Seawoods Flamingo Point | Location details /Unknown Facts | Best Place to Explore Nature With Family

Описание: So I visited flamingo point which is located near DPS in Seawood, Navi Mumbai .This point has large areas of mudflats which are not only a safe habitat for flamingos in winter but also has adequate food availability. A large number of flamingos reach along with their babies from their breeding area Ran of Kutch in Gujarat, to Navi Mumbai every year. It is a very nice and secluded spot to watch flamingos who come every winters. There are lot of Flamingo spots to watch in Navi Mumbai , But Airoli and Seawood is better destination to watch them. Lot of people comes here to watch these beautiful birds if you are a bird lover then it is very suitable place to explore these beautiful creatures, You can watch these Flamingos from December to May each Year.
hope you like this video.
Come winter and thousands of pink flamingos fly into the creeks and sanctuaries of Mumbai from northwest India, Asia and beyond. The Thane Creek Flamingo Sanctuary is one of their favourite haunts. And the most important one too!

Flamingos come to Thane creek annually to feed on proliferating blue-green algae. They stay for 6-7 months before they fly back to their breeding grounds. Between October – May is a great time to spot flamingos in Mumbai, especially at the Thane creek flamingo sanctuary where they number in tens of thousands.
Thane Creek Flamingo Sanctuary, also sometimes referred to as the Airoli Flamingo Sanctuary (because of its location in an area by the same name), is the first flamingo sanctuary in India housed along the western bank of the Thane creek. It encompasses more than 1600 hectares of mudflats, mangroves, and water bodies between Vashi and Airoli.

The area was declared a flamingo sanctuary in 2015 and is home to substantial bird life – both residential and migratory. Today, Thane creek is one of the best places to spot flamingos in Mumbai – numbering up to thousands in every flock. You can also see pied avocets, black-headed ibis, western reef heron, common sandpiper, intermediate egrets, and plover birds. The mudflats also teem with crab life.

In 2017, the Coastal and Marine Biodiversity Center was established in the area. It has a beautiful museum with interesting displays of marine life. The best part is that the displays also include tactile and audible elements which make it a wonderful Mumbai destination for families.
Every year Thane creek in Mumbai plays home to two beautiful flamingo species – Greater Flamingo [the bigger species with a pink, black-tipped bill] and Lesser Flamingo [the smaller species with a brown bill]. Lesser flamingos are believed to arrive from Kutch in Gujarat while the Greater variety comes in from Northern and Central Asia, some as far as Siberia and Eurasia.

These flamingos migrate out of their breeding grounds to feed on an annual buffet of blue-green algae at Thane creek every year. The migration starts from October and the birds keep coming till March. March is absolutely the perfect time to see flamingos at Thane creek because bird count is the highest. Beginning of April, the birds start migrating back for their annual breeding cycles. Almost all of them are gone by the end of May.
