A Birds Sanctuary Un-noticed


A proverb in Kannada goes like this "ದೂರದ ಬೆಟ್ಟ ನುಣ್ಣಗೆ". If literally translating, this means “a distant hill always appears softer”, so to say, the things in our own vicinity always seem to gain lesser attention than distant things. Please enlighten me if there is a better preconceived phrase to express this aesthetically.
Many of us must have never noticed the fact that, this part of Udyavar has offered a natural habitat for birds in these mini sanctuaries for years, whilst river Papanashini has been a treasury for numerous species of river fish (tasty indeed).
This classic photograph comes from Merwin D’Souza, Pithrodi, Udyavar (thanks to Clarence, his brother for sending this picture in).
If you think the view of serene waters of river Papanashini is breath taking, hold-on, there is roaring sea (Arabian Sea) on the other side, few steps away….
