Male Dark-throated Thrush Turdus ruficollis atrogularis, Lake Ysyk-Köl, Kyrgyzstan, February 2002. Jürgen Steudtner ABSTRACT The song of the Dark-throated Thrush Turdus ruficollis of the race atrogularis (‘Black-throated Thrush’) is described from one of the first fully authenticated tape-recordings of this vocalisation, and is shown to be distinctly different from that of the race ruficollis (‘Red-throated Thrush’). Further studies of voice, mate selection, and breeding biology in general are needed for a full clarification of Dark-throated Thrush taxonomy. he Dark-throated Thrush Turdus rufi- ruficollis and atrogularis were found to be sepa- collis is considered by most recent rated by habitat, and no mixed pairs or hybrids Tauthors (e.g. Portenko 1981; Cramp were recorded (Stakheev 1979; Ernst 1992); in 1988; Glutz & Bauer 1988; Clement & Hathway Mongolia, hybridisation was reported to occur 2000) to be polytypic, comprising the red- in the northwest (Mongolian Altai and Great throated nominate race ruficollis and the black- Lakes Depression) by Fomin & Bold (1991), but throated atrogularis.

  • Beidaihe^ China: East Asian Hotspot Paul I
    Beidaihe^ China: East Asian hotspot Paul I. Holt, Graham P. Catley and David Tipling China has come a long way since 1958 when 'Sparrows [probably meaning any passerine], rats, bugs and flies' were proscribed as pests and a war declared on them. The extermination of a reputed 800,000 birds over three days in Beijing alone was apparently then followed by a plague of insects (Boswall 1986). After years of isolation and intellectual stagnation during the Cultural Revolution, China opened its doors to organised foreign tour groups in the late 1970s and to individual travellers from 1979 onwards. Whilst these initial 'pion­ eering' travellers included only a handful of birdwatchers, news of the country's ornithological riches soon spread and others were quick to follow. With a national avifauna in excess of 1,200 species, the People's Republic offers vast scope for study. Many of the species are endemic or nearly so, a majority are poorly known and a few possess an almost mythical draw for European birders. Sadly, all too many of the endemic forms are either rare or endangered. Initially, most of the recent visits by birders were via Hong Kong, and concentrated on China's mountainous southern and western regions. Inevitably, however, attention has shifted towards the coastal migration sites. Migration at one such, Beidaihe in Hebei Province, in Northeast China, had been studied and documented by a Danish scientist during the Second World War (Hemmingsen 1951; Hemmingsen & Guildal 1968). It became the focus of renewed interest after a 1985 Cambridge University expedition (Williams et al.

The impressively marked bird had been collected on the Marquesas Islands – a remote spot of the Pacific Ocean that would become part of French Polynesia. The members of the Society present at that meeting would have undoubtedly been impressed by yet another of the rare, exotic gems that Gould had a habit of pulling out of his seemingly bottomless hat. Next up in this Victorian frontiers-of-ornithology ‘show and tell’ was Hugh Edwin Strickland (1811-53). The birds he spoke about2 were quite a bit closer to home, although many were every bit as exotic as Gould’s Polynesian parrot. Strickland, instead of sourcing his specimens from the far corners of the Earth, had simply popped across London to Hyde Park Corner with his note book. There, causing quite a stir, was an exhibition of "Ten Thousand Chinese Things", displayed in a purpose-built “summer house” whose design was, according to The Illustrated London News3, “usual in the gardens of the wealthy, in the southern provinces of 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.

Sylvia 46: 149–156. Five 19th­century records of Turdus pallidus and Turdus obscurus from the Czech Republic were reported in literature. My revision of the published data, archival documents and museum specimens showed that only two specimens reported by Palliardi (1852), i.e. those collected by Wenzel Koch at Ehmet in westernmost Bohemia, probably during 1845–1851, can be accepted as probable records of Turdus obscurus. All other records (Amerling 1852, Pražák 1893) are invalid for various reasons. V literatuře je citováno pět historických nálezů drozdů Turdus pallidus a Turdus obscurus z České republiky, všechny z 19. století. Revize publikovaných údajů, archivních dokumentů a muzejních exemplářů ukázala, že za pravděpodobný historický doklad druhu Turdus obscurus z České Republiky lze považovat pouze dva jedince zaznamenané Palliardim (1852), tedy jedince ulove- né Wenzelem Kochem u vsi Ehmet v západních Čechách, pravděpodobně v letech 1845–1851.

  • A Sight Record of Eyebrowed Thrush (Turdus Obscurus) in British Columbia
    A Sight Record of Eyebrowed Thrush (Turdus obscurus) in British Columbia. By Rick Toochin, Peter Hamel and Margo Hearne. Submitted: April 15, 2018. Introduction and Distribution The Eye-browed Thrush (Turdus obscurus) is a highly migratory, but secretive passerine that breeds in dark taiga in lowlands and montane forests in north-east Asia from the Kamchatka Peninsula, northern end of Sakhalin Island, on the Kuril Islands, Ussuriland, northern China, northern Mongolia, and west to central Siberia (Hamilton et al. 2007, Brazil 2009). Breeding in Japan is suspected but unproven (Brazil 1991). The Eye-browed Thrush is a common migrant throughout Japan, Korea, and Taiwan (Brazil 2009). This species winters in mature forests and evergreen forests from Taiwan, southeastern China, to Northeastern India, south through parts of Burma, into Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, into western parts of Indonesia, Sarawak, Philippines, and in the eastern Indian Ocean on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (Clements 2000, Brazil 2009). In North America, the region that the Eye-browed Thrush occurs regularly is in Alaska where it is a rare spring and casual fall migrant in the Western and Central Aleutian Islands (West 2008). This species is also a casual vagrant migrant in the spring and fall at St. Paul Island, St. Matthew, and St. Lawrence Islands (West 2008). Elsewhere in the state the Eye-browed Thrush is an accidental spring migrant vagrant to Wales, Nunivak Island, and northern Alaska at Barrow (West 2008). The best places to find this species in the state are on Shemya Island or Adak Island or at Gambel in the fall (West 2008).
