In recent times, nature lovers, bird watchers, students and many tourists have been having an enjoyable time at Atapaka Bird Sanctuary with thousands of migratory birds arriving at Kolleru Lake.
Mounds, trees and iron stands erected by the Forest Department in the lake were swarming with the winged visitors, much to the joy of birdwatchers.
“The number of the winged visitors to the State was good this year. Around 1.50 lakh birds arrived in the sanctuaries, water bodies and wetlands in Andhra Pradesh this migratory season,” said Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife) Shanti Priya Pandey.
