RSS FeedKokkare Bellur: Revisited
Aug 25, 2008 Birds, Karnataka, Mandya, One day outing
Visited Kokkare Bellur again, 15 months after my first visit. There were not many birds this time. Painted Storks were around 20-25 in number.
Pelicans were very less in number. I counted 7 or 8 pelicans. I tried to get a decent shot of these big birds, but in vain. That pelican was hiding behind the tree branches as if its being guilty of something :P
Few of the sun-bathing Storks posed for the camera without hesitation.
And so was this squatting one
Bellur, became famous & got the prefix ‘Kokkare’ (Storks) because of these beautiful birds & is home for hundreds of storks & pelicans. The village is on the banks of river Shimsha, which flows on to join river Kaveri.
We thought of going on a coracle/boat ride & headed toward the river. Being summer the water was less & had to return back without luck.
