In its seventh year, Big Bird Day, started by the Delhi Bird Group, seems to have only grown bigger. Now a pan-India and international event, it's a day when bird enthusiasts and nature lovers gather early in the morning, to count the number of species they can spot around the city for the annual bird census. Last year, the number of bird species in Delhi/NCR was 237. This year the event is scheduled for February 24 and will begin at 6.30 am. Nikhil Devasar, one of the organisers says, "The programme is from dawn to dusk, and we'll end it with a meal and drinks, followed by a quiz. This year we're expecting 1,500 participants across the country." For registration, drop a mail to biks.grewal@gmail.com
