 Hi all! A term called Heronry is in news frequently nowadays. Here I am talking about the Panamaram Heronry which is located in the Malabar regions of Kerala. See recently the Kerala Government has also devised a plan to rejuvenate this Heronry. So what does this term Heronry mean? That is what we are going to decode in this video. Just stay tuned. See Heronry typically means a place in which Herons breed. Here Herons are nothing but a group of water fowls. Now that water fowls is a term which comprises of all the birds which predominantly live near water. They have webbed feeds and are generally better swimmers with waterproof wings. Now let us move on to the location of this place. See the Panamaram Heronry is one of the less known Heronry present in Kerala. It is located near the Panamaram town. This town lies 650 meters above the sea level. It is located in the district of Vayanad in the northeast part of Kerala. Remember it is a small natural islet that covers approximately one acre formed by the bifurcating flow of Panamaram river. Here note that Panamaram river is a tributary of Khabini which subsequently flows into Karnataka to join Kaveri at Mysore. Also remember vegetation of the Heronry is mandated by bamboos and rest of the sandy ground is covered with grass, weeds and bushes. This area usually receives rainfall both from southwest and northeast monsoons and the Heronry supports a huge water fowl population. Here note that if the Heronry is declared as conservation reserve, then it will be able to receive some of money for its conservation from both central and state governments.
