Aarif and Muhammad Basheer 1Kallingal House, Athanikunnu, Mampad College Po, Malapuram dt, Kerala, South India 2Palishakottu purayil, Elettil Po, Koduvally, Calicut, Kerala, South India Abstract: Bird Community of Mavoor Wetlands in Calicut District, Kerala State was studied during Sept 2009 to Aug 2010. The methodology followed was mainly observations using binocular. A total of 57 species of birds, belonging to 16 families were recorded from the area during the period. Among them 17 species are migrants. Highest number of birds was recorded in the month of January and the lowest was observed June. Little Egret, Little Cormorant, Purple Moorhen, Purple Heron, Black-crowned Night-Heron, Indian Pond-Heron, Little Grebe, Lesser Whistling-Duck, River Tern, Whiskered Tern, Garganey etc. were the most abundant resident and migrant species found in the Mavoor wetlands. Key words: Brids Mavoor Wetland Conservation Problem INTRODUCTION season the water level raises up to 2 to 4 meters. Studies on the avian fauna of Mavoor wetland are very few, Wetlands are extremely important areas throughout except the regular Asian Water fowl Census since past the world for wildlife protection, recreation, sediment five years and a PhD work on the diving behaviour of control, flood prevention [1]. Wetlands are important Cormorants and Darter [6]. bird habitats and birds use them for feeding, roosting, Systematic list of the birds of this region is lacking. nesting and rearing young [2, 3].Wetlands of Kerala are Hence the present study documented the avian fauna of perhaps the least ornithologically studied ecosystems this wetland from mainly direct observation and block [4], in Kerala wetlands are mainly used for agriculture, count from March 2009 to February 20109.

  • (82) FIELD NOTES on the LITTLE GREBE. the Following Observations on the Little Grebe (Podiceps R. Ruficollis) Were Made at Fetch
    (82) FIELD NOTES ON THE LITTLE GREBE. BY P. H. TRAHAIR HARTLEY. THE following observations on the Little Grebe (Podiceps r. ruficollis) were made at Fetcham Pond, near Leatherhead, in Surrey, during the last three years. TERRITORY. Little Grebes begin to defend territories in the middle of February. These are small areas—about |- acre—situated in the parts of the very shallow lake that are overgrown with marestail (Hippuris vulgaris). Where several territories border on an open space, free from weeds, this constitutes a neutral area where paired birds can meet and associate with others, without fighting. The actual territories are strictly protected. Both sexes defend their borders, sometimes working together. Terri­ torial demonstrations-—far more often than not they do not end in actual fighting—take place many times daily between pairs whose marches adjoin. One bird makes a series of short rushes towards his neighbours' territory, flapping his raised wings, and keeping his head and neck outstretched ; at the same time he utters the shrill, tittering call. The owner of the territory advances in the same set style ; between each rush, both birds float with heads drawn in, flank feathers fluffed out, and wings slightly raised. So they approach each other, until they float about a foot apart, and strictly on the territorial border. As they face one another, I have seen one, or both birds peck with an almost nervous movement at the surface of the water, as though picking something up. On one occasion the bird which had started the encounter splashed the water with its beak, and snatched at a weed stem.
