Situated right in the heart of the city on Chhaya Road and spread across just 1 km, Porbandar Bird Sanctuary is the smallest bird sanctuary of India. All serious birders out there, don't miss this little paradise while serious birding far and wide across the wetlands of Porbandar. You will miss a pearl in search of the stars! You will find all the species right here at a stone's throw. Very well maintained and heavily protected on the periphery by high walls and gates with very active and co operative guards keeping an eye on our winged immigrants and passage guests alike with our resident birds. This beautiful little aviary caught me by utter surprise! As I entered, I skimmed across all the birds I was documenting for 2 days at the surrounding wetlands of the city. Pat I began my ebird checklist and started adding flamingos, pelicans, stints, gulls, stilts, ibises, spoon bills, cormorants, Sandpiper, herons, egrets, geese, ducks, grebes, shovellers, pintails, terns, gulls, shelducks, shanks, storks and many more. Sighting big flocks of cranes and demoiselles here was a lifer! As it was sunset time, it was a spectacle to witness huge flocks of big birds coming in for roosting. And the tiny swifts, swallows and martens made a pretty sight hovering over the little lake in scattered groups. Gujarat forest department is leading in bird protection and conservation in the country. No wonder our feathered friends find it so safe to be in the middle of a bustling city, to come in large numbers and spend their warm winters without a worry. The sanctuary has very well maintained restroom, a gazebo for relaxation, picnicking, workouts or yoga, a watch tower to feast your eyes on the beaked beauties with your binoculars or spotting scopes or photograph them up super close with your lenses. There's a well maintained walkway along the length of the lake with pictures and names of birds found in the lake to educate visitors.

It is the only sanctuary in India, which lies in the heart of city of Porbandar and is a unique example of co-existence of man and nature. It is the only bird sanctuary of the Gujarat that provides legal protection to varied species of birds which nest here. Porbandar Bird Sanctuary is the smallest bird sanctuary spread over in an area of 1 square km. The sanctuary has a lake attracting migratory birds and other birds such as teals, fowls, flamingos, ibis and curlews Good for nature lovers, Birds lovers Best for students also

A small walable stretch of around half an kilometre will drag to know many species of birds. Porbandar Bird Sanctuary is living example of coexistence of human and wild life. It could be one of the sanctuary which is based out in city amongst houses and factories. It nests myriad varieties of domestic as well as migrated birds. Best time to visit could be September to February. I realy enjoyed myself in the company of birds. Faith Amol Nakve

A small lake amidst the concrete of Jungles , and there plenty of birds in open habitat . Just exhilarating . In Porbandar ,I liked the bird sanctuary the most .there are sufficient places to sit , a watchtower is there to see the beautiful birds . First time in my life , I saw pink flamingo , that also in mid April , and was super excites to spot them . A paradise for not only bird watchers but for every visitor .. ~Travelling Twogether ♥️

It's mainly a small boundary /walk way(size of a service lane) besides the lake , but nice and peaceful to watch some birds (that come to this lake) . The good thing here is no birds are caged, it's a natural place where migratory birds come Only one thing : do take your binoculars to have a good view of all birds coming here.

Nature park where u can see so many beautiful birds. Enjoyed a lot with nature. Good location for picture but I must suggest to enjoy the bird seeing because it will give you peace of mind. You will get happiness because here birds are free to fly not like zoo.
