Introduction
On 1st October 2014, From Department of Zoology, Sri
Mahadeshwara govt first grade college Conducted a one day trip to
Ranganathittu bird sanctuary as mentioned in the Zoology III sem
syllabus. It is essential to the students to get practical or Visual
knowledge of anything. The purpose of this one day trip is to Identify
the different local and migratory birds and Knowing their
significance, habitat, purpose of migration, behaviour etc..
The journey to the trip started at 7am of 1st October 2014. We
had booked a mini bus for this purpose. We total 23 students of II
B.Sc (CBZ) had taken participate in this trip. Its 80km away from our
college. By 8.30am we have reached Mandya, so we first visited
Nimishamba temple then reached Ranganatittu Bird sanctuary by
9.30am.
Students entering inside the sanctuary with the guidance of Dr.Sathish S.V,
Dr.Ravishankar, Anand.
Photo from watching tower showing Islands and the bird inhabited on the bushes or
trees.
Ranganathittu bird sanctuary is also known as ‘Pakshi Kashi of
Karnataka’ located in the Mandya district of the state of Karnataka.
Which has about 40 acres in area, and comprises of six islets on the
banks of the River Cauvery. Which was first observed by Salim Ali,
and persuaded the king of Mysore to declare the area a protected area.
Now the sanctuary declared as a ecosensitive zone.
As we entered the Sanctuary we could see many old trees, like
bamboos, Acacia, Eucalyptus etc.. these makes anyone to forget
himself with the nature that much involvement we felt. As soon as we
entered the sanctuary we could also see the large hall, where A big
screen playing the Videos of Ranganathittu. We went inside the park
we could see so many different varieties of plants, trees and flowers.
The main attraction river Cauvery flowing slowly, and we could see
the islands covered with thick vegetation, above it many beautiful
different birds were busy in nesting, mating, seeking food etc. We
identify the many birds through the binocular which we have taken.
We might have observe the birds by boating near the island but
due to increase in the river level we missed that opportunity. We just
climbed on the watching towers and observed the birds. We have
observed crocodile, turtle on the other side of the island. Our guide
and Assistant professor Dr.Sathish.S.V gave so many information
regarding the sanctuary, birds etc. and also helped us in identifying
the birds and counting techniques, behaviour of the birds etc..
Watching Ranganathittu bird sancutuary video in theatre hall at the sanctuary.
We spend 4 hours in the sanctuary than we came back to the
entrance and watched the bird videos in the theatre hall.And we
brought a DVD copy of that video.We finished our lunch there itself.
Then we came back our vehicle then started moving towards Mysore.
As the Dasara festival started, first we visited Flower show
where thousands of different varieties of flowers, vegetables, and its
cutting made us impressed.
Captive birds seen in the Karanji lake.
Then we moved towards Karanji lake, there collections of not
only many plant varieties but also it has animal collections like
varieties of rabbit, mole, peacock/hen, parrot etc. had seen. We
finished our observation in the late evening then came back to vehicle
with the lots of notes, key points, taxonomy of plants/animals, and
memories. Due to shortage of time we could not visit the another bird
observing place i.e Kukkarahalli lake so we returned to Kollegal at
7.30pm.

In Zoology both theoretical knowledge and field/practical
knowledge are also very important. The main aim of the Forest visit is
to see the animals in their natural habitat, to understand how they
adopt to the environment, what causes them to stay protected insuch
climate conditions, To understand the relationship between the
animals and their surrounding. Biligiri rangana hills is comes under
belt of Western ghats, this tour helps us to understand the richness of
the flora and fauna at the site. Also the visit of Honey bee extracting
unit gave us the knowledge of how the extraction takes place, this

guidance of Sir Ramachari, as he was well experienced person in the
field of identifying different plants and their significance. When we
visited him, as he is basically a teacher, he is busy at that time, so
when we requested him he accepted to teach us and gave lecture on
forest flora, medicinal plants, tribal people etc.
Person explaining about the Honey extracting unit, and how it
works.

CONCLUSION
Our study tour was interesting and the importance of such
type of study tour in natural science, particularly in Zoology is
realized only when we were led to the spot where we can
observed the existence of animal in their natural habitat. The
value of natural environment is realized only when we collect
the first hand information directly from the field. After this
tour the correlation of the theoretical knowledge and the field
knowledge became clear.
An unforgettable memory of the study tour is still in
mind as it gives me a sense of collective responsibility in
organizing an event particularly in collection of specimen and
data on a natural science laboratory.
After participate the tour it arouses me to for the love of
nature. In fact it gives me a chance to become a scientist an
environmentalist, a bird watcher or an ecologist.
Once again, I express my gratefulness to all the staff of
Zoology department and all the concerned who have made the
study tour a complete success.

towards the sanctuary it was nearly 8.00am in the morning, In journey
we enjoyed lot by seeing the sceneries of different environment like
Green farmlands, Bunch of coconut trees, Areca nuts etc, Hills, lakes,
flowers, different domestic animals, Peacocks/hen, River Cauvery and
Kapila, which flows under the bridge in between journey. When we
reached the sanctuary it was around 10am.
It was very dark greenish place with lots of huge trees which
welcoming our entry. We have parked our vehicle after paying the fee
amount for the entry. And started walking towards the sanctuary. In
entrance, there was a big board showing number of birds and their
scientific names which usually visits the sanctuary, we noted
everything and move forward. They have mentioned every tree and its
scientific names on a plate fixed on the particular trees. Everywhere
different plants and trees are awesome and we were touching many
flowers and took photos of it.
In between these vegetation they have made many statues of
birds, monkeys (gandhian philosophy), toys related statues to attract
the childrens and desks have been fixed in many places to sit and
relax for visitors.
When we gone to our main destination i.e the Bird watching,
We reached near the Cauvery river, flows from north to south
direction in the sanctuary. In between there are some islands which
contains many big trees, bushes. This area is very important, due to
presence of many birds on this vegetation. We had a good luck that
we got the opportunity to boat near those islands, we enjoyed by
seeing birds and their natural habitat in live. The sound of different
birds made us excited and we also saw many crocodiles resting on the
shore of those islands. We came back to the sanctuary. Then we stood
on the watching towers and watched the birds through Binoculars.
Our Guide and Assistant Professor Dr.Sathish S V sir explained so
many things related to sanctuary, birds, crocodiles, and some
information related to Animal physiology and Animal adaptations. As
he finishes, we roamed around the sanctuary for a while and started
back to home. While coming back we also visited Somanathapura
temple near the T.Narsipura, and took many photos of Rock
architecture and return to home at 6.00pm.

