Kolleru Lake Bird Sanctuary

Kolleru Bird Sanctuary is perhaps the best fresh water sanctuary in India.

 There is a host of wildlife within the sanctuary, which is located in the deltaic region between the rivers of Krishna and Godavari.

 The sanctuary is a haven for migratory birds, which fly all the way from Siberia, the Philippines, Australia and Egypt.

 During the winter season in India, these birds come to nest at the sanctuary.

 The sanctuary is situated about 65 kilometres from the city of Vijayawada and offers a wonderful opportunity to bird watches and nature lovers to see some really rare species of birds.

 Kolleru Bird Sanctuary was established in 1999 and is protected by the Wildlife Protection Act.

The placid lake and the lush greenery makes it an ideal refuge for birds, such as red-chested pod chards, pintails, herons, egrets, migratory ducks, water birds, pelicans, teals, ibises and storks.

It also is home to 63 species of fish, crustaceans and molluscs.
