How To Reach Shekha Bird Sanctuary

Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India
Ecology and Formation: The Shekha Bird Sanctuary, also known as Shekha Jheel (Lake), is a vital freshwater perennial water body and a protected 25 hectare (62 acres) wetland. It came into existence following the construction of the Upper Ganges Canal in 1852, which flows adjacent to the lake and sustains its water supply. Avian Population: The sanctuary is a critical habitat for a vast array of migratory and resident bird species. It is most famous as a stopover and overwintering ground for species traveling along the central Asian flyway. Common sightings include various species of ducks, geese, spoonbills, storks, flamingos, ibises, and many types of local waders. Conservation Status: The wetland is recognized as an IUCN Category IV protected area (habitat/species management area) and is actively managed by the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department to maintain the ecological balance and protect the avian population from poaching and habitat degradation. Visitor Experience: The environment is exceptionally serene and peaceful, offering a true escape into nature. It provides an excellent opportunity for $mathbfornithologists}$ and nature photographers to observe bird life in its natural state, particularly during the peak winter season when the bird count is at its maximum.
