Ahmedabad, December 22 (ANI): The Nalsarovar Bird Sanctuary, located near Viramgam in Ahmedabad district, has once again emerged as a top destination for bird watchers and nature enthusiasts. Every winter, from December to March, millions of migratory birds make their way to the sanctuary, making it one of the most popular birding sites in India.The sanctuary spans 120.08 square kilometers, with its shallow waters attracting over 350 species of birds, both native and foreign. Among the many species, flamingos, known for their vibrant pink feathers, have become a major attraction for tourists and photographers. The vast, open lake, dotted with small islands, provides a perfect nesting and feeding ground for these birds.One of the key highlights of the sanctuary is the arrival of flamingos, who land after ensuring the water levels are safe.
