WATCH: More about Kokkarebellur - the ecosystem model managed and owned by the community! Besides living alongside birds for several centuries, the people of this village have also come together to rejuvenate many smaller wetlands in and around the village - resulting in more winged visitors like the painted stork and the spot-billed pelican!

Kokkare Bellur village of water birds, Mandya
A Pelican chick walks up to a villager with such confidence that you can immediately tell the comfort level that both the birds and the villagers here have with each others' presence in their lives! The three school girls passing by don't bat an eyelid...
Kokkare Bellur village is situated in Mandya District, 80
kilometers from the state capital, Bangalore. Its landscape
resembles that of a typical dry land with the perennial Shimsha
flowing to its south. Cultivated and fallow fields, cactus hedges
and old and new trees of tamarind, banyan, pipal, babul, gular
or atthi, neem, mother-in-law’s tongue tree, mango, rain tree,
portia, mark the landscape.
For six months of the year, Kokkare Bellur looks like any
other village in South Karnataka. But from December to June
hundreds of spot billed pelicans and painted storks move into
and occupy the tamarind and banyan tree tops, to nest and
breed in the heart of the village. The pelicans arrive first and
settle on the crown of mature large canopied trees, while the
lighter and more agile storks come in a few weeks later and
settle on the outer branches of the same trees. Some trees
are so populated that the nests touch one another. Over the
following six months birds and humans by and large co-exist
peacefully as they have done for generations. It is as if the
entire village gets a two-tiered structure with the humans living
downstairs and the birds living upstairs.
Besides these birds, this tiny village plays host to at least 139
other bird species, including little grebe, grey heron, night heron,
white ibis, purple moorhen, whitespotted fantail flycatcher and
many others.

The vanishing wings of Kokkarebellur - Documentary film
Nearly 30 years ago, the village of Kokkarebellur in Mandya district of Karnataka was home to more than 2000 pelicans and the numbers have now dwindled to a mere 400 birds.
The cell phone-shot documentary, ‘The vanishing wings of Kokkarebellur’ is the work of Shravan Regret Iyer of Bengaluru. This 10-minute long documentary highlights the issues surrounding the decline in the number of fish-eating birds migrating to Kokkarebellur. The documentary was released by freedom fighter, H.S. Doreswamy in Bengaluru recently.
Decades ago, the villagers used to pray God seeking that these fish-eating birds must nest near their houses so that they could use the droppings of these birds as natural fertilizers. Such was the significance of these birds to this village and the villagers. Times have changed and the villagers now prefer chemical fertilizers to natural fertilizers.
Today, there are only about 200 trees left in the village where the birds nest. Rapid urbanization and environmental degradation by the mankind has reduced the number of favourable conditions required for these birds to nest here.
Illegal sand mining along the river beds leads to the shrinking of water bodies which provide food for these migratory birds.
Also, there are about four sugarcane factories, one each in Pandavapura, Koppa, K M Doddi and Mandya, which discharge their effluents into the river Shimsha thereby affecting the aquatic life. This in turn results in non-availability of food for these birds.
There has been an increase in demand for firewood to cook food and also to burn bricks that are manufactured here for local use. This has caused the decline in the number of trees both in and around the village.
Every season is a new life for these birds. How many more seasons of life do we intend to give these birds?
With the nesting grounds soon disappearing, who will know of these birds if they are gone forever?
AMAZING VILLAGE KOKKAREBELLUR... AVIAN HUB HD
..7 Jan 2015... HD.....This village Kokkarebellur is about 84 km from Bangalore, Karnataka, India....famous for its Spot Billed Pelicans and Painted Storks that can be sighted here in vast numbers during season time....the village thrives on the birds' droppings, which are rich in potassium. Villagers use these bird droppings as manure for their cultivation... They believe birds bring in good luck and prosperity. The birds love the habitat and the people love the birds !! ....large colonies of Spot-billed Pelicans and Painted Storks nesting in trees within the village ....The place is not a traditional sanctuary; the visiting birds here live and mingle freely with the humans....Seeing a Pelican here is as common as seeing a crow or sparrow!!!

Suraj Narredu on Super Storm The Mysore 2000 Guineas 2012
Satish Narredu - trained Super Storm was brilliantly ridden by Suraj Narredu to win the Mysore 2000 Guineas
Satish Narredu trained Super Storm (Rebuttal-Cielo Vodkamrtini) won the Mysore 2000 Guineas (Gr.3), which featured the day’s races at Mysore on Friday. The second classic of the season had attracted ten runners with Equine Lover being the only filly among them. The filly had won all her three races, starting from a 7 furlongs trip for maidens, then the Nawab M Arshad Ali Khan Memorial Cup and the latest being the Mysore 1000 Guineas. She had developed her own style of running and was growing to be a champion in the making. This was an enticement for the trainer S.Padmanabhan to pitch Equine Lover against the ‘boys’ for a Guineas double which only six fillies –Nicolette, Blue Ice, Birthday Girl, Golden Fantasy, Crown Treasure and Adamile- have been successful in achieving the feat on this track.
The filly’s performance when compared to the other nine in the race prompted the bookmakers to offer a short price while Southern Opinion from S.Ganapathy’s yard and Satish’s Super Storm were the only two who seemed to be in the reckoning as far as the action in the betting ring went, both going into the race at ‘eights’. Southern Opinion had decimated the opposition in a lead up race this season and looked to be heaving a fair chance. Super Storm had two big wins to his credit, the Governor’s Trophy and the Bangalore Juvenile Million (Gr.3) at Bangalore and his second to Borsalino in the Kingfisher Derby in ‘soft’ going was eye-catching.
There was a heavy downpour the previous evening and the track was indeed wet, although the ground which had gone dry after a long dry spell, took in most of the water. There was bright sunshine as the day started but the clouds congregated as the races progressed and a sharp shower came down during fourth race of the day, which further rendered the track sluggish.
Equine Lover likes to set her own pace and that’s what she did when the race took off. At the half way stage Equine Lover was still in front, followed by Absolute Majority, Samara Sun, Southern Opinion, Courage in Red, Treasure Mountain and Super Storm, with Unforgettable, Wind Stream and Cecil being the back-markers. Super Storm started to make headway before the turn for home and was a handy third behind Equine Lover and Southern Opinion. David Alan guided Equine Lover towards harder ground, away from the inner rails, as most of the riders would prefer to do under such sluggish going and Suraj Narredu was quick to follow the filly. Southern Opinion in the meanwhile went for the rails run. Approaching the distance post, Equine Lover started to veer out and was beginning to run erratic, under pressure. David kept using the stick on the right, despite the fact that the filly was leaning left and that was something most of her supporters failed to digest. Super Storm in the meanwhile inched closer and breezed past to emerge victorious. Equine Lover finished on, being second while the stable companion Unforgettable ended up in the third position.
