Birding enthusiasts in Puducherry hope that the rarely spotted red-necked falcon keeps its date during the annual Pongal Bird Count (PBC) that is on from January 14 to 17. “We have been seeing the bird regularly for the last five years. We hope to see a breeding pair this time,” says Surendhar Boobalan, a Government school teacher in Puducherry, who has been into bird watching for over eight years.
