Situated about 100 km from Pune the backwaters of the UJANI dam near Bhigvan provide a healthy habitat for all the migratory waterfowls. Specially known for the Greater Flamingoes, which arrive in mid-winters this place is flooded with a variety of Ducks, Pochards, Storks, Ibises and Terns. The deep waters in the center of the water body attract Sea Gulls and the shallow water lands surrounding the backwaters attract waders and other water birds.
