Abstract

Nelapattu Bird Sanctuary is an important breeding site for Grey Pelican. The number of pelicans arriving at NBS vary from year to year. The number of birds visiting NBS and quantity of rainfall received was studied for the last 10 years. It indicates positive relationship between number of birds visiting NBS and quantity of rainfall received. Study also shows relation between the success of breeding and quantity of rainfall received. However it also reveals that the number of birds arriving NBS is not totally dependent on rainfall and further studies are required. However success of breeding is directly proportional to the quantity of rainfall received.
