Fudam Bird Sanctuary

Diu


Opposite the turn-off for Fudam is a horizon-scratching expanse of estuarine swamp, part of which is protected as the Fudam Bird Sanctuary. There's a grand gateway and then not much except some walkways and viewing areas from which to search for masses of waders, gulls and even flamingos.
