Thol Bird Sanctuary

Thol bird Sanctuary, located about 40 Kms northwest of Ahmedabad in mahesana district, is an absolute treat for you if you are an avid bird watcher. This marshy lake spread across 7 sq km is home to one of the most beautiful species of migratory birds; Flamingoes. Basides the flamingoes you can find several other species of birds here, such as Great White Pelicans a variety of waterfowl including Mallards and good numbers of Greylag Geese, Sarus Cranes, the odd Spotted Flycatcher and waders which include Eurasian Curlews.
This place is a little secluded away from the main city, so it is better to have your own vehical for commutation. If you are some one who is using public transport as the mode, you will have to take a autorickshaw or a bus to thol village. Its a walk of about 3 Km ahead on the highway from thereon to thol bird sanctuary.
So this is it guys, my new adventure and photography trip to thol bird sanctuary. Thanks Khoosh, my partner in all sorts of crazy programs, for being along (she has visited the place earlier)!!! It was a beautiful experience roaming around the forest and the lake in the scorching may heat of gujarat. But an absolute delight in terms of bird watching and some amateur photography!!!!
P.s: posted are a few pics which i took, for illustration!!
