If you are a birdwatching enthusiast, one of the best places to find folks of a wide variety of lovely birds is Coorg. This hill station is blessed by nature with grasslands, thickets, and forests where birds of various hues love to nest. The joy of waiting in silence, and watching for a flock of birds to approach, watching them come close, unmindful of you, is a truly wonderful experience! Watching out for birds in the cool mornings, late evenings, or even in warm sunshine, enjoying the scents of the underbrush and wildflowers, and feeling the wind’s gentle caresses are all part of the birdwatching in Coorg.
Coorg is best for Birdwatchers
Coorg happens to be a great place for a wannabe ornithologist or just someone who wishes to watch wild birds in their element. How many types of birds can one spot? It is estimated that there are over 320 species of birds that can be found just around the Coorg region, aptly called the ‘Scotland of India’. This constitutes about 25% of all the bird species found across India. The birds one can easily spot are the Eurasian Spoonbill, the Great Cormorant, Painted Storks, Woolly-necked Stork, and more.
An experience like none other
The birds are unconcerned of any sort of worries that haunt mankind, and seem totally and always in complete joy, pecking fruits, crackling among themselves, and jabbering constantly or making cooing calls. They make us feel that there are no worries in nature – and that thought calms our senses. Seeing the multihued birds up close is a multi-sensory experience that brings immense joy. There are moments of exhilarating discovery and wonderment as the birds come closer to you or a feeling of loss when they fly away. Hearing the bird calls too has a salubrious effect on us.
