According to ornithologist Hirulal Dangaura, there are 64 species of water birds.
Twelve species of birds found here are considered rare in the world. Kaile Tauke Hans (Common Pochard), Raj Dhanesh (Great Hornbill), Rajlahanche (Great Slaty Woodpecker), Bhudifor Garud (Lesser Adjutant), Sunaulo Top Chara (Finn's Weaver), Gheghri Ghanse Fisto (Grey-breasted Prinia), Laghu Mahachil (Indian Spotted Eagle) and other rare birds are found in the wetland.

Ghodaghodi Wetland, where rare birds are found, has recently witnessed increased pollution due to the dumping of garbage, plastic items and bottles. Increasing pollution is likely to have a serious repercussion on aquatic life and birds.
There are 24 big and small lakes in the famous Ghodaghodi Wetland. It is spread over a total area of ​​10,570 hectares.
