Walking around the Dighalipukhuri, meaning ‘Long lake’, was a regular morning habit for retired bureaucrat Rajib Prakash Baruah until the 21-day countrywide lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic began from March 24 midnight.
He couldn’t quite recall seeing the kharali haanh (lesser whistling duck) wading in the lake when an acquaintance with a better view from the windows of his horse reported a flock on Friday.
“We were used to seeing several species of local and migratory waterfowl in Dighalipukhuri when we were young. They have returned after decades possibly because there aren’t any humans around to interfere because of the lockdown,” said Kailash Sarma, a cultural activist who lives beside the Jorpukhuri (Twin lakes), a few metres east of Dighalipukhuri.
