“…Across all habitats, the temporal pattern shows that the timeof-the-day (clock hours) had a significant impact on daytime foraging activity concerning frequency of foraging technique and success during the breeding and non-breeding seasons. Similar trends were recorded in the Indian pond heron (Ardeola grayii) 22 and in foliage-gleaning passerines. 61 One peak of modality was registered in the morning and another peak was evident in the evening, showing a bimodal pattern during daytime foraging activity in different habitats and seasons.…”

“…21 The habitat structure may also affect birds' foraging pattern through various sources of food items, their availability and vital controls on acquiring them. 22 Consequently, the timing of feeding and foraging in a specific habitat is critical to the lifetime strategy. 23 In this study, we looked into the temporal pattern of diurnal foraging behaviours (technique and success) of yellowwattled lapwings in four different habitats during breeding and non-breeding seasons.…”

This study monitored the temporal pattern of the diurnal foraging behaviour of yellow-wattled lapwing Vanellus malabaricus Boddaert, 1783 (Charadriiformes: Charadriidae) in different seasons (breeding and non-breeding) and habitats (uncultivated, cultivated, ponds and rivers). The focal observation method was employed to investigate the foraging behaviours of yellow-wattled lapwings. Foraging techniques showed non-significant (p = 0.85) variation in different habitat types; however, walk-halt pecking (WHP) was observed to be the most commonly utilized foraging technique across all habitats. Furthermore, foraging success varied significantly in seasons (p <0.05) as well as in habitat types (p <0.05). Due to the availability of ample food items, foraging success reached its peak in uncultivated habitats. We documented considerably high feeding rates in the uncultivated habitat in the breeding season due to the high prey abundance. Additionally, seasons and habitat both greatly affected the rate of walking. Uncultivated habitat represented the highest value of % successful attempts while the lowest value of % successful attempts was recorded in river habitat. Moreover, the % successful attempts were significant (p <0.05) in the breading season as compared to the non-breeding season. Finally, we found substantial (p <0.05) changes in temporal pattern with regard to daily foraging behaviour. The behaviours appear to be bimodal, with morning and evening types for both seasons and habitat types.

“…Various feeding behaviour of Ardeola grayii were observed by many authors such as; walk slowly, surprise attack (3), fish baiting using bread crumps (4), scavenging behaviour (5), stand and wait (2), probing (6), floating behaviour (7). Feeding behaviour and feeding frequency of herons are affected by several factors, including; prey density and prey availability (8), seasons (9), habitat characteristics (10) and height of vegetation (11).…”

Objectives: The present study was focused on feeding behaviour and foraging success of Indian pond heron (Ardeola grayii) in different seasons and habitats. Methods: The study was carried out in three habitats, lake, pond and marshy area from September 2016 to December 2017. All activities such as feeding behaviour, foraging success, prey abundance, success ratio, feeding frequency (foraging attempt and success) of A. grayii were compared in three habitats with three seasons by using binocular and video recorder. Statistical analysis: Data were analysed by SPSS (21 version) and graph pad prism. In this study, prey abundance and foraging success in three habitats and season differed statistically significant (p < 0.05). By using non-linear regression on foraging attempt and success in three habitats three curve (exponential, cubic, growth and power) best fitted to analyzed data sets. These curve shows variation in feeding pattern. Findings: Stand and wait is dominant feeding behaviour followed by walk slowly and walk quickly in all three habitats and season. Prey was abundantly present during monsoon, as a result feeding frequency and success ratio maximized. Structure of habitats, vegetation, and water depth also influenced foraging success of Ardeola grayii. Thus, overall finding showed that Indian pond heron feeding behaviour and foraging success affected by structure of habitats and seasons.
