350 bird-watchers scan city for birds
For many nature lovers leading busy lives, Sunday's Mumbai Bird Race 2008 was a pleasant change. Starting 6 am, nearly 350 professional and amateur bird watchers from all over Mumbai, Alibaug, and some even as far as Pune set out to sight the winged species found around the city. Armed with binoculars, bird guide books and log books, the bird watchers spent the entire day observing, studying and making notes.
