At Bhigwan, some kind of ducks, herons, egrets, raptors and waders along with flocks of hundreds of flamingos can be seen. The large variety and numbers of birds at Bhigwan creates great photographic opportunities for wildlife photographers. At times, 1,000-1,200 flamingos are seen. It is a favourite spot for migratory birds, with more than 230 species found here. One can also see painted storks, bareheaded geese, demoiselle cranes, etc. These birds can be seen in the winter season between December and March. The birds generally migrate via marine routes and adult females depart from the breeding grounds.

Flamingos-in-Bhigwan
The backwaters of the Ujjani Dam are the winter home for a list of migratory birds such as the greater flamingo, Eurasian spoonbill, bar-headed goose, collared pratincole, and osprey.
