3.2.3 Feeding habits<br />
Most of the species recorded from Keti Bunder were granivore in nature (five in<br />
summer and six in winter followed by insectivores (four in summer and three in<br />
winter) and then herbivores and omnivores (ranging from one to two species over<br />
both seasons). Figure 2 gives a graphical portrayal of the number of species over<br />
feeding habits.<br />

3.2.4 Habitat and occurrence<br />
The majority of the species were recorded from agriculture land (shown by<br />
Figure 3) followed by trees (arboreal roosting sites of bat species) and then<br />
equally water and open land habitats. Any similarities between the results of<br />
feeding habits and habitat occupancy are probably auto-correlated.
