Many places in Gujarat, including Kutch, are home to sanctuaries and national parks where rare species of migratory birds fly thousands of kilometres each year during the winter.
Such unusual birds have been spotted in Kutch’s small desert.
It’s worth mentioning that these birds stay for about four months, which is a welcome sight for bird watchers.
Exotic birds are said to flock in large numbers to the small desert of Kutch every year, according to reports. These birds, especially in the winter, come here in search of food. Various birds such as ducks, flamingos, surkhabs, and kunjs migrate here from thousands of kilometres away.
Bird watchers and visitors alike pay a visit to see these birds in large numbers. The Horse Sanctuary Dhrangadhra is constantly monitored to ensure that no one hunts or harms these birds.
Tourists are guided and given information about these birds, which are usually seen in the early mornings. It’s worth noting that nesting occurs during the cold season as well, with up to 50,000 nests being seen this winter.
