Kunta is Back

We wrote about her great journeys two months ago. Flying 2,000 km, Kunta, a one-legged grey wagtail from Central Asia, returns. Surviving this journey for the third year in a row, she set her stumpy red leg down once again in her winter home, Indian Almond, an organic coffee farm (yes, this birdie’s got refined taste) owned by TS Ganesh, 200 km from Bangalore. Her flock of fans call this 15-gm yellow émigré Kunta (meaning lame in Kannada).  Ganesh’s heart fluttered when he saw her this month, perched on a power line by his farm, bravely swinging on her single leg.
