The organisers of the Narora Bird Marathon 2011 sincerely acknowledge the inspiration and
motivation provided by Dr. S.K. Jain, CMD, NPCIL and BHAVINI. Environment Stewardship
Programme is an innovative nature conservation programme, which came into existence
essentially due to his enthusiasm and inspiration. Indeed, the ESP programme, in its entirety, is
more than the sum of its parts, while it is a forum which has given the nature lovers a platform to
work for Mother Nature.
We feel a deep sense of gratitude to Shri N. Nagaich, Executive Director (CP&CC), NPCIL, who
appreciated the idea of Bird Marathon and backed it with all the support needed.
The organisers of the event acknowledge with great sense of appreciation the unconditional
support provided by Shri B.B. Mithal, Station Director, NAPS, who approved this project swiftly
and reposed full confidence in us. We not only acknowledge the guidance provided by Shri L.K.
Jain, Chief Superintendent, NAPS, but also the affection that he showered on us. We are deeply
thankful to Shri Ajai Kumar, DGM (HR), NAPS, for his continued support on every front.
We acknowledge with gratitude the services provided by Shri A.K. Mishra, in-charge, Transport,
Shri Sanjay Kumar, Head (IT) and Shri S.S. Adhikari, Manager (Hospitality). We are also thankful
to Shri A.K. Sen (Station Fire Officer) for accepting to become the Controller of the event.
We are thankful to the Chief Wildlife Warden of Uttar Pradesh, Shri B.K. Pattanaik, for granting us
the permission to conduct this event.
We are thankful to Director, BNHS, Dr. Asad R. Rahmani, for his blessings and all-round support.
We are thankful to the U.P State Coordinators of IBCN, Dr. V.P. Singh and Shri Neeraj

Mishra, Ashutosh Tripathi, Dr. Jaswant Singh Kalair, Shri Gaurav Parihar, Shri Hari Singh, Shri
Satpal Singh and Shri A.M. Khan for attending this event, overcoming all kinds of hurdles. Without
the presence of these ardent bird lovers, the event would not have been as successful as it turned
out to be.
We wish to convey our heartfelt thanks to Wild Bird Protection Society for encouraging the
participants by presenting souvenirs, and to Katarniaghat Foundation, Shri Shyam Mohan and
Dr. Sandeep Behera of WWF - India for their splendid support to nature conservation efforts.
We are also thankful to the media for their coverage in their newspapers, which helped in
sensitizing the local populace.
We are indeed thankful to all the participants from NAPS family, whose untiring effort has enabled
us to increase the size of our bird checklist.

Introduction

ION Narora, a small place in the district Bulandshahr, U.P, is situated on the banks of river Ganges
and is famous for it's nuclear power station - NAPS (Narora Atomic Power Station). It is quite rich
in biodiversity and is also an Important bird area (IBA No:_IN-UP-10), a designation given by the
Bird Life International for “global network of sites for the conservation of the world's birds and
other biodiversity” and it is also an international RAMSAR Site, i.e., an internationally important
wetland system. Besides NAPS, Narora is also famous for North India's large irrigation system -
Narora Barrage and river Ganges, which is visited by thousands of devotees for a holy bath.
Based on a number of features, birds can play a vital role in nature conservation planning.
Several of bird species are globally threatened and endemic. Birds have been studied in great
detail and their habitats requirements and distributions were understood. They are also possible
to record and identify in the field, are good indicators of habitat condition and also human
disturbance, and can act as flagships for conservation. Studies in other countries have shown
that birds can be a highly efficient means of setting conservation priorities in the absence of
detailed data on other taxa (Howard et al. 1998; Burgess et al., 2002). Thus, although the IBA
Status was given to Narora based on birds, its protection would ensure the survival of a
correspondingly large number of taxonomic groups.
In the year 2005, a species count for avian fauna was undertaken under the aegis of Bombay
Natural History Society (BNHS) and Indian Bird Conservation Network (IBCN), and a checklist
was prepared. The checklist has 117 numbers of species.
Narora Atomic Power Station (NAPS) has a unique “Environment Stewardship Programme
(ESP),” through which some employees of NAPS have been trained in bird watching and other
nature conservation activities. The training was imparted by BNHS and IBCN.
Over the years, the members of the ESP, who were engaged in bird-watching activities, were
reporting the sightings of bird species which were absent in the list. So, a need was felt that the
species count be undertaken in the presence of Uttar Pradesh State Co-ordinators of Indian Bird
Conservation Network. This would not only validate the data, but also result in the updating of the
checklist.
If this activity is repeated at regular intervals, the results may be needful in tracking the changes in
population. In addition, information on population sizes of individual species can also be used to
set priorities, allowing conservation activities to be focused on those species most in the need of
attention.

