  • Greater Flamingo Phoenicopterus Roseus, Siberian Rubythroat Calliope
    Correspondence 193 Four additions to the avifauna of Himachal Pradesh: plumage almost disappeared and they became all white, except Greater Flamingo Phoenicopterus roseus, Siberian for the flight feathers and bare parts. There was a hint of pink on Rubythroat Calliope calliope, Rufous Woodpecker their mantles and backs. The last sighting of these two individuals Micropternus brachyurus, and Great Hornbill was on 09 April 2017, by CA [203]. There was no further sighting Buceros bicornis of this species in subsequent winters. Himachal Pradesh is rich in avifauna. More than half of the total species of birds found in India have been reported from the state (Praveen et al. 2020; Dhadwal 2019). CA has been extensively exploring Pong Lake (also known as Maharana Pratap Sagar), a designated Ramsar Site. It is a large man-made reservoir, on the Beas River in Kangra District, with an area of 156.62 sq. km and follows an annual cycle of filling-up in the monsoons, and gradually draining off thereafter (Abhinav et al. 2018). VS and HC frequently explore Colonel Sher Jung National Park, and locations around Renuka Ji and Paonta Sahib in Sirmaur District. Colonel Sher Jung National Park (27.88 sq. km) was previously known as Simbalbara National Park, and is located in the lower Shivalik region of Sirmaur District in southern Himachal Pradesh. It comprises moist Sal Shorea robusta forests and northern dry Both: C. Abhinav mixed deciduous forests (Abhinav et al. 2019). We report here four birds that were first recorded by us in Himachal Pradesh, in chronological order. 203. Greater Flamingo at Nagrota Surian, Pong Lake, on 09 April 2017.

INDIA 2Department of Biosciences, Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla E-mail: jssainibot@gmail.com ABSTRACT: A series of preliminary research attempt have been initiated in ethnobotany in the Western Himalaya from last three decades. But Col. Sher Jung Park, Simbalbara and its surroundings although rich in plant diversity still excluded in particular. This protected area having altitudinal variation between 350-700m with mean annual rainfall of 1260mm. Present study was planned to collect information of plants used by inhabitants in and around Col. Sher Jung National Park, Simbalbara. Field surveys were conducted during January 2010 to December 2016 in different season to collect data on ethnobotanically important plants from villagers and traditional healers. Total 214 plant species belonging to 69 families were documented having medicinal importance. Among the families rec- orded Fabaceae was the largest with altogether 26 species followed by Poaceae (12 species), Euphorbiaceae (11 spe- cies), Rutaceae (10 species), Lamiaceae and Moraceae with 9 species each. Traditions, customs and cultural rights play a key role in protection of biodiversity and environment. Hence, there is immense need to utilize the ethnobo- tanical information and promote the indigenous people being playing a key role in conserving the biodiversity in real sense. Keywords: Col.
