Abstract :
The intensive loss of natural wetlands as a consequence of human activities has lead to the use of new habitats by the
species linked to water presence. In India, thousands of hectares of agricultural lands are used by waterbirds as alternative
habitats. For this study, wintering waterbirds were counted in the agricultural lands found in three districts of Tamilnadu
during 2005 to 2010 and totally 89,217 birds belonged to 69 species were recorded.
