The reservoir’s shallow edges\, mudflats\, and reed beds create ideal feeding and nesting habitats for a variety of waterbirds and waders. The combination of aquatic vegetation and nearby tree cover supports a rich avifaunal community\, with both resident and migratory species frequenting the area. Common sightings include Indian Spot-billed Duck\, Little Cormorant\, Bronze-winged Jacana\, Red-wattled Lapwing\, Purple Heron\, and White-breasted Waterhen\, along with smaller species like Paddyfield Pipit\, Green Bee-eater\, and Coppersmith Barbet in the surrounding landscape. During winter\, migratory ducks\, terns\, and sandpipers visit the reservoir\, enhancing its bird richness and making it a favored destination for birdwatchers and researchers in eastern Maharashtra. \n \n \n \n Despite its biodiversity value\, Pangdi Reservoir faces increasing threats from human-induced pressures such as encroachment\, agricultural runoff\, and unregulated fishing. Water pollution from fertilizers and pesticides affects aquatic vegetation and the food base for waterbirds\, while the cutting of surrounding trees reduces nesting and roosting sites. Seasonal water level fluctuations further disrupt breeding activities of species dependent on stable wetland conditions. Conservation efforts should prioritize maintaining the ecological balance of the reservoir by regulating fishing practices\, controlling chemical use in nearby farms\, and promoting community awareness on sustainable wetland management. Restoration of native vegetation along the reservoir margins and routine bird monitoring can help secure Pangdi’s role as a vital wetland refuge for the region’s diverse avifauna. \n \n \n \n \n Bird Guide - Nitesh YadavNitesh Yadav\, from Gondia\, Maharashtra\, is an engineer-turned-naturalist who discovered his passion for wildlife and nature during his years in the corporate sector.

The reservoir and its surrounding landscape host a variety of species such as Indian Spot-billed Duck\, Black-winged Stilt\, Red-wattled Lapwing\, River Tern\, and Little Cormorant\, which depend on its waters for feeding and nesting. The adjoining trees and scrublands are home to woodland birds like the Coppersmith Barbet\, Indian Gray Hornbill\, Rose-ringed Parakeet\, and Rufous Treepie\, while insectivorous species such as the Indian Paradise Flycatcher\, Tickell’s Blue Flycatcher\, and Ashy Drongo are frequently sighted flitting among the foliage. The presence of raptors like the Gray-headed Fish-Eagle and nocturnal species such as the Jungle Owlet further adds to the ecological significance of the site. \n \n \n \n Among the highlights of Pangdi’s birdlife are colorful and uncommon species such as the Indian Pitta\, Orange-headed Thrush\, and Black-naped Monarch\, which use the area during migration and breeding seasons. The reservoir also provides an important refuge for winter visitors like the Bar-headed Goose\, which arrive in sizable flocks. However\, the growing pressures of agricultural expansion\, water pollution\, and unregulated fishing threaten the wetland’s delicate ecological balance.

Ataavi does not retain or profit from this amount.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About Pangdi Reservoir \n \n \n \n Pangdi Reservoir\, located in Gondia district of Maharashtra\, is an ecologically significant freshwater habitat surrounded by a mosaic of agricultural fields\, moist deciduous forest patches\, and scrublands. The reservoir’s shallow edges\, mudflats\, and reed beds create ideal feeding and nesting habitats for a variety of waterbirds and waders. The combination of aquatic vegetation and nearby tree cover supports a rich avifaunal community\, with both resident and migratory species frequenting the area. Common sightings include Indian Spot-billed Duck\, Little Cormorant\, Bronze-winged Jacana\, Red-wattled Lapwing\, Purple Heron\, and White-breasted Waterhen\, along with smaller species like Paddyfield Pipit\, Green Bee-eater\, and Coppersmith Barbet in the surrounding landscape. During winter\, migratory ducks\, terns\, and sandpipers visit the reservoir\, enhancing its bird richness and making it a favored destination for birdwatchers and researchers in eastern Maharashtra. \n \n \n \n Despite its biodiversity value\, Pangdi Reservoir faces increasing threats from human-induced pressures such as encroachment\, agricultural runoff\, and unregulated fishing. Water pollution from fertilizers and pesticides affects aquatic vegetation and the food base for waterbirds\, while the cutting of surrounding trees reduces nesting and roosting sites. Seasonal water level fluctuations further disrupt breeding activities of species dependent on stable wetland conditions. Conservation efforts should prioritize maintaining the ecological balance of the reservoir by regulating fishing practices\, controlling chemical use in nearby farms\, and promoting community awareness on sustainable wetland management. Restoration of native vegetation along the reservoir margins and routine bird monitoring can help secure Pangdi’s role as a vital wetland refuge for the region’s diverse avifauna. \n \n \n \n \n Bird Guide - Nitesh YadavNitesh Yadav\, from Gondia\, Maharashtra\, is an engineer-turned-naturalist who discovered his passion for wildlife and nature during his years in the corporate sector.

The reservoir and its surrounding landscape host a variety of species such as Indian Spot-billed Duck\, Black-winged Stilt\, Red-wattled Lapwing\, River Tern\, and Little Cormorant\, which depend on its waters for feeding and nesting. The adjoining trees and scrublands are home to woodland birds like the Coppersmith Barbet\, Indian Gray Hornbill\, Rose-ringed Parakeet\, and Rufous Treepie\, while insectivorous species such as the Indian Paradise Flycatcher\, Tickell’s Blue Flycatcher\, and Ashy Drongo are frequently sighted flitting among the foliage. The presence of raptors like the Gray-headed Fish-Eagle and nocturnal species such as the Jungle Owlet further adds to the ecological significance of the site. \n \n \n \n Among the highlights of Pangdi’s birdlife are colorful and uncommon species such as the Indian Pitta\, Orange-headed Thrush\, and Black-naped Monarch\, which use the area during migration and breeding seasons.
