I 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 it is being guilty of something.
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 without any luck.

end of the season
Wonderful pics.Thankyou.Â
What’s the best season to visit this place?
I’m not sure. I was there in Jan & Apr (different years) and there were more birds in Jan than Apr. I believe Dec-Mar is a good time.
