Shekha Bird Sanctuary
Shekha Bird Sanctuary is a bird sanctuary at a  lake near the village of Shekha,  east of Aligarh and  from the Grand Trunk Road (GT Road) in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. It is notable for birding as many birds overwinter there. It is a fresh water perennial water body that came into existence after the formation of the Upper Ganges Canal in 1852 which flows adjacent to the lake. It is maintained by the Forest Department.
