Am amazed to read every other day about the sighting of a new bird or a new butterfly in new places... :) Are these signs of their efforts to adapt to climate change or just that we were not keen enough to document them all. Last year we sighted the red munia for the first time during the bird race in Chennai! May be we should consider starting a butterfly race as well! regards, ramjee
