      abstract = {Jodhpur Jhal Wetland is not only a breeding place for terrestrial birds but also for water birds. It’s a home for several near threatened and vulnerable species such as Sarus crane. The present study aimed to evaluate the breeding biology of avian fauna in Jodhpur Jhal wetland, Mathura having 27°14'23.1"N and 77°46'59.1"E geographical coordinates. The study was carried out in two phases i.e., from May 2021 to September 2021 and October 2021 to February 2022. Total 49 species were monitored during their respective breeding periods. The emphasis was given on their breeding behaviour, period of nesting activity, nests, brood patches and eggs. Nests of 49 species were counted. Most of the species were found to be breeding during rainy season in which species from the family Phasianidae & Leothrichidae outnumbered. Jodhpur Jhal wetland evidently has a prominent habitat for large number of bird species and should be maintained properly.},
