Andhakaranazhi beach lies about 25km south of Fort Kochi and is a beautiful
place to walk along the eastern shore of the Arabian sea. As seems to be the
case everywhere here, there are impressive numbers of egrets, but also today
small flocks of greenshank and most likely other waders.
House crows and kites are always on hand to scavenge any scraps which
are left on the beach by the fishermen.
Chellanam harbour is a fishing harbour with small boats coming and going with
large baskets full of fish and people on the shore ready to take the catch off
their hands. As ever, wherever there are scraps to be had there are large
numbers of kites and egrets ready to scavenge for whatever they can get. They
almost seem to replace gulls in this area, I've so far only seen large gulls
at Puthuvype beach north of Kochi.
