There are a number of water bodies in West Bengal which attract a large number of migratory birds during the winter season. Among them, the most significant lake is in Santragachi, in Howrah, just across the River Hooghly from Kolkata. A huge variety of migratory birds are seen here, especially during the winter months. This lake is regarded as a bird sanctuary.
A large number of bird watchers and photographers visit here regularly to spot rare birds. This lake is locally known as the Santragachi Jheel, ‘Jheel’ means ‘a big lake’. In this 21st Century, most lakes and water bodies are being filled up for real estate purposes.
The Santragachi Jheel is located beside the Santragachi Railway Station which is a part of the South Eastern Railway. It is a huge lake. The total area of this lake is more than 1375000 square feet. The lake is a property of the South Eastern Railway.
The Forest Department of West Bengal as well as the South Eastern Railway maintain the lake and its surroundings. The number of migratory birds has been increasing every year since the lake is an ideal habitat for them.
The environment around the lake is absolutely pristine and perfect for the birds from cooler climates. The fresh air around the lake is a very good place for morning walkers and other health conscious people. Other water bodies in the city are slowly getting polluted and hence the number of birds is increasing in this particular lake.
Migratory Birds Found in Santragachi Jheel
Migratory Birds found in Santragachi JheelA large number of birds fly in from across the Himalayas and other cold countries every year. There are birds from distant places like North America and Australia as well.
Rare birds like the Gadwall, Northern Pintail, Northern Shoveler and Garganey fly in from the cold Siberian region as Siberia becomes unbearably cold during the winter season.
Saras Cranes migrate from North America. Some of the other bird species that fly in are Comb Duck, Ferruginous Pochard, Swinhoe’s Snipe and Fulvous Whistling Duck.
The Swinhoe’s Snipe is a major attraction among the bird watchers and photographers. Among the famous bird species from Siberia, the Baikal Teal is found. This diversity of migratory birds of varied colours and characteristics is what makes this Santragachi Jheel a rare habitat for birds.
Local Birds in Santragachi Jheel
There are obviously a lot of local species of birds which inhabit the lake all-round the year, unlike the migratory birds which leave the lake at the end of the winter season. The Comb Duck and the Cotton Pygmy Goose are among the local migratory birds which fly in from other parts of India.
The most widely found bird species in this lake is the Lesser Whistling Duck which is a local bird and is present in the lake permanently. The local breeding birds inhabiting the lake are the Bitterns and the Jacanas.
Best Time to Visit Santragachi Jheel
The best time to pay a visit here would be the winter season, especially in the months of November to February. This is so because the number of the migratory birds increases during the winters. If you go at early morning (around 6.30 am) or during late afternoon (4 pm afterwards), your visit to the Jheel would prove worth it.
How to reach Santragachi Jheel from Howrah
Santragachi Jheel is just beside the Santragachi Railway Station. Santragachi Railway Junction is a short ride from Howrah. Bus service is also available from Howrah. The bus ride to Santragachi is also a very short one and a large number of buses are available. The jheel is easily accessible from both the railway station and the bus stop.
Tourists can also take trains from the Howrah Railway station. You need to travel an approximate distance of 7 km from Howrah Railway Station to the Santragachi Jheel.
Santragachi Jheel has the potential to become one of the best bird sanctuaries in the country, provided it is maintained well.
