Storks and Crocodiles in Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary in Karnataka, India
One of our favourite bird watching spots is Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary in Karnataka (near Mysore), where many large migratory birds stay during breeding season. It is definitely a unique experience to move in a small boat freely between all those wild birds, bats and crocodiles.
We have been so often there that it is meanwhile not so exciting for me to film all those beautiful animals again and again, and I use mainly to simply sit and watch and enjoy. But at least some little takes I cannot avoid to make - so here You see from our last visit some beautiful storks (Asian Open Bill Stork or Anastomus Oscitans, Painted Stork or Mycteria Leucocephala, Eurasian Spoon Bill Stork or Platalea Leucorodia) and some lazy Mugger Crocodiles (Crocodylus Palustris).
Sound: Kaveri over Glass Rocks (bangalorebobbel)
Einer unserer Lieblingsplätze zum Vögel beobachten ist das Ranganathittu Vogelschutzgebiet in der Nähe von Mysore, wo viele große Zugvogelarten brüten, Flughunde in den Bäumen hängen und Krokodile geduldig warten, dass ihnen die Vögel nur so in den Mund fliegen. Ist schon toll, mit einem kleinen Ruderboot frei zwischen all den wilden Tieren rumzufahren.
Wir sind relativ häufig dort, und inzwischen sitze ich meist nur im Boot und beobachte - aber so ganz kann ich das Filmen dann doch nicht lassen. Hier also drei der bei unserem letzten Besuch am meisten vertretenen Arten von Störchen und ein paar lazy Krokos.
In der Reihenfolge ihres Auftretens: Silberklaffschnabel (Anastomus oscitans), Buntstorch (Mycteria leucocephala), Löffler oder auch Löffelreiher (Platalea leucorodia), Sumpfkrokodil (Crocodylus palustris). Der Buntstorch gehört übrigens zu den Nimmersatten, muss also eng mit mir verwandt sein ...

#RANGANATHITTU #BIRDSANTUARY #CROCODILE
RANGANATHITTU BIRD & CROCODILE SANTUARY is quite close to Srirangapattana, no public transport available to reach this place. Sanctuary is very well maintained with necessary information for bird enthusiasts. It may sound cruel but if timings are right you may spot the marsh crocodiles on the islands waiting for the bird hatchlings to fall from the trees always hogs the limelight. This time around, we saw more exotic birds than bats, with nearly 7 crocodiles spotted. The boat ride is something which is equally enjoyed by both kids & adults.
Better to visit in morning hours to enjoy boat ride. Its a nice place to visit with family. The back water spreads over big area and have many crocodiles which can be easily seen around. Apart from birds n crocks one can take a walk around through perfectly maintained delightful gardens. Here the staff are very well informed and friendly. Entry fee and boat ride is Rs 140/pax n car parking is Rs 50.
