Rare black-necked crane spotted in Arunachal valley

The black-necked crane, a rare bird species found at high altitudes, has been spotted for the first time at Zemithang Valley in Arunachal Pradesh by the Indian chapter of the World Wildlife Fund.

So long there were only reports of the bird’s sighting in the valley in Tawang district, located at an altitude of 2000 metres above sea level near the China border, but there was no photographic evidence.
