Report for 2011. Vogelwarte 51: 161-178. This report is the seventh one of a series and presents the results of a comprehensive literature screening in search for new bird taxa described in 2011, namely new genera, species and subspecies worldwide. We tracked names of three genera, four species and eight subspecies names new to science which according to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature were cor- rectly described. New genera were erected for species or species groups, respectively, of the Rallidae, Meliphagidae, and Em- berizidae. One of the new species refer to Passeriformes and three to Non-Passeriformes, a shearwater, a hummingbird, and a rail. The distributional areas of the new species often are minute, restricted to remote and difficult to access areas and were hitherto overlooked due to their similarity to closely related species. Due to their limited ranges species new to science are often already endangered when detected. In several cases the populations in question now considered to present a new species were known since long. But only substantial studies of their songs, genetics and/or ecology led to description of new for- merly cryptic species. In a zoogeographic context most of the new taxa, species and subspecies, originate from the Neotropics (4), followed by Australasia, Palaearctic (2 each), North Pacific Islands (1), Indo-Malaya (1) and Afrotropics including Mada- gascar (1).

It was a glorious riot of sound with its own special meaning, for it was a confirmation of the health of a wondrous and unique ecosystem. To my great regret, I arrived in New Zealand in the late twentieth century only to find most of the orchestra seats empty.

  • Madagascar, 2015
    MADAGASCAR RARITIES TOUR Sicklebill Safaris 2015 A very different ambitious and challenging tour, which came about for two reasons, one being Phil wanting to go see Madagascar Pochard and Fossa, and the second being David F. and Simon wanting Helmet Vanga; thus it became feasible to devise an itinerary around most of the major rarity sites including some highly desirable mammals. Tsingy Wood Rail was not accessible at this time, but we included everything else that is not on the regular tour schedules, and divided the tour into sections to meet various time and physical constraints. The weather was decidedly unhelpful, 2015 was a bad El Niño year and we certainly encountered a fair amount of rain, though luckily nothing bad enough to derail us. Air Madagascar was the other great variable, but we actually did quite well and had just a single flight cancelled, from Diego Suarez to Tana, which we were able to work around satisfactorily. Phil went characteristically off-piste just before the tour began, learning of a new site for Aye-aye, so instead of R & R in Tana post Field Guides tour, he diverted down to the Pangalanes about 3 hours from Andasibe and had fantastic looks at 3 of this iconic creature, a great start. Meeting up with Simon and David B. we then packed into the 4WD on Dec 7 and set off to drive some 680 km up-country to Antsohihy, where my dictum of “when in Madagascar it’s always further than you expect and takes longer than you want” certainly held true.
