These birds arrive here Oct – Nov, Their activities: mating, building nests, hatching their eggs, after fending for their chicks for a couple of months they re-migrate in May. For the villagers of Kokrebellur: these birds are like a daughter coming home for delivery.... The women particularly are very sensitive about these birds. Kokrebellur is not a bird sanctuary, but just a village. A village with many tamarind trees which are home to these migratory birds year after year.
It is a quiet affair during these months, just like any other month of the year; no touristy stuffs are done in these villages. You will find it difficult to find any shop offering tourist support there. People drive in from city, halt for an hour, some photography done, they leave the place without disturbing the nesting birds. A couple of shots shared here.

Great shots and commentary on the rhythm of life. It's spring in my part of the world, birds are pairing up, building nests ready for a new burst of life.
Lovely shots of virds in fkight! No touristy stuff, all the more attravtive:)
Do they build their nest in the tamarind tree? We make good use of the fruit (home country, Philippines) such as candied fruit and used as seasoning for soups.
Wonderful shots of the flying Pelicans with twigs in their beak. Unfortunately I am yet to acquire a camera to have such captures. There is a Bird Sanctuary some 130 kms south of Chennai known as Vedanthangal where I had the opportunity of seeing them in thousands but none of them were close enough.
nice shots and interesting story of conservation by villagers!!!

Lovely shot! Love the bird in flight! So beautiful!
Wow! Gorgeous shots! I've heard of a village where adjutant storks come to nest. Watching pelicans like that must be a truly wonderful experience!
It's nice to know that there is a place where the pelicans can nest without being disturbed. You got some wonderful shots of the birds with their building materials.
I love pelicans. I love watching them glide through the skies! Wonderful!

I have never seen a pelican (except in photos) and think they are such interesting looking birds. How lucky you are to watch them!

How many times one watches a bird building its nest.
