Bhutan II Th Th 16 April to 5 May 2015 (20 Days)
Trip Report Bhutan II th th 16 April to 5 May 2015 (20 days) Ibisbill by Wayne Jones Trip report compiled by tour leader Wayne Jones Trip Report - RBT Bhutan II 2015 2 Our Bhutan tour kicked off at 350m above sea level in Samdrup Jongkhar, the border town close to Assam. The town's quiet gentility was quite a contrast to the hubbub of the Indian province in which we had just spent the last five days. Our arrival was in the late afternoon, so after settling into our hotel and meeting for dinner there wasn't much scope for birding. After supper, attempts to draw in a calling Collared Scops Owl were not entertained by the bird in question and a thunderstorm gently encouraged us to head to our rooms. This was to be the first of many encounters with rain in Bhutan! Crimson Sunbird by Wayne Jones The next morning we began our birding day with a walk along the main road on the outskirts of town while our bus went ahead to collect us later, the general modus operandi of birding in Bhutan. We glimpsed Red Junglefowl, Striated and Indian Pond Herons, Crested Honey Buzzard – one of which perched in a tree for good views, a Black Eagle cruising low over the treetops, Crested Goshawk, Green-billed Malkoha, House Swift, Wreathed Hornbill, Oriental Dollarbird, Lesser Yellownape, White-throated Kingfisher, Black-winged Cuckooshrike, Scarlet Minivet, Long-tailed Shrike, Ashy and Bronzed Drongos, Black-crested Bulbul, Red-rumped Swallow, Greenish Warbler, Rufescent Prinia, a gorgeous Asian Fairy-bluebird, a fleeting White-rumped Shama, common but beautiful Verditer Flycatcher, Black-backed Forktail, Blue Whistling Thrush, White- capped Redstart, Crimson Sunbird, Streaked Spiderhunter and Chestnut-tailed Starling. -

Valkenburg LEADER: MACHIEL VALKENBURG LIST COMPILED BY: MACHIEL VALKENBURG VICTOR EMANUEL NATURE TOURS, INC. 2525 WALLINGWOOD DRIVE, SUITE 1003 AUSTIN, TEXAS 78746 WWW.VENTBIRD.COM BHUTAN March 26–April 14, 2019 By Machiel Valkenburg Our annual adventure to Bhutan started in Delhi, where we all came together for the flight to Paro in Bhutan. The birding here started immediately outside of the airport parking lot, finding the wonderful Ibisbill, which we quickly located in the wide stream along the airport road. It seemed to be a cold spring, with quite an amount of snow still on the surrounding peaks. Our visit to the Cheli La (La means pass) was good for some new surprises like Snow Pigeon and Alpine Accentor. We found Himalayan White- browed Rosefinch feeding in an alpine meadow, and then suddenly two Himalayan Monals appeared and showed very well. Here we were happy with extra sightings of Blood Pheasant, Black Eagle, Blue-fronted Redstart, and Yellow-billed Blue-Magpie. After Paro, we started our journey east with a drive to Thimphu and Punakha, visiting Dochu La and Tashitang along the way. The birding in these places is nothing but spectacular with great sightings constantly. These lush green valleys are very photogenic, and many stops were made to take in all the landscapes. The birding was good here with excellent sightings of a crossing Hill Partridge, some exquisite Ultramarine Flycatchers, a close overhead Rufous-bellied Eagle, a surprise sighting of a day- roosting Tawny Fish-Owl, and some wonderful scope views of a party of Gray Treepies. -

Strazds, J. Baumanis, K. Funts Ievads Svešzemju putnu nosaukumu tulkošana Latvijā sākās jau ar pirmo publicēto grāmatu – E. Glika tulkoto Bībeli, jo jau tajā ir minēti vairāki svešzemju putni, piemēram, strauss ( Bībele. Latviešu val. 1689). Pēc tam dažādas Latvijā nesastopamas sugas ir minētas vairākās latviešu valodas vārdnīcās (Lange 1773; Stender 1789; u.c.), un daži no šiem nosaukumiem jau ir stabili iegājušies valodas praksē. Vajadzība pēc pilnīga putnu nosaukumu saraksta latviski ir palielinājusies pēdējā laikā, kad bija nepieciešams latviskot dažādu Latvijai saistošu konvenciju pielikumu tekstus, latviski tulko nopietnas enciklopēdijas (par putniem), tiek tulkotas dažādu zemju dokumentālās &lmas vai, vienkārši, daudzi cilvēki apceļo pasauli un grib citiem pastāstīt arī par eksotiskās zemēs redzētiem putniem. Arī tulkotajā daiļliteratūrā brīžiem pavīd kādi putni, kuru nosaukumi tiek latviskoti. Saraksta pamatu izveidoja Jānis Baumanis pēc holandiešu valodnieka Rūrda Jorritsma lūguma, kurš 1992. gadā sāka darbu pie putnu nosaukumu vārdnīcas izveides visās Eiropas valodās. Šobrīd vairs nav iespējams pateikt, cik no šeit publicētajiem nosaukumiem ir J. Baumaņa doti, taču viņa ieguldījums šā materiāla tapšanā ir ļoti nozīmīgs, tādēļ viņš saglabāts kā autors arī šim saraksta gala variantam. -
