Abstract

The Lungh Lake sanctuary is known for its avian diversity and full blossoming. In the present study, it was noted that wetlands consist of a number of avian fauna varieties. We detected various bird species, yet 53 types of birds were distinguished during field work; these birds had a location with 10 families; for example, Ardeidae, Rallidae, Charadridae, Alcedinidae, Sturnidae, Muscicapidae, Columbidae, Cuculidae, Anatidae, Recurvirostridae and Passeridae were recorded. High numbers of families were noted in Anatidae, and fewer species were Charadridae and Sturnidae. It was noted that a large number of families were migratory, and some were residents. These species, for the most part, depend upon water, in addition to the families Passeridae and Columbidae. Among the birds kept in this study, some were insectivores or grainivores; however, most of the overwhelming birds were piscivores.
