Mandagadde Bird Sanctuary, Bird sanctuary in Thirthahalli, India
Located on a 1.14-acre island in the Tunga River, Mandagadde Bird Sanctuary houses more than 5,000 different birds during migration season.
The sanctuary has been identified as one of the 20 most important bird conservation areas in India, protecting migratory patterns for generations.
Local residents maintain careful distance during nesting periods from July to September, respecting the natural cycles of Median Egrets and Darters.
A watchtower and coracle rides allow visitors to observe birds from multiple angles, with the sanctuary being accessible via National Highway from Shimoga.
The island becomes partially submerged during monsoons, causing birds to build their nests on the highest branches of trees for protection.
