Abstract: 

Birds occupy almost all habitat types and diversity of birds often serves as a good indication of overall diversity of a given area .India is a signatory to Ramsar convention and plays an important role in conservation and wise use of wetlands. During my investigation period 42 bird species were recorded. Its indicate good diversity of birds in the study area. The study was carried out in 12 months from 2013 to 2014 in pre-monsoon, monsoon, post monsoon the data was analyzed by Shannon – Weinner index. It showed significant diversity of avian fauna. In post monsoon season the diversity indices (Po-Mon H value is 3.94) was more than the other seasons. The maximum avian species were recorded during the post monsoon and the minimum in monsoon. The study also recorded four vulnerable species. The avian diversity of the study area is under great threat due to various anthropogenic and environmental problems. So proper conservation measures should be followed for sustainable development.
