KOLKATA: In the first such sighting in and around Kolkata, a blue-winged leafbird (chloropsis cochinchinensis jerdoni) was spotted at Chintamani Kar Bird Sanctuary, Narendrapur, on Sunday. Bird expert Sumit Sen confirmed this, saying: "Earlier, local leafbird records were attributed to the golden-fronted leafbird (chloropsis aurifrons), which was last seen in what used to be pre-development Salt Lake in the 1960s." Usually, the blue-winged leafbird is seen in the western parts of Bengal. tnn
