Thol Bird Lake Sanctuary
View Of Sunrise
It's always a pleasure to see different types of beautiful birds and to observe and capture their actions.Let's get lost in the nature....Any guesses which place i'm talking about.?It's The Thol Lake Bird Sanctuary.
Everyone anxiously waiting for a weekend to feel fresh after a work load of whole week.So me with my friends have decided to visit these beautiful natural place.
Thol Sanctuary is situated near Thol village 20 kilometres from Kalol and 40 kilometres north-west of Ahmedabad, in Mehsana District. This lake, created in 1912, covers 7 sq. kms of mostly open water. There are small marshes at the edges and some scrub forest on the sides of the high embankments. In 1988, officially this Lake was renamed to Thol Bird Sanctuary. Thol name comes from the local village “Thol” situated near the lake.
Sunrises are beautiful and to add flavours to it migratory birds makes it divine.we missed the chance to see the sunrise.So it's nice if you reach there before 7:00 am.The agricultural land surrounding the lake provide ample amount of food for quite a number of birds while the hydrological ecosystem takes care of the others.
Thol promises a memorable birding experience and offers an incredible array of bird species, both resident and migratory. It is home to large nos. of visiting Great White Pelicans, Common Cranes and variety of waterfowls. One can even see (if lucky) some rare species like Mallard, Saras Crane, Ferruginous Pochard, Red-crested Pochard etc.Some of the snaps of thol...
The land near the lake was slippery .Have you ever experienced like “पैरों तले जमीन खिसक गयी”.”? If you want then visit the lake.I had an experienced while i was wandering near the lake.
