Kodathi Village and its adjoining areas needs undivided attention and a good amount of visits before we hang our boots…Gem of a place for birding. It has the right mix of open land on one side. trees on the other, paddy fields, Nice tar road which hardly sees vehicle movement and lots of electricity poles all around. Can we ask for any better setting for birds? 🙂
I used to wonder why i am not able to spot Indian Roller and its one bird which has surprisingly eluded me for a long time…My first sighting happened here and trust me…the bird was not at all happy 🙂 have a look at his face.
Not seen a bird before, Eh?
I made another visit to the same place 2 days later and hit upon an early migrant pecking away at its worms… A Green sandpiper! Yes, the migratory birds have started.

India - Nature, Travel And Birding 
I also had to wait for long to see an Indian Roller while others used to spot it everywhere.
Good to know i am not alone…:) The other birds which are supposedly common and which have irritatingly eluded me are
1) Coppersmith Barbet,
2) Rufous treepie (Have only seen it flying away through elusive trees…:( )
3) Common Kingfisher (Yes. i am not joking. Why do all the white breasted kingfisher come my way while all the common kingfishers stay away from me…Ahhhh! )
4) Indian Blue robin
5) Oriental Magpie robin.
Sir, take me as well.
Sure thing. This weekend and the next weekend i am in Kerala (hopefully capturing all the kerala birds!) The week after that i am planning to go. Will keep you informed.
Ajit, where exactly is this place
From Sarjapur road wipro corporate office you need to go on sarjapur road for a KM. At the Doddakannali junction you need to take a right and the road will lead you to Primus and Prakriya school. Once you hit the school keep going on this road till you reach a cross juction. (There is a jaw droppingly beautiful tree at this junction. Something which cannot be missed) If you take a left it will take you to BTI (bangalore technology institue). The road further from BTI is the place i am talking about. At the cross junction you can go straight ahead as well, thats also a gem of a place as it takes you to some village. The way ahead is through some farm houses which are so beautifull and thickly populated with trees that u will feel u are in a hill station for a while. (I have not explored the route further…went a little ahead and came back)
If you can wait till 10th Sep, Vaibhav, u and others who are interested can meet up at a common place in Sarjapur road and make a trip early in the morning. Though i dont think there are any safety issues, the place is quite desolate and i wont mind going in a group.
Amazing article, thank you, I will visit again later.
