(1) preening (2) chasing (3) walking (4) foraging (5) drinking (6) resting (7) yawning (8) courtship displays (9) mating (10) defecation (11) wing stretching (12) bill clattering (13) wing fl apping (14) bathing (15) incubating the eggs and (16) feeding the chicks. Date, observation time, temperature (day’s maximum and minimum) and cloud cover (cloudy/ sunny) were also recorded. During the study, about 45000 km were coverd by foot and using a four wheel drive vehicle. To study the inter- and intraspecifi c interactions, chasings were recorded while taking data on the activity patterns of the Blacknecked Crane. The duration of aggressiveness shown towards other species, the species reacted to and their numbers were also recorded. The activity of Blacknecked Crane before it chased an intruder was also recorded. Time taken to chase away an intruder, the distance chased and the distance between Black-necked Crane and the intruder before engaging in an aggressive act were also noted. To understand the reason for the confl ict, the activity of the intruding species (before being chased away) was recorded too. The types of threats and their likely impacts on the breeding population of cranes were also recorded. Development work going on around the wetlands were also recorded. Nikon binoculars and spotting scopes were used to spot the birds. Locations were taken using a Garmin 12 CX GPS. A digital stopwatch, a hand tally counter and a still camera were used to record specifi c events. Direct or visual count method was used to count the birds. Such a method has been widely used for counting aquatic birds (Eltringham and Atkinson- Wiles 1961; Roux 1973; Zewarts 1976; Alford and Bolen 1977; Amat 1984; Sridharan 1989). 24 Black-necked Crane - Status, Breeding, Productivity and Conservation
