At Bhigwan, ducks, herons, egrets, raptors and waders along with flocks of hundreds of flamingos are present. At times, 1,000–1,200 flamingos are seen. Low rainfall and low water levels have reduced the birds' numbers. More than 230 species of migratory birds are found here, including painted storks, bar-headed geese and demoiselle cranes. These birds are present in the winter season between December and March. The birds generally migrate via marine routes and adult females depart from the breeding grounds.
