The wetlands are among the main attractions for these birds as the wetlands are their habitation, she said, adding that in the previous year, Hokersar hosted 5 lakh migratory birds and this year also, the number is very good.

Asked about the situation during freezing temperature, she said in case the water body is frozen, the birds are being provided artificial feed, however these birds rely on the natural food only.
