The lakes and the marshy lands of the valley are the favourite habitat of a variety of rare migratory birds such as duck, geese, snipe etc ,arriving particularly in winter months from places as far as Siberia. The gradual decrease in the size of the habitats and the over -hunting and the netting have greatly reduced the number of such rare migratory birds visiting the district in recent years.
