Malyadi is a small village just 24 kms from Udupi. It has been home for both large congregation of resident birds. One can also see lot of migratory birds here. Over the years number of birds visiting this place us increasing steadily. This has prompted the people in developing it is bird sanctuary.
This place, spread over 1.5 sq. kms, is actually an abandoned clay query. Since then it has become a marshland as excessive rain water got accumulated in this land.
The flora and fauna differs from what is found locally. This may be one of the reasons for the birds showing interest here. You can see migratory birds coming here during the winter time and leave before the first monsoon rains.
One can see numerous birds here. To name a few – Whistiling Teals, Purple Moorhen, White Ibis, Comb duck, Carmorants and Darters.
