Common sightings include ground-foraging birds such as the Laughing Dove and Red-wattled Lapwing\, while water bodies around the hill support species like Little Grebe\, Glossy Ibis\, and Eastern Cattle Egret. Raptors such as the Black-winged Kite and occasional Booted Eagle add excitement for birders\, soaring above the slopes in search of prey.

Swallows such as the Wire-tailed Swallow skim gracefully over open spaces\, while insect-hunters like Indian Robin and Black Redstart flit across rocks and bushy patches. Wetland visitors\, including Little Cormorant and White-throated Kingfisher\, reflect the presence of nearby water sources.