Objectives of study
1. The main purpose of the visit was to get the students closer to
the natural environment.
2. To study the interaction of abiotic and biotic components.
3. To observe the animal species in their natural habitat.
Introduction
The Biligirirangana hills commonly called B R Hills, is a hill
range situated in south eastern Karnataka at its border with Tamil
Nadu (Erode district) in south India. The area is called ‘Biligiri ranganatha temple wildlife sanctuary’ or Simply ‘BRT wildlife sanctuary’ It is a protected tiger reserve under the wildlife protection act of 1972. Being at the starting point of the eastern ghats and very
close western ghats, the sanctuary is home to eco-systems that are
unique to both the mountain ranges. The site was declared a ‘tiger reserve’ in January 2011 by the Karnataka Government, a few months after approval from ‘India’s National Tiger Conservation Authority’
The BR Hills is the starting point of Eastern ghats and contacts
with the border of the western ghats allowing animals to move
between them and facilitating gene flow between populations of
species in these areas. Thus, this sanctuary serves as ‘an important biological bridge for the biota of the enire deccan plateau’
BR Hills has the best of flora and fauna in south India. It has
forests with perfect road connectivity and provides a wide range of
unique eco-systems of both western and eastern ghats.
It was early morning at 8.00am on 13th August 2019, we started our
journey for one day trip from Kollegala to B R Hills, while going, our
minds are fully excited to watch such a beautiful large forests which
totally filled with natural flora and fauna, Finally, we reached B R
Hills at 10.00am. Then the trees beside roads, the fresh air we get
from them and the climate we felt made us to experience the best way
to interact with awesome nature.
While entering to B R Hills, at the entrance, there were statues
of some animals like Elephant, Tiger, Cheetah, Gaur(Indian bison),
we were feeling like they are inviting us towards wildlife sanctuary.
First of all, we visited ‘Sri Biligiri Ranganatha swamy temple’ which
is located at the top of a hills. There, we saw more forest monkeys
roaming around the temple which make the devotees to get frightened
for the eating things to take away from them. After that, we visited
‘Vishwa shanthinikethana ashrama’. At the entrance of the ashrama,
we saw some inspiring quotes & some words like “satya” “prema” “karune” which shows that the people in the ashrama
to which they are connected to aadyathma . After that, we visited one
school, there we saw some medicinal plants & one botanical garden
etc. we also saw some science experiment methods and how it works.
At last, we visited K Gudi (Kyatha Devara Gudi) where we can see
more elephants walking around & comes to drink water in the pond.
OBSERVATIONS
1. ELEPHANTS
In the first instance, in B R Hills where the elephants coming down
from the hills was forced to charge at the vehicle as it was closed.
Most of the times, in the ghat roads, to stop vehicles from falling over
a feet or so high walls are created, this completely stops the elephants
from climbing up or getting down.
An animal which is widely revered due to lord Ganesha and also
for being the vehicle of Goddess Lakshmi is unfortunately also the
most threatened.
This gentle giants are often in news because of conflict with
people. Too often elephants are killed by the villagers using illegal
live electric wires in their fences, poisoning, firing bullets from illegal
weapons, pesticides poisoning etc. a few people are killed as well.
Some of them are killed as they approach too close to an elephant
without realising how fast these elephants can run.
Elephants
The tusks of the elephant can be used for the economic purpose &
some forest people export them to other countries and make money
from it.
The elephants are friendly when they are in good mood.
Spotted Deer
2. PEACOCK
Peacocks are large, colourful, pheasants (typically blue and green)
known for their iridescent tails.
Distinctive tail feathers:-
these tail feathers, or coverts, spread but in a distinctive train
that is more than 60% of the bird’s total body length and colourful ‘eye’ markings of blue, gold, red and other hues. The large train is used in mating rituals and courtship displays. It can be arched into a
magnificent fan the reaches across the birds back and touches the
ground on either side. Females are believed to choose their mates
according to the size, colour and quality of these outrageous feather
trains.
Males v/s females:-
The term ‘peacock’ is commonly used to refer to birds of both sexes. Technically, only males are peacocks. Females are pea hens, and
together, they are called peafowl.
Suitable males may gather harems of several females, each of
which will lay three to five eggs. In fact, wild peafowl often roost in
forest trees and gather in groups called Parties.

natural Waterfalls were seen and the students enjoyed the feel of serene cold water.
On the way the students were asked to identify different groups of plants and
animals. The students were given the feel of forest ecosystem. Samples of colorful
fruiting bodies of fungi were observed and some were collected as specimens to be
displayed in the laboratory. The students photographed the animals plants, flowers
and fruits and identified their types.
The first place of visit was the temple shrine to get blessings of God
Srinivasa who is deity of soligas, a tribal community of B.R. Hills. After visiting
the temple our next place of visit was VGKK (Vivekananada Girijana Kalyana
