  • Thailand Highlights 14Th to 26Th November 2019 (13 Days)
    Thailand Highlights 14th to 26th November 2019 (13 days) Trip Report Siamese Fireback by Forrest Rowland Trip report compiled by Tour Leader: Forrest Rowland Trip Report – RBL Thailand - Highlights 2019 2 Tour Summary Thailand has been known as a top tourist destination for quite some time. Foreigners and Ex-pats flock there for the beautiful scenery, great infrastructure, and delicious cuisine among other cultural aspects. For birders, it has recently caught up to big names like Borneo and Malaysia, in terms of respect for the avian delights it holds for visitors. Our twelve-day Highlights Tour to Thailand set out to sample a bit of the best of every major habitat type in the country, with a slight focus on the lush montane forests that hold most of the country’s specialty bird species. The tour began in Bangkok, a bustling metropolis of winding narrow roads, flyovers, towering apartment buildings, and seemingly endless people. Despite the density and throng of humanity, many of the participants on the tour were able to enjoy a Crested Goshawk flight by Forrest Rowland lovely day’s visit to the Grand Palace and historic center of Bangkok, including a fun boat ride passing by several temples. A few early arrivals also had time to bird some of the urban park settings, even picking up a species or two we did not see on the Main Tour. For most, the tour began in earnest on November 15th, with our day tour of the salt pans, mudflats, wetlands, and mangroves of the famed Pak Thale Shore bird Project, and Laem Phak Bia mangroves.

  • K Here for the Full Trip Report
    Capped Langur , Small Pratincole , WhiteWhite----wingedwinged Ducks , Gaur , Sultan Tit , Great Hornbill andand Pied Falconet ; Nameri Here a couple of ducks had now turned up , and while we were watching them , a Gaur suddenly came out of the forest for a drink and some fresh grass from the meadow surrounding the lake. We also saw several Wild Boars and a small group of Northern Red Muntjacs here , not to mention a Great Hornbill , Sultan Tits and a small party of Scarlet Minivets. No doubt this was a fantastic place , and there is no telling what could have been seen if more time had been spent here. Back in the camp we enjoyed yet another good meal , before driving a bit up river where this afternoons boat ride was to begin. We didn’t really see all that many birds while rafting on the river , but even so it was a nice experience to watch the beautiful landscape pass by in a leisurely pace – not exactly white water rafting this! Of course , there were a few avian highlights as well , including lots of Small Pratincoles , a couple of Crested Kingfisher and some nice River Lapwings , but we somehow managed to dip out on Ibisbill. We walked back to the camp as the sun was setting , but didn’t add anything new to our list , though a couple of Brown Hawk Owls put on quite a show for Erling , who was the first one to get back. We tried again with some spotlighting in the evening , and heard a calling Oriental Scops Owl not to far from the road but still impossible to see.

  • OBC Yunnan, China, 6-28 Nov 2010
    Yunnan, China, with OBC: Nov 2010. An at-a-glance list of 387 species of birds & seven species of mammals recorded. By Jesper Hornskov ® ***this draft 30 Aug 2012*** ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Please note that the following list is best considered a work in progress. It should not be quoted without consulting the author. Based mostly on my own field notes, this brief write-up covers the birds & mammals noted by G Bowen, P Duffus, R Robinson, T Townshend & myself in Yunnan over 7-27 November 2010. We recorded 387 species. An additional 45 (including some Palearctic Megas) were logged on pre- & post-trip excursions near Beijing on 6th & 29th – for want of what else to do with them, and to make it easier for future travellers to decide if it might be worth their while to extend their visit by a day or two, these are included in the list. Around Beijing the weather was as expected fine both before and after the trip - unfortunately a flight delay caused PD to miss the highly rewarding excursion to Wild Duck Lake on 6th (but GB & I were happy to welcome M Moeller on board for the day), and regrettably neither GB, RR nor TT were able to stay on for an extra day so on 29th it was only PD & myself who made the most of a fine, on-the-threshold-of-winter day at Botanical Gardens. In Yunnan the weather lived up to expectations with no more than 15 minutes of rain in three weeks. We 'did' our main target area, mostly forested habitats at c300-2,500 masl W of the Salween, under mostly magnificently blue skies before bagging the hoped-for Rufous-tailed Moupinia Moupinia poecilotis & Yunnan Nuthatch Sitta yunnanensis without breaking into a run at Lijiang.

