, geese, cranes, storks, ibises,
spoonbill, wading birds, swallows,
fishing eagles, osprey, harriers
and in great numbers.

islands of the lake are populated by
migrating Bharwad shepherds and on the
banks are the Padhars, who are excellent
folk dancers, artisans and boatmen.

for birdviewing, and picnic at shacks
the on the islands. If you are making

hired vehicle , you can lunch at the
KP farm at Sanand, which has a swimming
pool, children's amusement park and
other facilities, and enjoy the Goyal
