Abstract
This was an exploratory / baseline survey to assess the ornithofauna of Salt Range Wetlands Complex. The team started the survey from Kalar Kahar Lake. A total of seven days (15 December to 22 December. 2006) were deployed on the survey. Bird data was collected at each lake by walking across the shore line, by boat and on vehicle in surrounding buffer zone of two kilometers. Field observers recorded all birds seen or heard on the site. The survey found significant populations of waterfowl, including House Crow (20,910), Black or Eurasian Coot (7,036), Common Pochard (3,524), Mallard (2,556), Gadwall (2,225), Northern Pintail (1,200), Dabchick (690), Northern Shoveler (678), Black Winged Stilt (482), Common Myna (461) and other birds (2,061) with a total count of 42,663 birds of 121 species. The financial support for survey was provided by Pakistan Wetlands Project.
