Abstract

Wetlands are defined as ‘lands transitional between terrestrial and aquatic eco-systems. Wetlands are also important as resting sites for migratory birds. The physical and chemical parameters of one of the major habitats for birds- the wetlands are known to influence congregation of migratory and resident species of bird’s aquatic vegetation is a valuable source of food, especially for waterfowl. In the study area of wetland three time sampling was carried out the geographical nature of the pond, usage of water in water bodies, during the period January 2017 to January 2018, 3 seasons (South-west monsoon, North-east monsoon, Post-monsoon) were analyzed 16 parameters (Air temperature, water temperature, pH, Alkalinity, Do, Hardness, Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids, nitrogen, phosphors, Major ions (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, Cl-, k, HCO3-)). In this work we have selected five sites. Totally 66 birds were identified in this wetland. The check list of birds in this wetland as well as physico-chemical factors are discussed.
