A Lesser Noddy, a Maldivian sea bird, seen rarely in India, was spotted on Sunday at Seawoods NRI complex in Navi Mumbai on Sunday, but the avian guest did not survive.

The bird, ‘Anous tenuirostris’ for scientists, with a long beak was seen struggling, said NRI complex resident Deepak Rampal who got in touch with the Wildlife Welfare Association (WWA).
