Chitrangudi Bird Sanctuary

It is notable as a nesting site for several migratory heron species that roost in the prominent growth of Babul trees there.

The wetland is irregular in depth and retains water for 3 to 5 months if rain is normal.

Excess flood water is let out towards Chitrangudi village through a sluice gate about .5 km (0.31 mi) from the inlet aqueduct.

The invasive Prosopis is slowly encroaching on much of the sanctuary area, retarding growth of babuls.

The medicinal plants Ocimum sanctum and Gloriosa superba also grow in the area.
