Description
Karaivetti Bird Sanctuary is a protected wetland area and Ramsar site covering approximately 454 hectares. The sanctuary is one of the largest inland freshwater lakes in the State of Tamil Nadu. It provides important stopover and foraging ground for birds migrating along the Central Asian Flyway. The gum Arabic tree (Acacia nilotica) provides roosting and nesting grounds for threatened species such as Greater Spotted Eagle and Oriental Darter. When the water level starts receding after January, larger birds like Painted Stork flock to the site. The lake is home to migratory birds such as Bar-headed Goose, Northern Pintail, Northern Shoveler, Garganey, Osprey and Common Sandpiper and many more.