  • Eastern China
    The magnificent Reeves's Pheasant was one of the many specialties seen on this tour (Brendan Ryan). EASTERN CHINA 3 – 27 MAY 2017 LEADER: HANNU JÄNNES Birdquest’s Eastern China tour, an epic 25 day journey across much of eastern China, focusses on an array of rare Chinese endemics and migrants, and this year’s tour once again proved a great success. The focus of the first part of the tour is to achieve good views of rarities like Spoon-billed Sandpiper, the critically endangered Blue-crowned (Courtois’s) Laughingthrush, the superb Cabot’s Tragopan and Elliot’s Pheasant and the ultra-rare Chinese Crested Tern. This was successfully achieved alongside a plethora of other much sought after species including White-faced Plover, Great Knot, stunning Saunders’s Gulls, Reed Parrotbill, eastern migrants, including Pechora Pipit, Japanese Robin, Japanese Paradise, Yellow-rumped, Narcissus and Mugimaki Flycatchers, and forest species like Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher, White-necklaced Partridge, Silver Pheasant, Buffy and Moustached Laughingthrushes, Short-tailed Parrotbill, Fork-tailed Sunbird and the delightful Pied Falconet. Quite a haul! 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Eastern China 2017 www.birdquest-tours.com Crested Ibis at Dongzhai Nature Reserve (Brendan Ryan). The second part of the tour, the ‘Northeast Extension’, visited a series of sites for various other Chinese specialities. Beginning in Wuhan, we bagged the amazing Reeves’s Pheasant and Crested Ibis, as well as stunners that included Fairy Pitta and Chestnut-winged Cuckoo. We then moved on to Jiaocheng for the fabulous Brown Eared Pheasants before flying on to Beijing, where the mountains of the nearby Hebei province yielded the endemic Chinese Beautiful Rosefinch, Chinese Nuthatch, Green-backed and Zappey’s Flycatchers and the rare Grey-sided Thrush.

  • Systematic Notes on Asian Birds. 49 a Preliminary Review of the Aegithalidae, Remizidae and Paridae1
    Systematic notes on Asian birds. 49 A preliminary review of the Aegithalidae, Remizidae and Paridae1 S. Eck † & J. Martens Eck, S. & J. Martens. Systematic notes on Asian birds. 49. A preliminary review of the Aegithalidae, Remi- zidae and Paridae. Zool. Med. Leiden 80-5 (1), 21.xii.2006: 1-63, fi gs. 1-6, Plates I-III.— ISSN 0024-0672. Siegfried Eck †, formerly Staatliche Sammlungen für Naturkunde Dresden, Museum für Tierkunde, Königsbrücker Landstrasse 159, D-01109 Dresden, Germany. Jochen Martens, Institut für Zoologie, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität, D-55099 Mainz, Germany (e-mail: martens@uni-mainz.de). Key words: Paridae; Aegithalidae; Remizidae; species limits; systematics; taxonomy; eastern Palaearctic region; Indo-Malayan region; morphology; bioacoustics; molecular genetics; secondary contacts; hy- bridisation; introgression. Proposed recent taxonomic changes in Paridae, Aegithalidae, and Remizidae are reviewed within the geographic scope of this series and their reliability is discussed in terms of the Biological Species Concept with respect to secondary contacts, hybridization, introgression, bioacoustics, and molecular genetics. Certain previously unpublished data are added to support the taxonomic decisions. Introduction This review benefi ts from the excellent treatment of these three passerine families in the monograph by Harrap (1996) 2, preceded by detailed work by Vaurie (1957a, b) on the Palearctic species set upon which Snow (1967) based his treatment for Peters’s Checklist of the Birds of the World. Only after the publication of Harrap (op. cit.) has molecular ge- netics begun to furnish information on parid systematics and taxonomy. This has not only given insights into population structure and population genetics of various taxa, but also helped understanding of species evolution and species limits.
