It's hard to believe that planes once roared through here, isn't it? Now, look around you at the lush grassland spreading out in all directions. This place is a haven for rare bird species. Over 80 different kinds have been spotted here! Listen closely – the birds' songs weave a tale of their journeys and arrival at this sanctuary. Look down, and you might spot some of the over 280 species of flowering plants thriving here.
