Flamingo Festival in Nellore

Flamingo Festival : Flamingo festival at the famous brackish water lake Pulicat in Nelapattu Bird Sanctuary located at Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh.In Sullurupeta  held from January 20,21,22.

This festival is being held for the last 16 years to attract tourists to the sanctuary from the state and neighbouring states but lack of publicity has been the reason for poor attendance from the neighbouring state. This is one of the reasons for planning wide publicity in Chennai city to highlight the unique festival to the metro citizens and generate interest to ensure their attendance.
Flamingo festival provides an unique opportunity for people, particularly ornithologists, environmentalists, bird watchers, forest and tourism officials to not only study the bio-diversity of Pulicat and Nellapattu Bird Sanctuary, but also initiate measure to conserve the bio-zones for future generations. Pulicat lake, which is spread over an extent of 460 sq km, has Sulurpet, Dorvari Satram, Vakadu and Kota mandals in Nellore district bordering it. Thousands of birds of nearly 240 species visit the lake during winter. The annual visitation of birds, makes Pulicat and Nellapattu, a visual delight.
The winged species will prepare nests, brood the eggs and return to their native places along with their young ones by April.The migratory birds regularly visiting the district, include pelicans, flemingos, painted strokes, red legged cranes, pintails and black-winged birds.
