Flamingo bird festival a big draw for tourists in Nellore

Flamingo bird festival a big draw for tourists to Nellore is a rich cultural and visual treat for visitors, youth, schoolchildren and bird enthusiasts of Nellore. It will be held in the lake town, Sullurupeta. There will be musical nights, dance events and a variety of cultural programs during the three days with noted performers.
This has been reported in thehindu.com dated 26 December 2016.

The forest department staff would be making necessary arrangements at the Pulicat and Nelapattu bird sanctuaries for the convenience of the visiting tourists and the public. Subsequent to recent rains, Pulicat lake has received considerable inflows from the local streams. It has attracted plenty of Flamingo migratory birds for the past 10 days. These birds with their striking curve beaks and flame-coloured plumage present a seasonal treat on either side of the Sullurupeta-Sriharikota road.
Viewing towers have been put up at several points and resting areas on the Sriharikota road to enjoy the sights and bird enthusiasts can take a leisurely look at the bird life in the sanctuary.
