Once known for the maritime training institute located here\, the area has gradually transformed into a favored birding and walking spot thanks to its mix of freshwater pools\, grassy patches\, and scattered trees. The sight of sunrise over the wetlands\, with distant mangrove silhouettes and gentle ripples on the water\, lends the place a peaceful charm that contrasts beautifully with the bustling city around it. \n \n \n \n Today\, TS Chanakya stands as a cherished recreational and ecological space where walkers\, joggers\, and birdwatchers cross paths with fishermen and locals enjoying quiet moments. The tidal influence from the creek and the mix of wetland habitats draw a variety of wildlife\, particularly during the migratory season when the site comes alive with the calls and movements of visiting birds. Efforts by local naturalists and birding groups have helped highlight the ecological significance of the area\, encouraging appreciation and awareness for conserving this rare green-lung space amid rapid urban growth. \n \n \n \n \n Bird Guide: Shmes Sufyan Birding guide with 10+ years of experience\, holding a Master’s in Biodiversity\, Wildlife Conservation\, and Management.

Large waders such as Lesser and Greater Flamingos gather in impressive numbers\, often joined by Painted Storks\, Grey-headed Swamphens\, and Spot-billed Ducks along the shallow pools. The edges of the water bustle with activity from Wood Sandpipers\, Little Stints\, Eurasian Curlews\, and Common Sandpipers\, while Whiskered Terns skim gracefully over the water surface. The marshes and trees around the site host Little and Great Egrets\, Little Cormorants\, and charismatic kingfishers like the White-throated and Common Kingfisher. In the surrounding scrub and grassland\, birdwatchers can spot smaller but equally charming species including the Bluethroat\, Eurasian Hoopoe\, Ashy Prinia\, Ashy Drongo\, and White-eared Bulbul\, making the area a vibrant mosaic of wetland and woodland birdlife. \n \n \n \n \n Northern Pintail \n \n \n \n Spotted Dove \n \n \n \n Indian Spot - billed Duck \n \n \n \n Eurasian Curlew \n \n \n \n Common Kingfisher \n \n \n \n Black-winged Stilt \n \n \n \n Common Sandpiper \n \n \n \n Common Woodshrike \n \n \n \n Indian Pied Starling \n \n \n \n Asian Palm Swift \n \n \n \n Jungle Babbler \n \n \n \n Little Cormorant \n \n \n \n Grey-headed Swamphen \n \n \n \n Green Sandpiper \n \n \n \n Black-headed Ibis \n \n \n \n Pheasant-tailed Jacana \n \n \n \n Bronze-winged Jacana \n \n \n \n Great Egret \n \n \n \n Oriental Magpie Robin \n \n \n \n Ashy Drongo \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Summary of Walk \n \n \n \n At T.S.

Once known for the maritime training institute located here\, the area has gradually transformed into a favored birding and walking spot thanks to its mix of freshwater pools\, grassy patches\, and scattered trees. The sight of sunrise over the wetlands\, with distant mangrove silhouettes and gentle ripples on the water\, lends the place a peaceful charm that contrasts beautifully with the bustling city around it. \n \n \n \n Today\, TS Chanakya stands as a cherished recreational and ecological space where walkers\, joggers\, and birdwatchers cross paths with fishermen and locals enjoying quiet moments. The tidal influence from the creek and the mix of wetland habitats draw a variety of wildlife\, particularly during the migratory season when the site comes alive with the calls and movements of visiting birds. Efforts by local naturalists and birding groups have helped highlight the ecological significance of the area\, encouraging appreciation and awareness for conserving this rare green-lung space amid rapid urban growth. \n \n \n \n \n Bird Guide: Shmes Sufyan Birding guide with 10+ years of experience\, holding a Master’s in Biodiversity\, Wildlife Conservation\, and Management.

The edges of the water bustle with activity from Wood Sandpipers\, Little Stints\, Eurasian Curlews\, and Common Sandpipers\, while Whiskered Terns skim gracefully over the water surface. The marshes and trees around the site host Little and Great Egrets\, Little Cormorants\, and charismatic kingfishers like the White-throated and Common Kingfisher.
