Catara 2019, a Trip in Andalucia Catara 2019, a trip in Andalucia This was a trip resulting from a slowly developing tradition. Robert and Stefan are two birding pals that for years have spent days, sometimes a few days, a week, ten days in Ethiopia, Kenya, the Netherlands and Spain, birding, enjoying the company of others, food, drinks and ornithological fun. This year we met with three others at Sevilla Airport and after ten days split up there again, with many new birds on our lists. Robert drove, Stefan did the lists, Peter, Ellen and Ab did the photography. Itinerary and Hotels Date Overnight Hotel WE 17th of April Sevilla e.o.

  • From Some Bird Species in Turkey Türkiye’Deki Bazı Kuş Türlerinden Yeni Çiğneyici Bit (Phthiraptera) Türü Kayıtları
    168 Original Investigation / Özgün Araştırma New records of Chewing Lice (Phthiraptera) From Some Bird Species in Turkey Türkiye’deki Bazı Kuş Türlerinden Yeni Çiğneyici Bit (Phthiraptera) Türü Kayıtları Bilal DİK Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Selçuk University, Konya, Turkey ABSTRACT Objective: This study was carried out to detect chewing-lice found on some birds in Turkey. Methods: For this aim, a Eurasian collared dove (Streptopelia decaocto), a budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) and a marbled duck (Mar- maronetta angustirostris) were examined for the louse. Results: Columbicola bacillus (Giebel, 1866) was found on a Eurasian collared dove (Streptopelia decaocto), Afrimenopon waar (Eichler, 1947) on a budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) and Anatoecus icterodes (Nitzsch, 1818) on a marbled duck (Marmaronetta angustirostris). Conclusion: All three louse species were recorded for the fi rst time in Turkey. Anatoecus icterodes was reported for the fi rst time from marbled duck in the worldwide. Therefore, marbled duck is a new host for Anatoecus icterodes. (Turkiye Parazitol Derg 2010; 34: 168-73) Key Words: Phthiraptera, Columbicola columbae, Afrimenopon waar, Anatoecus icterodes, Turkey Received: 26.05.2010 Accepted: 17.08.2010 ÖZET Amaç: Bu araştırma bazı kuşlarda bulunan bit türlerini belirlemek için yapılmıştır. Yöntemler: Bu amaçla bir adet Kumru (Streptopelia decaocto), bir adet Muhabbet Kuşu (Melopsittacus undulatus) ve bir adet Yaz Ördeği (Marmaronetta angustirostris) bit yönünden incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Kumru (Streptopelia decaocto)’da Columbicola bacillus (Giebel, 1866), Muhabbet Kuşu (Melopsittacus undulatus)’nda Afrimeno- pon waar (Eichler, 1947) Yaz Ördeği (Marmaronetta angustirostris)’nde ise Anatoecus icterodes (Nitzsch, 1818)’e rastlanmıştır. Sonuç: Bu türlerin üçü de Türkiye’den ilk kez bildirilmiş, Anatoecus icterodes ise yaz ördeğinden dünyada ilk kez rapor edilmiştir.

  • The Birds of Okhla Barrage Bird Sanctuary, Delhi, India
    FORKTAIL 19 (2003): 39-50 The birds of Okhla barrage bird sanctuary, Delhi, India ABDUL JAMIL URFI Okhla barrage bird sanctuary, on the river Yamuna in south Delhi, is an important site for breeding and wintering waterbirds, with 14,000–20,000 waterbirds recorded in winter. The dominant feature of the site is a large lake formed after the creation of a barrage on the river in 1986. Historical records, records resulting from fieldwork since 1989, and other recent records have been combined to produce a list of 302 species for the site and its immediate area. Species recorded since 1992 include three Vulnerable species (Baer’s Pochard Aythya baeri, Indian Skimmer Rynchops albicollis and Bristled Grassbird Chaetornis striatus) and six Near Threatened species (Ferruginous Pochard Aythya nyroca, Black-bellied Tern Sterna acuticauda, Darter Anhinga melanogaster, Black-headed Ibis Threskiornis melanocephalus, Painted Stork Mycteria leucocephala and Black-necked Stork Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus). The sanctuary is being encroached upon, and isolated by, surrounding development. INTRODUCTION The Okhla barrage bird sanctuary in Delhi is a haven for waterbirds (Singh 1983, Urfi 1993a, b, 1995). In 1990, an area of c.3.5 km2 on the river Yamuna in Delhi was notified as a bird sanctuary by the Uttar Pradesh government under the Wildlife Protection Act of India. The site is located at the point where the river leaves the territory of Delhi and enters the neighbouring state of Uttar Pradesh (Fig. 1). The most prominent feature of the sanctuary is the large lake created by damming the river, which lies sandwiched between Okhla village towards the west and Gautambudh Nagar towards the east.

  • 1 Birder in a Camper
    Part Four - Birder in a Camper van - James Dee fb.com/campervanbirder Birder in a camper van - European Tour – Part Four France 3 On the 11th November I took a ferry back to France. The only sighting of interest from the ferry was a single Great Skua. Shooting season was well underway in France so some sites where I had previously seen numerous species had turned up very little to see apart from dead ducks. The most notable sighting on the way south was a Black Woodpecker that flew across the road in front of me about 22km North of Angoulême. An unexpected van tick! On the 14th November, I arrived at Reserve Ornithologique du Teich thirty kilometres SW of Bordeaux, the best spots I’ve visited in France to date. Over a seven and a half hour period I managed to record 68 species. The highlights were a Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, 12 Night Herons, an Osprey, 7 Kingfisher, 3 Little Stint, 2 Firecrest, 10 Water Rail, 2000 Brent Geese, 13 Great White Egret, 7 migrating Redwing, and a Tawny Owl hooting as early as 1700. Coypu At high tide, 82 Spoonbill, 1200 Curlews, 200 Black-tailed Godwit and 600 Dunlin came off the mudflats to roost in front of hide 16. 1 Part Four - Birder in a Camper van - James Dee fb.com/campervanbirder Spoonbills Over the next ten days I stayed in a house near Viella, Occitanie, looking after some cats and dogs. The most noteworthy sighting during the stay was a ringtail Hen Harrier weaving through the landscape at dusk one evening.
