The Natural Calendar: December
What to look for, where, and how sure we are.
Northern lights (northern Norway, Finland, Iceland, Canada): the dark months give the best chance, but sightings are not guaranteed. Predictable season, uncertain nights.
Amur falcons in Nagaland: these small raptors pass through Nagaland on a long migration, usually in October and November, and have become a conservation story in which local communities took a leading role. By December most have moved on — read this as a preview for next year.
Winter birds at Indian wetlands: many migratory species arrive for the cool season. Predictable season; numbers vary with each year's conditions.
Prices, dates, permits and rules change — approximate, verify before you travel. Researched from public sources; field verification pending.
