Summer<br />

As with the diversity index, there is significant variation over winter and summer<br />

seasons. In summer there is more similarity with Keti Bunder – Keti Shah and<br />

Keti Bunder – Pai Forest whereas in winter the similarity lies in Keenjhar Lake –<br />

Pai Forest and Keenjhar Lake – Chotiari Reservoir. Again this indicates that the<br />

arrival (or departure) of migratory birds and/or differing levels of disturbance over<br />

the seasons is affecting the presence and absence of birds across the sites.<br />

Winter<br />
