There is some overlap between habitats for example mangrove forest can also be considered as wetland as can seasonally flooded grassland. May bird species require mixed habitat types.The proposed Niwali Reservoir is located in one of the richest waterbird zones in Parbhani. This site has never been properly studied as a single site for its avifaunal diversity. the present study aims to find avifaunal diversity in the Niwali Reservoir. Data collection was performed from Nov. 2022 to Feb. 2023. A total of 112 bird species belonging to 40 families including 17 waterbird and Land species were recorded in the present study.
