Here is an interesting as well as sad photograph clicked by one of birder friend Suprakash Adak. Here you can see the kite is trying to grab the polyethylene packet and after some couple of seconds it got the plastic by its legs.
Me and Suprakash was watching birds at Rajarhat in Kolkata. We were sitting and sharing each others sighting experiences. Suddenly We noticed that a group of Black Kites ( Milvus migrans) were chasing a ployethylene packet which was flying up high on the sky. This could be very dangerous for birds as well as wildlife that they are confused between their actual food and this kind of pollutant. We all know that plastic is indigestible and taking plastic as food, can cause a pathetic death. Declining of wildlife in this way may drive the ecosystem very fast toward a broken ecosystem.
So, plastic has become a really great threat on wildlife as well as ecosystem and thus on us too. Keep try to less use plastic and stop using single use plastics as much as you can. We can easily take this small step to save ourselves.
Please share If you have this kind of any experience.
