• The eastern marsh harrier ("Circus spilonotus") is a bird of prey belonging to the marsh harrier group of harriers.
• Among birds, sandgrouse and larks are seen in fair numbers. According to Roger Geoffrey Clarke, the British harrier-expert, the harrier roost found at the park is one of the largest in the world.
• "Ring-tail" is an informal term used by birders for the juveniles and females of several harrier species when seen in the field and not identifiable to an exact species.
• Raptors like shikra, black-winged kite, black kite, red-necked falcon, marsh harrier, Montague's harrier and booted eagle can also be seen here.
• Inverted Harrier The same as the above, just inverted. Most capable pilots find this easier than a standard harrier due to the wing being above the center of gravity rather than below it.
