The fieldwork provides occupational therapy to the fieldworkers, amateurs, professionals and nature lovers, which impart the opportunity to integrate academic knowledge with application skills at progressively higher levels of performance and responsibility. The unique contributions of fieldwork include the opportunity to test firsthand theories and facts learned in academic study and to refine skills through interaction under the supervision of qualified personnel. Fieldwork also provides the naturalist with situations in which to practice interpersonal skills to develop characteristics essential to productive working relationships. Keeping in mind such facts, the present book on ‘Biodiversity and Birds: A Field Records’ is written in articulate manner citing innovative and inventive sightings of some unique species in the forested pockets of Gujarat, India. The book encompasses archetypal records of plants, animals, and birds along with their distinctive occurrence, feeding patterns, conservation, and management of threatened biodiversity, and many more. It also describes some remarkable, noteworthy, and astonishing sightings of species inhabiting in potential niches, habitats, and ecosystems of Western India. Here, the author has shared his incidental as well as subsisting experiences in amazing habitats amidst the nature trails of forested patches and thickets. This book will undoubtedly enrich and enhance the knowledge and awareness of naturalists in the field.

Hello Debbie,
First of all thank you so much for suggesting me this website to be in touch with guys of environment. That was first and last time i failed to do safari without seeing a lion.
Thank you so much for reference of Dr Meredith. I would love to work if opportunity comes. Actually I am already masters in Geoinformatics and I am looking for PhD programme.
Thanks again. take care and wish you all the best.
good to hear from you - I remember meeting you last year when I visited Gir although failed ot actually see a lion it was a good trip. I'm jsut back from a wedding in Jaipur and I did get to Sariska National Park - and failed to see a tiger lathough was with the radio trackers and we were very close.
