| Résumé : | Population density and community structure of birds were studied at three sites in riverine forest in the lowveld of Swaziland. Birds were surveyed monthly using a standard point count technique. A total of 101 species of birds was recorded. Species richness at the three sites ranged between 70-76 species. Population density was similar at the three sites and ranged between 24.0-31.2 birds ha(-1). Biomass of birds was also similar at the three sites. Resident birds accounted for 74% of all species, but made up 97% of the individuals and biomass. There was a relatively large number of vagrant species, but they only accounted for |
