An obscure
village in Sorab taluk of Shimoga district, comes
alive in June as the energetic chirping of birds fills
the air. The tree-lined banks of the Gudavi Lake become
a brilliant mosaic of colours, with branches buried
under bright plumage. The grey heron, night heron,
little cormorant, jungle fowl, waterfowl, white-headed
crane, pond heron, and the black-headed crane - you'll
find them all holidaying at Gudavi. Their symphony
can be heard miles away. |
