Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary in Chennai
 
vedanthangal bird sanctuary chennaiChennai offers a treat for the nature lovers in the form of a bird Sanctuary at Vedanthangal. Vedanthangal is located about 90km from Kancheepuram and is easily accessible from Chennai by road. There are efficient bus and cab services from Chennai. The place can be reached by rail from Chennai and Chengalpettu.

Vedanthangal sanctuary is home to a large number of rare birds from time to time. It is a visual treat during sunset as one could see thousands of birds flying back to their nests. From the months October to March, one could see a lot of migratory birds from far away countries like Siberia, Australia, Srilanka and Pakistan. The birds which can be seen during this period are Flamingoes, kingfishers. Herons, swans, grey wagtails. Sandpipers, moor hens, egrets, pelicans and so on. They come here for nesting and breeding and by the time the migratory season is over, the birds would have increased in thousands.

A remarkable feature of Vedanthangal Sanctuary is the concern of the villagers towards the sanctuary. The villagers have consciously taken many decisions so as to avoid any disturbance or harm to the perennial flow of birds. All noisy activities are avoided here so as not to scare away the birds. The place is also relatively pollution free.

A lot of nature lovers and Ornithologists visit this place regularly. The Forest Department Rest House has provision for accommodation and several ornithologists camp there for weeks for bird watching.
