Spread over approximately 800 acres\, the lake provides a thriving habitat for a wide variety of resident and migratory bird species\, including several globally threatened ones. It plays a vital role in maintaining the local hydrological balance\, recharging groundwater\, and supporting aquatic biodiversity.

The lake also contributes to environmental education and awareness\, hosting regular nature walks\, bird festivals\, and outreach programs that engage the public in conservation efforts.

Some of the commonly seen birds around the lake include the Indian Silverbill\, Brambling Starling\, Small Kingfisher\, White-breasted Kingfisher\, and Pied Kingfisher\, which are often spotted perched near the lake’s edge or diving into the water for prey. Raptors such as the Black Kite can be seen soaring overhead\, while smaller passerines like the Ashy Prinia\, Sparrow Lark\, and Indian Robin flit actively among the reeds and grasslands. \n \n \n \n The surrounding scrub and open areas are frequented by Laughing Doves\, House Sparrows\, Crested Buntings\, and Red-vented Bulbuls\, while the Black Drongo and Long-tailed Shrike are common sight along the fences and perches. The Rose-ringed Parakeet adds a splash of color and constant chatter to the landscape\, and Wood Sandpipers are often observed along the shallow waters during the migratory season. The Indian Peafowl\, with its striking plumage\, is one of the most iconic residents of the area.
