A lovely place where one can spend time watching blue tailed Bee eaters, green bee eaters and many other birds. Please make sure you are seated in one place and avoid walking around continuously as this disturbs the birds. Try visiting early morning around 6:30-45 and settle down in one spot outside the fenced area. Do not enter the fenced area as you will put the nests in danger.

The place is on the banks of river kaveri. And this is a bee eater bird reserved place. This place is particularly made for photographers in an another way naturally. I have seen a many photographers who were visiting during the time. There are many species available here at one place makes them advantage. But make sure you have sufficient food and beverages for the day to keep continuous of photography. The villagers are very friendly in guiding us to the location. The forest man who is looking after was also friendly in nature. He was cleaning the reserved ground for birds since the make nest in ground.

Really it's a bliss to watch the birds and they're simply fantastic. I always enjoy watching the nature at this place. I always kindly request the visitors not to disturb, not to litter, avoid smoking and drinking and also avoid throwing plastics.

Great work by the Karnataka forest dept for setting up a barb fence around the sensitive and important nesting/mating area of blue tail bee eaters. One can watch these birds do various activities on different perches.

To study the behaviour of bee-eaters, it's a best location. Kindly do not disturb or litter. We could find lots of plastic and cigarette butts all over the place. Also avoid going alone.

When you take your bike out, just go where your heart takes you and this is the place you come across. Totally calm and even on Sunday there was no one around. Must visit

This is a secret place where most of the people aren't aware of. It's quite difficult to trace the 'green bee-eater' bird. It's usually not crowded even on holidays. The public has taken advantage of this place and started nuisances like …

For a bird photographer, bird activity is important to understand it's behavior. The banks of river Cauvery in this location is excellent as these blue-tailed bee eaters are always on the move. Really hectic action and requires skill in capturing interesting moments
