Kundapur-Bird Watching | A Unique review from Coondapur.Com


LIST OF THE BIRDS SIGHTED AROUND KUNDAPUR:

If you are an avid bird watcher, you will not be disappointed.
Kundapur with its varied landscape - the Sea on one side, its many rivers & 
proximity to the Western Ghats makes it home to the diverse Bird Life around this place. The Mangrove forests, swampy areas close to the river are ideal habitats for 
many species of water birds like Egrets, Herons, Purple moorhen, Ibis,
 Cormorants, Jacanas etc.  
Peacocks move around in groups everywhere in the periphery of the forests
 and scrublands. Koni, 1 km from the town is an ideal place to spot birds. 
The open scrubland around Kundapur Railway station is another such 
place. On the way to Kollur once can visit Mookambika Wild Life Sanctuary 
where one can see the forest birds like the Hornbill and the Emerald 
Dove.  The Anejari Wildlife Camp is situated in the Reserve Forest 
where one can rent a cottage with the prior permission of the 
wildlife authority.  While strolling along the beaches of Kodi, Gopadi 
and Trasi you can spot sea birds such as Paradise Flycatchers, 
 Drongos, Spotted doves, Kingfishers and Barbets.  

Best Season to visit : October to Feb.
