The place needs to be developed a bit. It is lying uncared for. The existing watch tower is rickety, needs maintenance. Some benches should be constructed on the banks for people to sit and enjoy the view. More watch towers made of Bamboo or wood log should be erected.

Migrant Birds Watching
Paraswada Lake and nearby Zilmili Lake are the home for many varieties of migrant and local birds during winter. One has to plan their visit on either early in the morning (4:30-6am) or evening (4:30-6pm). During this time you can also see birds flying in groups which is very scenic.
The lake is mainly famous for Graylag Geese and Sarus Crane but you will get to see many more species. Lotus flowers (seasonal) in lake also makes it beautiful.
One local advised me to go to Paraswada lake in morning and Zilmil lake in evening to watch birds. I'm not sure if this rule always work but on my visit to one evening that perfectly matched. I saw more birds in Zilmil lake than Paraswada lake during evening.
There is a watch tower too at Parawada lake which gives you a long view. With Zilmil lake you can drive the circumference of lake.
Take binoculars with you to get the best views of birds. Many of them are quite far to get a clear view. Both the lake are partly covered with bushes so binoculars will help.
Sunrise and sunset at the lake is just fabulous but you also get a nice trip of a small village, green fields and open grasslands.

Nice place, good experience. However I was not able to watch many birds, my recommendation is to plan your trip for multiple location and include this as one of the option.

It's awesome, Many migrant birds are visible. must come with binoculars. Government should do some more proactive investment to develop tourism. Only one pair of Saras seen, but before taking photo it flown away.

It's a lake which was too filthy earlier. Few years back with commen peoples efforts it became clean, and now there comes migrated birds and people go to see them and local people earn money from tourism.