Definitions and AbbreviationsImportant Birds: Those birds which have status between Critically Endangered, Vulnerable and
Near Threatened, as per IUCN Red Data Book are termed as Important Birds.
Inconspicuous Birds: Those birds which are not easy to find and extra effort is required to spot
them are termed as inconspicuous birds.
EZ : (Exclusion Zone) A boundary of 1.6-km-radius around a nuclear power station
which is not inhabited by humans and is mostly covered with forest.
NAPS : Narora Atomic Power Station
NPCIL : Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited
ESP : Environment Stewardship Programme (a voluntary initiative of NPCIL)
IBA : Important Bird Areas (IBAs) are sites of international importance for bird
conservation at the global, regional or national level, based upon standard,
internationally recognized criteria. IBAs are not only important for birds, but
typically support a wide range of other important animal and plant species.
Furthermore, many IBAs are also significant for human welfare and economic
well-being, through protecting catchments, providing flood control or as a
source of natural resources.

GY In order to carry out the survey a unique event “Narora Bird Marathon 2011” was planned.
The survey was planned to be undertaken (the map is attached as Annexure-1) on south,
southeast, north and northwest side of NAPS. The area under the survey has different types of
habitat, including wetland, marshland, scrubland, farmland, forest, and river islands. Forested
areas were not covered in detail. By this method of division, a sort of stratification was achieved in
the area under study.
The total length was divided into eight numbers of transects (Table-1) and eight teams, each
comprising of one experienced bird watcher and four ESP members, were formed. Each team
consisted of a photographer, two persons carrying binoculars and a 'Bird Guide' and one person
with the datasheet to note the data. Each transect had an approximate length of 5.3km.
They were asked to move at a constant speed and count the species as well as the individuals
spotted, which is typical of a transect methodology. Since we were not interested in detailed
census, the perpendicular distance of the point of bird sighted from the transect route was omitted
from the data sheet.

ION The date for the Bird Marathon 2011 chosen was January 30, 2011, as it was Sunday, and as the
participants were largely employees, it would not hamper the work. Moreover, this is the time of
the winter season when there is absence of fog and visibility is proper. It is the time when passage
migrants may appear in the region and the area is covered with large number of species.
The prospective participants were briefed about the event progression on January 16, 2011; they
were made aware of the respective transects and the scientific method of collection of data
pertaining to this event.
Marathon Control Room was established at NAPS guesthouse. Shri A.K. Sen (Station Fire
Officer, NAPS) was the controller of the event. One ambulance was deputed with a physician on
call duty. The availability of the antidote of snakebite and other necessary medications required in
case of exigency was confirmed from the NAPS hospital.
At around 07:30 in the morning on January 30, 2011, the weather was cloudy with small showers.
But, after about a half an hour, the Sun emerged. The teams did report somewhat poor visibility in
the initial hours, but it was a clear day thereafter.
The observers went to see all the transects and were made aware of the habitats present.
The teams submitted their data sheets by 15:30 hrs. at Marathon Control Room. Subsequent to
this, the data entry part was done. The result of the Marathon was declared in the exit meeting at
19:00 hrs.

This exercise resulted in the increment of the old checklist by 66 numbers of new species.
During the visit, it was noted that the numbers of birds visiting this year has declined. The reason
may be attributed to the fact that due to heavy rains and the floods in the area new wetlands have
developed beyond the study area, and it is a possibility that birds may have spread to those new
wetlands.
Sightings of Egyptian Vulture in the study area needs attention and directs us to focus on the area
of vulture conservation for ensuring the area to be a diclofenac-free zone.
As per the present study, the individual count of the bird is of the total EZ area was surveyed in the
present study. Indian Peafowls recorded in the EZ itself, which comes out to be around 82 if we
extrapolate the results. The reason for this decline is not known. A detailed survey along with bird
count specifically for this species might give the true picture.
In order to do periodic monitoring, the need is felt to incorporate a monitoring programme in the
ESP, the responsibilities of which could be set with proper permission from the authorities.
In order to have a proper monitoring programme, the data now available may be used as an
Index. The modalities and methodology for the monitoring programme will be finalised in
duecourse.
Sightings of Egyptian Vulture in the study area needs attention and directs us to focus on the
area of vulture conservation for ensuring the area to be a diclofenac-free zone (diclofenac is
a pharmaceutical drug detrimental to Egyptian Vultures).
Decline in the population of Indian Peafowl calls for urgent action
