Birding at Mangalajodi Wetlands

Posted on 28/02/2024by Abhishek Deepak

Yellow BitternMangalajodi is a great place for birding from the months of December to March mainly for migratory birds. I had visited this place during the month of February. It is less than two hours drive from Bhubaneshwar which is the capital city of Orissa. Mangalajodi is a village located at the Northern edge of Chilika Lake.

Here I am sharing various photos taken during my three day stay at Mangalajodi.
