Birds are Prefer Thol compare to Nalsarovar
Birds at Nal Sarovar vs Thol are going to be prized sightings this year as the birds seem to have decided to make an appearance only for avid birders.
If you are planning a trip for a coveted glance of the migratory birds, you might have to dig in much deeper into the lake and look much harder.
Thanks to good rainfall all over the state, the water levels at Thol and Nal haven’t yet reduced enough to attract the hordes of stunning guests close to the shores.
Even in first week of January, the birds are not visible from the embankments. But visitors need not lose heart as foresters and birders have noticed that the migrated beauties are spread over a larger expanse, even outside the sanctuary area and various unexpected parts of the state as several new wetlands have emerged.
“This time the rainfall has been good across the state and therefore we are expecting higher number of migratory birds. Currently, the natural water level at Thol is at 7 feet and Nal is 6 feet. While at Thol we do get to see the birds within the sanctuary, at Nal we get to see most outside,” said range forest officer, BP Khamar.
Birdwatcher Bakul Trivedi agrees with Khamar. “Birds have distributed themselves in the state wherever they have found water in plenty,” he says.
Birdwatchers in the state are of the strong opinion that fewer migratory birds at one or two concentrated places need not necessarily mean a drop in the numbers.
Another regular birdwatcher observes that diving birds are comfortable with higher water levels and others with low levels. “At Thol, birds are in great numbers and good to watch and enjoy. However, because of wider water expanse, they are difficult to see easily. Also, in most cases owing to high water levels, the roost sites have been filled with water,” he said.
Despite this, birds like, Greylag Goose, Common Teal, Mallards, Wigeon, Common Pochard, and more are seen at Thol. While the bird biennial state bird census will take place in February, dates of which are yet to be decided, forest officers are expecting good numbers this year.
If Khamar is to be believed then birds namely, Great Crested Grebe, Grey Heron, Purple Heron, Open Billed Stork, Garganey Teal (Garganey Duck), Common Crane, Tufted Duck, Indian Shag, and more are seen at the wetlands.
