WATERBIRDS

TOPIC: Environment

Context- The waterbird population in inland wetlands in Tamil Nadu recorded during a synchronised survey this year was lesser due to the prevailing high water condition in most of the wetlands.

Concept-

  • Due to heavy rain this year, all resident and migratory birds were seen scattered and spread to most wetlands rather than their traditional areas.
  • These birds are generally observed widely in most of the wetlands, including paddy fields.

Migratory Waterbirds:

  • Spot-billed Pelican
  • Eurasian Spoonbill
  • Oriental Darter
  • Painted Stork
  • Black-headed Ibis
  • Bar-headed Goose
  • Greater Flamingo
  • Comb Duck
  • Little Grebe or Dabchick.
