Udayamarthandapuram Bird Sanctuary, Bird sanctuary in Tiruvarur District, Tamil Nadu, India
The sanctuary encompasses 45 hectares of wetlands sustained by irrigation tanks connected through canals, providing habitats for numerous bird species throughout the year.
In 1999, the sanctuary received official protected status under the Indian Wildlife Protection Act, marking a significant step in preserving its ecological importance.
Local communities participate in bird conservation while maintaining traditional agricultural practices that utilize the wetland's water resources for farming.
The sanctuary reaches peak bird populations between September and December, with over 10,000 birds including white ibises, grey herons, and purple moorhens.
The wetland system receives water from Mettur Dam through the Koraiyar Canal, creating an interconnected network that supports both resident and migratory birds.
