I could also see a snipe, plenty of waders, egrets, cormorants, raptors, teals and much much more.  It was a bright, blue sunny day and the new designed Kumarakam corridor is a delight to ride.

Riding inside Kol is a unique experience; the long and winding bunds take you to unknown locations, where nature is at its theatrically best.
