Magadi Bird Sanctuary, Bird sanctuary in Gadag district, India
The Magadi Bird Sanctuary extends across 134 acres of wetlands, hosting numerous water birds and migratory species throughout different seasons of the year.
The sanctuary emerged from the Magadi tank, which has a catchment area of 900 hectares and has attracted birds from Central Asia for more than a decade.
Local villagers maintain a harmonious relationship with the bird population, offering guidance to visitors while preserving the natural environment of the sanctuary.
Located 26 kilometers from Gadag, 8 kilometers from Shirhatti, and 11 kilometers from Lakshmeshwar, the sanctuary provides access points along the Gadag-Bangalore Road.
The Bar-headed Geese in this sanctuary display unusual feeding patterns by consuming agricultural crops like barley, rice, and wheat instead of fish or amphibians.
