Overview

This man-made lake plays host to a number of species of birds, both resident and migratory. The lake and the forested area around it are so famous for its avian population that it has since been declared the Carambolim Bird Sanctuary. This peaceful and serene lake is counted not just as one of the best places for bird watching in Goa, but also one of the best places in India for bird watching. The birds here are of both aquatic and terrestrial types and although they are mostly herbivorous, there are also some avian fishers among them.

Highlights

Birds seen here include:

Pintal, Lesser Whistling Teal, Cattle Egret, Pond Heron, Purple Moorhen, Red-rumped Swallow, Little Egret, Bronze-winged Jacana, Pheasant Tailed Jacana and the Coot

Cattle Egrets, White Breasted Water Hens and Northern Pintails who visit as part of their winter flight

If you're lucky you can spot Shovelers, Garganeys, open-billed Storks, Cotton Pygmy Goose and Marsh Harriers
