Abstract:Bird diversity research is an important work in nature reserves. From January 2021 to December 2021, the bird diversity in Bandong Provincial Nature Reserve, Liannan County, Guangdong Province, was investigated by using the method of transect and sampling point. The results showed that a total of 211 species were recorded, belonging to 15 orders, 54 family. Among these, 2 species were listed in the first category and 34 species in the second category of the Lists of Wildlife under Special State Protection in China. The fauna was dominated by the oriental bird, with 129 species, and 44 species were palaearctic bird. The resident bird had the advantage, with 136 species and 40 species were winter bird. The dominant species were Staphida torqueola and Alcippe hueti, with 27 common and 59 rare species, respectively. The calculation results of Shannon Wiener diversity index, Marglef richness index, Pielou evenness index and Simpson index in reserve are the highest in Bandong Protection Station. The reserve is a necessary route for the migration of a large number of herons and other migratory birds every year, and it is suggested to strengthen monitoring and timely grasp the change dynamics of migratory birds
