Its European breeding population is relatively small (<32,000 pairs), but increased substantially between 1970–1990. Although some marginal populations were stable or increased during 1990–2000, the species declined in its Russian stronghold, and underwent a moderate decline (>10%) overall.

    Nordmann's Greenshank Population Analysis, at Pantai Cemara Jambi

    Final Report Nordmann’s Greenshank Population Analysis, at Pantai Cemara Jambi Cipto Dwi Handono1, Ragil Siti Rihadini1, Iwan Febrianto1 and Ahmad Zulfikar Abdullah1 1Yayasan Ekologi Satwa Alam Liar Indonesia (Yayasan EKSAI/EKSAI Foundation) Surabaya, Indonesia Background Many shorebirds species have declined along East Asian-Australasian Flyway which support the highest diversity of shorebirds in the world, including the globally endangered species, Nordmann’s Greenshank. Nordmann’s Greenshank listed as endangered in the IUCN Red list of Threatened Species because of its small and declining population (BirdLife International, 2016). It’s one of the world’s most threatened shorebirds, is confined to the East Asian–Australasian Flyway (Bamford et al. 2008, BirdLife International 2001, 2012). Its global population is estimated at 500–1,000, with an estimated 100 in Malaysia, 100–200 in Thailand, 100 in Myanmar, plus unknown but low numbers in NE India, Bangladesh and Sumatra (Wetlands International 2006). The population is suspected to be rapidly decreasing due to coastal wetland development throughout Asia for industry, infrastructure and aquaculture, and the degradation of its breeding habitat in Russia by grazing Reindeer Rangifer tarandus (BirdLife International 2012). Mostly Nordmann’s Greenshanks have been recorded in very small numbers throughout Southeast Asia, and there are few places where it has been reported regularly. In Myanmar, for example, it was rediscovered after a gap of almost 129 years. The total count recorded by the Asian Waterbird Census (AWC) in 2006 for Myanmar was 28 birds with 14 being the largest number at a single locality (Naing 2007). In 2011–2012, Nordmann’s Greenshank was found three times in Sumatera Utara province, N Sumatra.

The present study deals with the study of the Avifaunal diversity of wetlands and adjoining area of lake. In this survey two wetlands of Chikkamagaluru have been studied which include Basavanahalli Lake, and Hiremagaluru Lake . The survey was carried for the period of 14 months i.e. from October 2016 to November 2017. During the study period forty two species of birds, belonging to thirteen families were recorded .Which includes both local and migratory birds. Birds belonging to the family Ardeidae found to be dominated by the representation of 8 species, followed by Anatidae7 species, Scolopacidae 5 species, Phalacrocracidae, Threskiornithidae and Ralidae 3species each, Ciconiidae, Laridae, Jacanidae, Charadriidae and Alcedinidae 2 species each and Podicipedidae 1 species.The study also revealed that the study sites harbor many resident as well as migratory birds. Four species like Black headed ibis(Threskiornismelanocephalus),Black tailed God wit (Limosalimosa) , Painted Stork (Mycterialeucocephala) and River tern(Sterna aurantia ) were near threatened and have a protected status under the schedule IV of Indian Wild life Protection Act,1972.

This page: Great knot. Photos – Grant Griffin/DBCA Photos – Grant page: Great knot. This Greater sand plover. Cover: Shorebirds and seabirds of the Pilbara coast and islands The Pilbara coast and islands, including the Exmouth Gulf, provide important refuge for a number of shorebird and seabird species. For migratory shorebirds, sandy spits, sandbars, rocky shores, sandy beaches, salt marshes, intertidal flats and mangroves are important feeding and resting habitat during spring and summer, when the birds escape the harsh winter of their northern hemisphere breeding grounds. Seabirds, including terns and shearwaters, use the islands for nesting. For resident shorebirds, including oystercatchers and beach stone-curlews, the islands provide all the food, shelter and undisturbed nesting areas they need. What is a shorebird? Shorebirds, also known as ‘waders’, are a diverse group of birds mostly associated with wetland and coastal habitats where they wade in shallow water and feed along the shore. This group includes plovers, sandpipers, stints, curlews, knots, godwits and oystercatchers. Some shorebirds spend their entire lives in Australia (resident), while others travel long distances between their feeding and breeding grounds each year (migratory).
