The boat-way to heaven
Don't anticipate an ordinary bird sanctuary when you venture into this haven. Maybe small, but its endless charm lies in the boat journey through marshy mangroves, where the gentle breeze sways and birds flit gracefully from branch to branch, offering fleeting glimpses of their beauty. The birds will hold your attention well, but if you do get distracted, it will be for the twisted, winding barks and leaves that have created their very own art.
Lots of different birds live in the sanctuary, like the striated heron and western reef heron. Sometimes, you can spot other birds there too, like the little bittern, black bittern, red knot, jack snipe, and pied avocet when they stop by on sandy banks.
Besides birds, the sanctuary is home to mudskippers, fiddler crabs, and other creatures that love living in mangroves. A species of crustacean, Teleotanais indianis, has also been found here.
As the boat winds down the stream, you will feel the sun shimmering down on the water. Keep a close look. Sometimes you might spot a fish or two just slithering away to their regular lives.
