birds under threat
Srinagar, December 22
“Take nothing but photographs.
Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time”. This message

Please do not disturb: A flock of migratory birds flies away at the drop of even a leaf over the waters of Hokersar Wetland, which has an area of 14 sq km about
12 km north of Srinagar, which has been attracting lakhs of birds from colder region during winter months.
