Descrição

Pocharam Wildlife Sanctuary combines a large reservoir with dry deciduous woodland and scrub. The nine lake islands attract waterbirds like Painted Stork, Asian Openbill, Common Pochard, Cormorant, Black-headed Ibis, and wintering Bar-headed Goose. The surrounding forest holds raptors, bulbuls, warblers, woodpeckers, and more. Notably, Pocharam has multiple documentations of the endangered Black-bellied Tern, a rare inland species. With rich habitats and year-round bird activity, it's one of Telangana's most rewarding birding sites.
