About 35 km south of Chengalpattu,
this is one of the most spectacular water-bird breeding grounds in
India. Cormorants, egrets, herons, storks,
ibises, spoonbills, grebes and pelicans come here to breed and nest
for about six months from October/November to March, depending
on the monsoons. At the height of the breeding season, there can be up
to 30,000 birds at once. The best times to visit are early morning and
late afternoon. |
