Trip Report 3Rd to 9Th September 2013 Bali Trip Report 3rd to 9th September 2013 Green Junglefowl by David Hoddinott Trip report compiled by Tour Leader: David Hoddinott RBT Bali 2013 Trip Report 2 Some of the top birds seen during this tour: 1. Javan Banded Pitta 6. Oriental Plover 2. Green Junglefowl 7. Sunda Scops Owl 3. Bali Myna 8. Cerulean Kingfisher 4. Yellow-throated Hanging Parrot 9. Sunda Warbler 5. Javan Kingfisher 10. Crescent-chested Babbler Tour Summary Our first comprehensive Bali tour was a resounding success! We recorded a fabulous 169 species including a good number of near-endemics and Bali’s only endemic (and one of the world’s rarest birds to boot), the magnificent Bali Myna! On our first afternoon we all met up at our comfortable ecolodge in the wooded outskirts of Denpasar. Some participants had just arrived in Bali from their international flights and the rest of us had recently flown in from Manado after having completed a fabulous Sulawesi & Halmahera tour. Everyone had arrived in good time and after enjoying a delicious lunch we Bali Myna by David Hoddinott ventured out to the nearby Nusa Dua settling ponds to enjoy some bonus birding. The time we spent there was most enjoyable with some great sightings in the good, late afternoon light. Some of the highlights included several Sunda Teal, smart Nankeen Night Heron, Little Pied and Little Black Cormorants, huge White-bellied Sea Eagle, a smashing Little Tern in full breeding plumage, unexpected Island Collared Dove, gorgeous Pink-necked Green Pigeon, Cave Swiftlet hawking insects over the ponds, cracking Cerulean Kingfisher and our only Pied Myna of the trip. What a great start! The following morning before breakfast we then notched up a splendid male Scarlet-headed Flowerpecker and Olive-backed Tailorbird, a really cracking way to commence the day. Before making our way to our next destination, Bedugul of the central highlands, we stopped off at the fabulous Serangan Island. The mudflats, mangroves and surrounding grassland here rewarded us with awesome views of Ruddy-breasted Crake and a myriad of waders including Pacific Golden, Javan, Lesser, Greater and Oriental Plovers, Black-tailed and Bar-tailed Godwits, Far Eastern Javan Banded Pitta by David Curlew, Terek Sandpiper, Great Knot and vagrant Pied Hoddinott Oystercatcher. RBT Bali 2013 Trip Report 3 After breaking for a welcome lunch, we meandered through some rice paddies and were soon enjoying fabulous views of the gaudy Javan Kingfisher and a flock of Javan Munia. The beautiful climate and lush forests around Bedugul, our next destination, were a welcome change to the hot and humid lowlands. Exploring the network of trails and roads in the Botanical Gardens was most enjoyable as we continued to bolster our ever-growing birdlist. Some notable sightings included flocks of Grey-cheeked Green Pigeon, the difficult-to-see Yellow-throated Hanging Parrot (which showed particularly well, giving great scope views!), Rusty-breasted and elusive Sunda Cuckoos, highly elusive Javan Owlet, a cracking Large- tailed Nightjar, Flame-fronted Barbet, Freckle-breasted Woodpecker, Lesser Cuckooshrike, Small Minivet, cute Sunda Warbler, Chestnut-backed Scimitar Babbler, Western Barn Owl by David Hoddinott Mees’s White-eye, shy Javan Whistling Thrush, Fulvous-chested Jungle Flycatcher and Blood-breasted Flowerpecker. Not a bad tally indeed! Leaving the highlands we next headed for the fabulous Bali Barat NP in far western Bali. A stop at Buyan Lake en route yielded Yellow Bittern, Javan Pond Heron in breeding plumage (what a bird!), White-browed Crake and an exceptional vagrant in the form of Fairy Martin, a new species for Bali! We then enjoyed a fantastic three days in Bali Barat NP, exploring the array of habitats including dry forest around our lodge, the nearby estuary, mangroves and salt works, the peninsula with its impressive woodland and grassland, Menjangan Island and, finally, the fabulous rainforest for which this area is particularly renowned. Highlights of our stay here included the wonderful birding around our very comfortable accommodation, where we also enjoyed the most delicious meals! Some of the species seen included the striking Green Junglefowl, Lesser Adjutant, Pacific Reef Heron, Changeable Hawk-Eagle (several adults and even a chick at the nest), Black-thighed Falconet, sought after Beach Stone-curlew, a flock of close-flying Black-naped Tern, Ruddy Cuckoo-Dove, Orange-breasted Green Pigeon, Chestnut-breasted Malkoha, cryptic Sunda Scops Owl, Savanna Nightjar, Chestnut-headed Bee-eater, a splendid pair of Laced Woodpecker, beautiful Javan Banded Pitta, Racket-tailed Treepie, Bar-winged Prinia, Crescent-chested Babbler, endangered Black- winged Starling and Java Sparrow. Bali’s only endemic, the Critically Endangered Bali Myna, has fortunately recovered from a mere 7 wild birds to the current 26, with a further 120 in a captive breeding programme. This spectacular species showed particularly well for us and we even managed Lemon-bellied White-eye by David Hoddinott to find two birds that were unbanded, a great sign that there has been some recent breeding success! A good selection of mammals were also enjoyed on the island including Ebony Leaf Monkey, which is RBT Bali 2013 Trip Report 4 endemic to Java and Bali, impressive Black Giant Squirrel, Asian Palm Civet, Rusa Deer, Wild Boar and a bonus in the form of the shy Leopard Cat. And so ended a wonderful trip to the fabulous island of Bali! After toasting our success with a final (and scrumptious!) celebratory dinner, and enjoying a well-deserved good night’s sleep, the following day some of the participants caught their departure flights home, while for those of us continuing on the Lesser Sundas tour, we hopped on a plane and flew to Waingapu, Sumba. Thanks to a really great group of enthusiastic and fun participants as well as a superb ground operations team. I am greatly looking forward to travelling with you all again in the future! (Personal note: This brief tour works particularly well as an extension to our Sulawesi & Halmahera and/or Lesser Sundas tours and comes highly recommended!)

