Bird Diversity in Prince of Songkla University Area, Pattani Province
Abstract
Bird diversity in Prince of Songkhla University Area, Pattani province was conducted during March 2017 - April 2018. The observed birds were found in 41 families, 96 species which top 5 families are Ardeidae 11 species, Sturnidae 6 species, Cuculidae 5 species and Alcedinidae/Halcyonidae/Cerylidae, Accipitridae, Cisticolidae and Columbidae 4 species. The year-round species diversity is 3.27 and evenness index 0.71. The most abundant birds are Germain’s Swiftlet (Aerodramus germani) 1,474 counts, Lesser Sand Plover (Charadrius mongolus) 984 counts and Eurasian Tree Sparrow (Passer montanus) 810 counts. Near-threatened birds are found 4 species which are Curlew Sandpiper (Calidris ferruginea), Black-tailed Godwit (Limosa limosa) Bar-tailed Godwit (Limosa lapponica) and Red-necked Stint (Calidris ruficollis). Birds were categorized in 4 groups according to their abundance which are very common (32 species), common (19 species), uncommon (22 species) and rare (24 species) Keywords : diversity; Urban birds; Prince of Songkla University; Southernmost ThailandReferences
