Check list of waterbirds at Wadi Djedi in Ziban Oasis-Algeria

catalaAquest treball documenta per primera vegada la comunitat d’avifauna de l’oasi de Wadi Djedi, a Ziban, regio situada al sud-est d’Algeria. Presentem els resultats obtinguts a partir dels recomptes mensuals d’ocells aquatics fets des del setembre de 2013 fins al setembre de 2016. En aquesta zona humida es van registrar un total de 36 especies d’ocells aquatics corresponents a 11 families. La familia Anatidea, amb 11 especies, es la mes representada. Entre el conjunt d’especies, 18 son hivernants, nou migrants, vuit especies criadores residents com ara l’anec canyella Tadorna furruginea i el corriol camanegre Charadrius alexandrines i una especie, la cigonya blanca, criadora migratoria. D’altra banda, dues especies, el xarxet marbrenc Marmaronetta angustirostris i el morell xocolater Aythya nyroca, estan incloses a la categoria VU de la Llista Roja d’especies amenacades de la Unio Internacional per a la Conservacio de la Natura (UICN). MultipleThis pioneering work is the first to document the aquatic avifauna community of the Wadi Djedi in the Ziban region in southeast of Algeria. We present results obtained through the monthly counts of waterbirds conducted from September 2013 to September 2016. On this wetland we recorded36 species of water birds representing 11 families. The Anatidae family was the most numerous, with 11 species. From among all the species, 18 were wintering species, nine were visitors, ocho were sedentary breeding species (including the ruddy shelduck Tadorna furruginea and kentish plover Charadrius alexandrines) and one species was migratory nesting (the white stork Ciconia ciconia). Two species (the teal marbled Marmaronetta angustirostris and ferruginous duck Aythya nyroca) are listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of endangered species.
