The summer surveys in the area were undertaken from 14 June 2007 to 17 June<br />

2007 and the winter surveys from 13 January 2008 to 16 January 2008. The<br />

locations visited were the South Western Bank, Western Bank, Southern Bund<br />

Side, Southern and Eastern Bank of the lake and the Jhol Dhand.<br />

Figure 8 shows that the number of species collected was higher in the winter<br />

than in the summer. Along with 51 resident birds found in the winter there were<br />

43 winter birds as well. Figure 9 shows the number of orders, families and<br />
