BNHS is all set to once again host the popular Flamingo Festival. This is the best opportunity to see and appreciate the beauty of nearly 15,000 flamingos spread out on the mudflats, with the backdrop of lush mangroves. This is also a good chance to see several other species of resident and migratory avian friends such as herons, egrets, ibises, gulls, terns, plovers, sandpipers, kingfishers and many more, absolutely Free under the guidance of BNHS experts.
This year’s Festival is being supported by Mumbai Port Trust. Along with the opportunity to view the birds to one’s heart’s content, the Festival will also have a colourful illustrated exhibition on flamingos and various stalls offering interesting nature education activities. The winners of the painting, poetry writing and slogan writing competitions held by BNHS, will be felicitated at the venue. This is also an occasion to show one’s solidarity for the conservation of our city’s wildlife and habitats.
