The study was conducted to record migratory birds visiting to different water bodies located in Ballari district, Karnataka during 2014 to 2019. Among the major group of migratory birds, the Oriental pratincole (Glariola maldivarum) found visiting T.B Dam backwater areas like Bannigola, Ankasamudra, Nakaral Tanda etc, during summer (March to May). Earlier records revealed that this bird has not been sighted in Indian subcontinent (Salim Ali 1941) but Grimmet et al., (2011, Birds of the Indian sub-continent) recorded it as a rare visitor to Indian subcontinent. However, it might have become resident migratory bird of Indian sub-continent but has not been recorded in the study area earlier. Since 2014 onwards visitation of Oriental pratincole to this study area is regularly observed during summer and also found breeding (lays 2-3 eggs) on the open grounds of open areas of T.B. Dam backwaters, Further, the bird was not sighted after May month onwards in any of the study area.
