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.
