1.  BIRD MIGRATION 1.1  There are no significant and periodic birds shifting which should be considered as a hazard to air navigation.

The presence of birds at aerodromes occurs during the rainy seasons and bigger numbers are seen at the beginning and towards the end of those periods, groups of black kites, pied crow and black headed heron are mostly seen.
 
1.3  Reporting of Bird Strike

To facilitate the reporting of incidents, a Bird Strike Reporting Form has been produced and may be obtained at the International Airport Briefing Office. Any supplementary information on the circumstances under which the incident took place should also be added.

2.   AREAS WITH SENSITIVE FAUNA 2.1  Many species of birds as well as mammals are sensitive to noise from aircraft and overflying their breeding and resting places may be critical. Overflying of such areas at heights below 1000 ft (300 m) shall be avoided.
