Bird Fauna Diversity and Habitat Evolution in Jijioara River Valley (Romania)
2016
Gache, Carmen
We present our five years fieldworks’ results on the birds’ diversity and seasonal presence, including breeding birds’ populations on the Jijioara River valley that represent part of ROSPA0042 Ponds of Jijia and Miletin rivers. We recorded 129 bird species, including some rare breeding species in Romania like Platalea leucorodia, Recurvirostra avosetta, Himantopus himantopus, including two globally threatened species Aythya nyroca and Crex crex, all of them being recorded with small number of breeding pairs in the area. During the passage, hundreds of individuals of waterfowls present and waders are present on the suitable feeding areas. In the western part of the site, we found a very high level of habitats’ degradation, while the birds’ diversity and effectives were presenting a constant negative trend during our study period.
