pied Cuckoo sightings on a map or in a table. |
Do you see the patterns?MigrantWatch participants have reported arrival and departure data for three years (2007-2010) now. Would you like to join us in sifting through the numbers, detecting patterns and general geekery? If so, search and download the data here! (You need to be logged in to download the raw data).
