Introduction
Jamnagar, the Land of Birds, is well known for its abundance of bio-diversity. This district of Gujarat is the richest in marine and avian fauna. It is indeed a significant mark on the global birding map. Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary is situated at 22 30 50.88N latitudes and 70 09 14.64E longitudes, which is 15 km away from Jamnagar, Gujarat-INDIA. Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary is spread over an area of 604.86 hectors. Out of this, the first 182.90 hectors have been declared as a Sanctuary under the W ildlife Protection Act, 1972 vide Government of Gujarat, Forest and Environment Department on 27 t h May, 1982 and remaining 421.96 hectors were included on 6 t h November, 1982. Formerly, this area was the seacoast and marshy revenue wasteland of the villages Khijadiya, Jambuda and Dhunvav of Jamnagar district. Before Independence, reclamation bunds were built to prevent salinity ingress and storing the water of the rivers Ruparel and Kalindri by His Highness Maharaja, the Jamsaheb Shri Ranjitsinhji of Nawanagar State in 1920. It was renovated by Government of Gujarat in 1956. The Ministry of Environment and Forest, Government of India has recognized Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary as one of the important National Level W etlands under NATIONAL W ETLAND CONSERVATION PROGRAMME, due to both - the fresh and marine water eco-system existing at one place. Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary is listed among the Important Bird Areas of India with IBA code: IN-GJ-07. This sanctuary needs to be classified as per International Convention of RAMSAR as a CLASS A type W etland Sanctuary. Although the area of Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary is relatively small, but it has an amazing variety of habitats like, rivers, fresh water, brackish water, saline water, tidal mudflats, mangroves, grassland, scrubland and agricultural land. These numerous micro and macro habitats form a unique eco-system. The temperature varies from 7 C in winter to 42 C in summer and average rainfall is about 555 mm. Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary is a paradise for waterfowls, waders and terrestrial birds. More than 300 species of birds have been recorded in and around the Sanctuary and among them nearly 200 species are seen regularly during the year. In addition to being a wonderful Avifauna habitat, it is also a home to other fauna like mammals (Blue-bulls, Jackals, Jungle cats,) Reptiles (Snakes, Monitor Lizards), invertebrates (Butterflies, Insects) amidst some significant flora. This habitat provides an excellent breeding ground for migratory birds like Great Crested Grebe, Glossy Ibis and globally threatened species (as per Bird Life International), like Blacknecked Storks, Painted Storks, Darters, Black-headed Ibis, Eurasian Spoonbills etc. Geographically, Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary is an important location on the migratory routes covering North to South Asia along the W estern Flyway and the W est Coast of India adjoining the Gulf of Kutch. Some of the characteristic species like Dalmatian Pelicans, Pallid Harriers, Greater Spotted Eagles etc. stay here for the whole winter making it a remarkable wintering ground and some species like European Rollers, Spotted Flycatchers etc. make it a passage before migrating Southwards. The legendry Indian Ornithologist Dr. Salim Ali visited the Sanctuary in 1984 and he proclaimed, Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary is such an amazing Treasure of Birds. Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary is divided in two sections - a) Dhuvav and b) Jambuda. There are three watchtowers in both these sections which provide an excellent vantage point for birdwatchers during the nature trials. Every winter, a Nature Education Camp is organized by Marine Forest DepartmentJamnagar for school & college students. I would really like to appreciate Marine Forest Department, Jamnagar for their efforts in conserving Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary.
