Jagdishpur Lake in Kapilvastu, Nepal's largest man-made reservoir and a Ramsar site, serves as a vital habitat for resident and migratory birds, attracting birdwatchers. The lake hosts over 110 migratory bird species annually and is home to the pheasant-tailed jacana, known locally as "water fairy." The continued protection of Jagdishpur Lake is crucial for the survival of this bird and other wetland species, despite threats from habitat loss and human disturbance.
