In summary, 2,858 individuals belonging to 33 species (10 herons and egrets, 7 shorebirds, 7 ibises and related and 4 ducks) were counted. The most abundant species was the Black-bellied Whistling-duck (Dendrocygna autumnalis) with 2,202 individuals, the Blue-winged Teal (Anas discors) with 209 birds and White-faced Whistling-duck (Dendrocygna viduata) with 104 individuals.
