Birding at Kumta

Spotted Redshank

In December, on our way to Dandeli, we stopped at Kumta for a couple of days for a family function. Kumta is a town in North Karnataka, around 60kms from Karwar. We managed to spend a little time birding there. The main highlight was the salt pans in Kumta which provided very good views of big flocks of Spotted Redshanks, Black Winged Stilts, some Sandpipers and the other common water birds.
