Mangalavanam-Bird-Sanctuary

Enhancing Kochi tourism is this biosphere reserve that is located in Central Cochin.
                    It is a natural habitat for many endangered and regular species of local and migratory birds, as well as mangrove vegetation.
                    The sanctuary encircles a tidal lake that is connected to the backwaters and one of the imperative places for sightseeing in Cochin, especially for nature lovers.
                    It is also home to several species of fishes.
                    In 2006, Mangalavanam Bird Sanctuary was home to 194 birds of 32 species.
                    Consider yourself lucky if you happen to spot redshank, greenshank, brahminy kite, white-breasted water hen, and marsh sandpiper.
                    The beautiful landscape of the sanctuary has earned it a spot on the list of best tourist places in Cochin.
