Feeding guild structure of birds at Keshopur Chhamb wetland, Gurdaspur

Abstract: To achieve a comprehensive understanding of avian feeding guild structure the present study was conducted at Keshopur wetland Ramsar site, district Gurdaspur, Punjab, India. A total of 121 species of birds belonging to 19 orders and 47 families were observed. Direct observation techniques and focal sampling methods were used to study their foraging behaviour. Seven major feeding guilds ie., carnivorous, insectivorous, omnivorous, granivorous, herbivorous, frugivorous and nectarivorous were found. Maximum numbe… Show more

“…It may be a reason for the diversity of avifauna in Ashtamudi Lake. Similar results were obtained by the study conducted at the Keshopur Chhamb wetland [7]. They discovered about seven main guilds of feeders: carnivorous, insectivorous, omnivorous, granivorous, herbivorous, frugivorous, and nectarivorous.…”

“…The presence of water birds in peatlands naturally occurs because peat is a wetland that is an ideal habitat for water birds to live and find food (Prasetya dan Anisia 2021). It is said that 10% of bird species out of the total global number depend on wetlands, and 20% use them to find food, rest, and breed (Rannestad et al 2015;Kačergytė et al 2021;Jangral and Vashishat 2022). In a study of bird diversity and populations in the wetlands of the Bangpu Nature Education Center, Thailand, it was recorded that eight families of water birds lived and used the wetlands, including Scolopacidae, Ardeidae, Charadriidae, Laridae, Ciconiidae, Phalacrocoracidae, Recurvirostridae, and Rallidae (Chanate et al 2020).…”
