Nawabganj Bird Sanctuary (Shahid Chandra Shekhar Azad): Siberian Migratory Birds & Lake Safari

The Winter Haven for Wings of the World: Nawabganj Sanctuary

Spanning around a natural shallow freshwater lake along the Lucknow-Kanpur highway, the Shahid Chandra Shekhar Azad Bird Sanctuary (popularly known as Nawabganj) is a birdwatcher's paradise. As winter sets in, its waters ripple with hundreds of thousands of migratory waterfowl, including pintails, mallards, bar-headed geese, and majestic painted storks.
