Small urban wetland popular with resident and migratory waterbirds—herons, egrets, kingfishers and various waders—offering close birding and calm waters that reflect sky color. Best visited at dawn and late afternoon for golden-hour light and active birds. Accessible from Chennai by road (limited parking near the access path); expect uneven trails and basic facilities. No formal entry fee but respect local signs and quiet zones. Weekday mornings are least crowded.
