According to preliminary results, 355 bird species were observed from 37 districts across Tamil Nadu. File | With over 350 species of birds having been recorded from Tamil Nadu during the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) India 2024, a four-day bird-watching event held from February 16 to 19, Tamil Nadu ranks seventh in GBBC in 2024. Each year we think we’ve reached the ceiling in terms of the number of people who will spend at least 15 minutes (usually more) watching, celebrating, and reporting their birds for GBBC—and each year you surprise us! Collectively, we found 7,920 species of the world’s known species. Hundreds of countries and subregions came together to share bird sightings. Thank you to everyone who shared the joy of birds with us! We devote this summary of the 2024 global four-day event to you. Be proud of all we have accomplished, together.
