Mandagadde bird sanctuary is 30 kms from Shimoga on the highway to Mangalore. The backwaters of the river tunga dam in the dense forest of the western ghats attract birds from far away countries.
The river forms a little island, which is famous for the migratory birds sighted there.
The birds that can be seen here are the Median Egret, Little Cormonant, Darter, and the Snake Bird. The sanctuary is a bird watcher’s delight, with the island being a perfect heaven for bird nesting.
The best time to visit the bird sanctuary is August to September. Birds come here to lay eggs and go back after hatching them.
