Title

Diversity and abundance of shore and wader avifauna in Purba Medinipur coastal belt, West Bengal, India: A Comprehensive Study

Abstract

The avifauna shows maximum diversity among all vertebrate faunal groups. Wader is the birds of the order Charadriiformes, commonly found in shorelines and mudflats in order to forage for food in the mud or sand. Most wading bird possess long legs and toes and sometimes curve bills showing adaptations enabling them to live and feed in shallow water habitats. The wader avifauna eats various species of invertebrates and fishes that can be found in the mud or swamps, and mainly sea coast. This study presents wader’s diversity in coastal areas of purba Medinipur district.The field survey period was carried out from 1st April, 2021 to 24th October, 2021. In the present study total 60 species of shore and waders representing 13families under 5 orders were found whereas order Charadriiformes shows greater number of species between those three sites, followed by order Pelicaniformes, Gruiformes, Passeriformes, Suliformes. The study site, Kanaichatta (site-1) shows greater diversity followed by Bankiput (site-2) and lower diversity is seen in Boguran site (site-3) respectively due to human interference. A continuous monitoring of the wader avifauna is necessary for protect them in their natural habitats.
