Cormorants, darters complete second cycle of breeding

Cormorants and darters have completed the second round of breeding at the Vedanthangal birds sanctuary, near Chengalpattu. Wildlife authorities say there is no recent record of second cycle of breeding carried out by these two bird species at the sanctuary. They attribute two factors, which made the avifauna go for the second cycle of breeding: availability of food and the rain in March.
