Pulicat Lake Bird Sanctuary, Bird sanctuary in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh, India
The second largest brackish water lagoon in India spans 450 square kilometers between the states of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.
The lagoon formed naturally through the separation of sand from the Bay of Bengal, creating a protected ecosystem for diverse bird species.
Local communities of 34 villages with 40,000 inhabitants maintain traditional fishing practices while coexisting with the sanctuary's conservation efforts.
The sanctuary receives migratory birds from October to March, when visitors can observe numerous species including flamingos, pelicans, and storks.
The Sriharikota Island separates the lagoon from the Bay of Bengal, providing protection for over 250 bird species during peak migration seasons.
