Journal Title: International Journal of Environment, Ecology, Family and Urban Studies (IJEEFUS) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Birds are the highly diverse group and known as bio indicator of a healthy ecosystem. We had provided an avifaunal inventory for Prashnavada wetland (Latitude 20°48' N, Longitude 70°34' E) located at the district of Gir-Somnath, Gujarat, India. Complete avian survey was conducted for the year from January 2018 to December 2018 in and around the study area. The major study area include mosaic habitat of wetland and micro habitats consist of costal, woodland, scrubland, and cropland. We adopted random sampling method for survey in the study area and total 149 avian species of 20 orders and 57 families were recorded. Among the species found, three species were globally threatened, one critically endangered (Sociable Lapwing Vanellusgregarius) and two vulnerable (Common Pochard Aythyaferina& Greater Spotted Eagle Aquila clanga). In addition, 85 species were resident and 64 were migratory (Fifty-nine winter migratory, three monsoons migrant and two passages migratory). Species richness was maximum in the early winter and relatively less in the other seasons. Out of 149 species of birds, 109 were Common, 27 were Uncommon and 13 were rare.
