Descripción
The dataset “Avian diversity study of Kharibari Wetland and its adjacent Bheries, Kamduni, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, India” is published by Nature Mates Nature Club The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) defines a wetland as, “a place in which the land is covered by water — salt, fresh or somewhere in between — either seasonally or permanently. It functions as its distinct ecosystem.” Bheries are the type of fisheries generally practiced in low land impounded with earthen embankments all round. The age-old bheri-culture has emerged in North 24 Parganas District in its south and eastern skirts centering the lower course of the Bidyadhari River. Salinity in bheri-water is sourced from brackish sea water entered through rivers and canals. Kolkata has several wetlands in its vicinity and one of them is the Kamduni wetlands of Kharibari, near Barasat. The wetland and bheries of Kharibari is a visiting spot for many local and migratory birds. Some of these birds are from the Himalayan foothills, others travel from central Asia. During spring, the waters in the wetlands recede making food easily available for the water birds. This attracts a host of long and short-distance migrant birds along with local birds. The Black Winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus) is the main feature of Kamduni wetlands. They are known as lal thengi by the locals because of their long, thin, vivid pink legs. They have white bodies and black wings, and they utilize their slender legs to wade through the shallow waters in quest of food. They are local migrants and always search for water bodies with shallow water, which gives simple feeding. As the temperature rises and the water level falls, the birds migrate to more favorable habitats. Pied Avocets (Recurvirostra avosetta) is another flying visitor to Kamduni, traveling across the Himalayas from Central Asia. During the winter, they migrate to the subcontinent's coasts. On their journey back home, they take a short break in Kamduni to refuel for their lengthy trip across the Himalayas. These black and white birds have downward concave beaks that allow them to scoop up food from shallow seas. They are known locally as Ulto Thuti (reverse beak) due to their unusual beak shape. They move in big numbers and produce a spectacular display when they soar out of the water. Kamduni wetlands of Kharibari is an ideal place for the birds which need to be protected from increased urbanization and human intervention. This dataset includes all the birds recorded from kamduni wetlands of kharibari and the bheries present in the vicinity. A list of all the birds identified during a biodiversity survey carried out between November 2017 to April 2018 is included in this dataset. All the birds have been identified upto species level. There are 56 bird species in total, with records of them in 18 different families and 10 different orders.
