PATNA BIRD SANCTUARY
54 km. The Patna Bird Sanctuary, located at Jalesar sub division of
Etah district, is spread over an area of 108 hactare . This resort was
given recognition as a protected sanctuary in the year 1991.
Ornithologists have reported about 300 different species of exotic
birds with multicolour plumes clustering here for roosting and
breeding during the peak season of winter months. These winged
visitors start migrating back when hot weather conditions set in
during the month of March. The scenic beauty of the sanctuary with
intertwined date trees provides a topographic atmosphere akin to Goa,
in Uttar Pradesh. Besides the migratory birds, Patna Bird Sanctuary is
a permanent abode for local birds also, which abound all through the
year. For long it has been a favourite breeding centre for a large
number of migratory birds.
An old and historic temple dedicated to Lord Shiva attracts thousands
of pilgrims for spiritual pursuits. It is the thinkling of the temple
bells mingled with the chirping of birds that creates an atmosphere of
rare tranquility here.
NAWABGANJ BIRD
SANCTUARY
45 km. On the Lucknow-Kanpur Highway, this bird sanctuary attacts rare
Siberian migratory birds.
Accommodation: UPSTDC Priyadarshini Motel.
