Abstract Species richness, and seasonal variation of birds were studied in Pondicherry University campus between February 2014 and February 2015. The data from the fall migration season of 2014 were compared with data from 2004 to understand the decadal changes in the bird diversity of the campus. A total of 96 species were recorded during the course of the study, of which 23 are new records for the university campus. Species richness varied considerably across the sampling duration, was highest during the fall migration season (78 species), and lowest during breeding season (54 species). Comparison of data, to understand the decadal changes in avifauna, revealed that 20 species, which were reported earlier from the campus, were not recorded during the present study.
