Description

The Avifaunal diversity study of Pakhibitan, Ecopark is published by Nature Mates Nature Club under WBHIDCO Pakhibitan Project in Pakhibitan, Ecopark, Newtown, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. This sampling event was performed in a selected point located in the marshlands covered with elephant grass (Typha sp.) of Pakhibitan surrounded by a forest patch. Marshland of Pakhibitan is mostly covered with elephant grass (Typha sp.) surrounded by a forested patch. In the summer (April-May), the maximum temperature of the area reaches around 41°C. During the winter (December-February), the temperature drops to 9°C while the average rainfall is 1836.5 mm per year. The soil type is alluvial because it is located in the Indo-Gangetic plain. This dataset includes all the birds recorded in a span of three months from July to September 2023. All the species are identified up to the species or genus level. A total of 92 species of birds are recorded belonging to 41 families and 16 orders. Along with bird diversity. We also mentioned temperature, humidity, and wind speed in the dataset. This dataset also includes the life stage, activity, and behavior of the birds observed.

Purpose

This dataset is a part of a long term project under the WBHIDCO with a purpose to support urban biodiversity, conserving the natural landmass of New Town along with the conservation of avian and other species diversity. It can also provide a scope for a comparative study on the effect of increasing urbanization on the avian diversity.