    Indonesia Highlights of Western Indonesia (Flores, Komodo, Bali, Java & Sumatra) 15th to 28th July 2019 (14 days) Trip Report Javan Banded Pitta by Glen Valentine Trip report compiled by Tour Leader: Glen Valentine Top 10 list as voted for by the tour participants: 1. Javan Trogon 2. Red-crowned Barbet 3. Green Broadbill 4. Javan Frogmouth 5. Buffy Fish Owl 6. Pygmy Cupwing 7. Rufous-collared Kingfisher 8. Javan Banded Pitta 9. Red-bearded Bee-eater 10. Bali Myna Bali Myna (Starling) by Dennis Braddy Tour Summary… This short but extremely productive and varied tour, covering a fine selection of hand-picked “top birding sites and destinations” throughout Western Indonesia was an immense success, once again and was an absolute joy to lead due to our enthusiastic, fun and very good-natured group. Our quick-fire, two-week tour of western Indonesia, kicked off in Denpasar, on the island of Bali where we all met up at the Harris Hotel for an introductory dinner and flight the following morning to the island of Flores, situated in Nusa Tenggara (The Lesser Sundas), a chain of islands running mostly east/west to the east of Wallace’s line, therefore having a distinctly Australasian flair about their avifauna. After arriving in the large, coastal town of Labuan Bajo, the gateway to the popular and famous Komodo Island, we boarded our minibus and began the windy drive east, up into the hills, towards our first biding locality of the tour, the forest reserve of Puarlolo. This small reserve was initially set aside to protect the endemic and highly threatened Flores Monarch that was only discovered from this area as recently as 1971 and is still only known from a few scattered localities in the sub-montane forest on Flores.

  • Indonesia 24 September to 15 October 2013
    Indonesia 24 September to 15 October 2013 Dave D Redfield Mammal Tour Picture: Sunda Flying Lemur (Colugo) with young by Richard White Report compiled by Richard White The story: 5 islands, 22 days and 52 mammals... A journey to a land where lizards fly, squirrels are the size of mice, civets look like otters and deer are no bigger than small annoying poodles...Indonesia! Where did this all begin...? In late June I was thinking of heading to Asia for a break. After yet another Tasmanian winter I wanted to sweat, get soaked in a tropical rain shower, get hammered by mosquitoes...I wanted to eat food with my hands (and not get stared at), wear sandals, drink cheap beer...and of course experience an amazing diversity of life. While researching some options I contacted my former employer and good friend Adam Riley from Rockjumper Birding Tours/Indri and he suggested I touch base with a client that I had arranged trips for before. The client (and now friend!) in question, Dave Redfield, has seen an aPD]LQJYDULHW\RIWKHZRUOG¶VPDPPDO species but, at that time, had yet to visit Indonesia. So, armed with a target list and a 22 day budget, I sat down and began researching and designing a tour in search of a select suit of mammal species for Dave. Time, terrain, concentration of species and cost were considered. We settled on a few days in mammal hotspots on Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi and finally Bali, in that order. %DOLZDVDOVRFKRVHQDVDJRRGSODFHWRZLQGGRZQDIWHUµURXJKLQJLW¶ though the rest of Indonesia. It is also worth mentioning that Dave, realising that seeing all the ZRUOG¶Vmammals in the wild is an impossible target, does count mammals seen in captivity; the target list of species was thus not what one might have expected (for example, a Red Spiny Mouse was a priority but Babirusa was not).

  • The Lesser Sundas
    Sumba Buttonquail (Craig Robson) THE LESSER SUNDAS 18 AUGUST – 5 SEPTEMBER 2014 LEADER: CRAIG ROBSON Highlights during the tenth Birdquest to this little visited part of Indonesia included Flores Hawk-eagle, Sumba Buttonquail, Timor Black Pigeon, Barred-necked Cuckoo-dove, Flores Green-pigeon, both Flores and Wallace's Scops-owls, Citron- and Yellow-crested Cockatoos, Pink-headed Imperial Pigeon, Wallace’s Hanging-parrot, Olive-shouldered Parrot, Iris Lorikeet, Sumba Hornbill, Cinnamon-banded and White- rumped Kingfishers, Elegant Pitta, Chestnut-capped, Chestnut-backed, Orange-sided and Sunda Thrushes, Black-banded Flycatcher, Flores Monarch, Bare-throated Whistler, Tricoloured Parrotfinch, and Timor Sparrow. Additionally, for the second year running, we observed several tailorbirds along the Sumba coast near Waingapu. They were discovered by us on the 2013 tour, and resemble Olive-backed (which is known to occur only as far as Lombok in Wallacea), but appear to show at least some minor vocal differences. The 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: The Lesser Sundas 2014 www.birdquest-tours.com weather was remarkably sunny, with virtually no rain at all during birding hours, and we recorded a record 276 bird species for this tour. We all assembled at the hotel in Kuta, and began the tour with a visit to the Uluwatu area, at the southern tip of Bali. Our primary target here was the increasingly threatened Black-winged Myna, and it has been rather elusive here during recent visits. This time we were in for a treat however, with an unprecedented pre- roosting flock of at least 20 birds, including at least one juvenile. Terns gathering offshore included several Bridled, and a Brown Booby was seen flying past by some.
