Abstract

Birds play a very important role in maintaining the ecosystem's food chain and food web. A survey was carried out between October 2021, and February 2022 by visual Survey method, which revels about 69 species of birds from (38) families, with a maximum of Ardeidae recorded during the study period. Among all the sites, maximum species were recorded from HGT S3 with 66, followed by DGT S2 with 54, VMR S4 with 30, and most minor with 25 at PGT S1. No man-made intervention should be allowed, and local authorities should be involved in protecting biodiversity richness.
