In a new milestone for the satellite-tracked migration of Amur falcons, three birds — Apapang, Ahu and Alang — were satellite-tagged in Manipur last week under Phase 2 of the Manipur Amur Falcon Tracking Project by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII).

All three have flown over Maharashtra and are now making their non-stop Arabian Sea crossing en route to southern Africa.
