Spread over a small area of about 1 sq. km., Porbandar Bird Sanctuary is a rare example of a bird area finding place within the limits of a city. Located on the migratory route of many birds, the sanctuary attracts huge numbers of birds during the peak winter months. Flamingos are the top attraction for the eager bird-watchers, while other spotted birds include pelicans, avocets, storks, cranes, terns, redshanks, herons, coots, cormorants, gulls, whistling teals, grebes, ducks and geese. Roaming around the freshwater lake inside the sanctuary during early morning hours can let you savour the chirping, splashing and other playful activities of the birds. The entire area can be explored on foot. Don’t forget to carry cameras and binoculars to experience the memorable trysts with these lovely winged creatures. A number of temples and historical sites are located close to the sanctuary.
