This Survey was conducted in Selkeh and Espand International Wetlands( 78 and 45 ha., respectively).
In Selkeh wetland 57 and, in Espand 39 species were identified. The average monthly waterfowl and wader birds counts were 5021 and 2695, respectively. The avereage density of birds in Selkeh and Espand wetlands was 64 and 60 birds per ha., respectively. In both areas common teal (Anas crecca) was the major species. The major population in Selkeh consists of autumn, winter and spring migrants and for Espand it was winter migrant only.
The species number, population size, biodiversity indices of Menhinick, Simpson’s and Shanon- Wiener diversity and evenness in Selkeh habitat was more than in Espand habitat. Here, only Margalef richness and Simpson’s dominance indices greater.
