From Sholas to Streams: Avian Gems of Kerala
Kerala offers a bird-lover’s dream: forests that slope down to rivers, sholas that hold secrets, wetlands that mirror skies, and plateaus where endemic songbirds flourish. In places like Thattekad, Eravikulam, Shendurney, and Amarambalam, every dawn brings calls of Malabar grey hornbills, laughing thrushes, woodpeckers, and sunbirds. In Kerala, birding isn’t just watching, it’s stepping into a world alive with color, song, and motion.
