When Water Runs Dry
Koonthankulam Bird Sanctuary
It was July 2013 and I was in
Thiruvanathapuram on a short vacation. I was itching to visit a wildlife/bird
sanctuary in the monsoon season and spend a day or two improving my photography
skills. After some brainstorming my cousin suggested Koonthankulam Bird
Sanctuary in neighbouring Tamil Nadu.
I searched online and found
Koonthankulam Bird Sanctuary, in Thirunelveli district, to be a good choice.
The Sanctuary was around 140 kms away from Thiruvanathapuram. Google Maps indicated
a drive of approximately 2.5 hours. The online images of the birds taken at the
Sanctuary were very encouraging. The sanctuary attracted a lot of migrant birds
incl. Flamingos, Storks, Pelicans, Ducks etc. In peak season, the birds
numbered in the lakhs!
