Biodiversity And Nature Conservation Association Page ABSTRACT The critically endangered Baer’s Pochard ( baeri) was last recorded in Myanmar in 2003. In order to ascertain the current status of the species in Myanmar, a comprehensive survey was conducted at 22 sites, site visited at two sitesand one by getting the information in central Myanmar in January, March and April 2016. Direct observations were used to count the population of waterbird species. Population trend are hard to come by given the species’s similarity to other diving . At least 12 individual of Baer’s Pochard were found in Pyu Lake near Mandalay city. The lake is probably natural and is used for irrigation. Its ecosystem support to both migratory and resident waterbird species as well as benefits to the local people such as food, regular water supplies and protect from extreme weather. The information of Baer’s Pochard in Indawgyi Lake, northern Myanmar and Inle Lake, eastern Myanmar from bird surveyors and birding tour guide were recorded. According to the past records of Baer’s Pochard in Myanmar, this species may well be entering a downward spiral toward global extension. Although no evidence was found of trapping or poisoning of Baer’s Pochard in recent year, hunting is still likely to be significant threats. Human presence may also cause indirect effects through disturbance. A thorough remote sensing analysis is required to identify potential suitable wetland habitats to be targeted by future surveys of Baer’s Pochard. Urgent measures on the potential negative effects on wintering waterfowl must be taken to reduce the pressure of hunting, fishing practices, especially at key wintering sites.

Biodiversity And Nature Conservation Association Page INTRODUCTION Baer’s Pochard (Aythya baeri) has declined drastically in recent years (Wang et al. 2012, Hearn et al. 2013) and the global population is estimated to be 150-700 mature individuals (BirdLife International 2016) or 250-1,000 in total (Wetlands International 2016). In the 1990s, a number of countries in southern , particularly and , supported hundreds of wintering , but in recent years the number of observations has dropped to only a few birds wintering annually.

Myanmar also previously held an important wintering population of Baer’s Pochard, but no detailed information has been available since 2004. This species has been completely protected in national legislation law by Ministry of Forestry since 1994. There are no protected sites especially for Baer’s Pochard but Indawgyi Lake Wildlife Sanctuary, Inle Lake Wildlife Sanctuary and Moeyungyi Wetland Wildlife Sanctuary are recognised as Important Bird & Biodiversity Areas (IBAs) for migratory waterbird species. Previous censuses of waterbirds in Myanmar have located Baer’s Pochard at Moeyungyi Wetland Sanctuary, Indawgyi Lake Wildlife Sanctuary, Inle Lake Wildlife Sanctuary, Kyee ne Inn, Taung Kan-Se daw gyi, Paleik Inn, Myitthar Lake and Nyaungyan Min Hla Lake. Wintering waterbird surveys were conducted at Indawgyi Lake, Inle Lake and Moeyungyi wetland in 2012, 2013 and 2014 by BANCA and FFI. But no more Baer’s Pocahrd were recorded in these areas. Information on waterbird numbers at Indawgyi Lake, Inle Lake and Moeyungyi can be obtained from bird surveyors or birding guides or other biodiversity and environmental conservation associations who routinely visit these sites. Therefore, during this census we focused on sites where it is not possible to get information on the presence of Baer’s Pochard.

In Myanmar, the total area of wetland habitat is gradually reducing due to the extension of farmlands by local people. Furthermore, the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has contaminated many existing wetlands and threatens the existing biologically diverse plant and communities and adds to the difficulty in conserving wetland environments. Illegal fishing by means of electric-shock further enhances the depletion and of aquatic .

The objectives of this project were to: (1) stimulate active public involvement in research and conservation of Baer’s Pochard, (2) document the current abundance and distribution of Baer’s Pochard at wetland areas in central Myanmar and (3) assess the threats facing migratory waterbirds in central Myanmar.

Biodiversity And Nature Conservation Association Page AREAS SURVEYED AND SURVEY TIMING Based on the compilation and review of past published records of Baer's Pochard in Myanmar and current habitat suitability, surveys to assess the status and distribution of Baer’s Pochard were conducted by three time on January, March and April 2016 at the following lakes in central Myanmar: (1) Taung Kan, (2) Taung Tha Man Inn, (3) Yae Myat Kyi Inn, (4) Kaung Hmu Daw Inn, (5) Pyu Lake, (6) Paleik Inn, (7) Lettaung Inn (Banaw village), (8) Inn Ma Lake, (9) Sone Ye Inn, (10) Min Hla Lake, (11) Ku Lae Inn, (12) Maung Ma Gan Inn, (13) Nyaung Yan Minhla Kan, (14) Meikhtila Lake, (15) Kyee Ni Lake, (16) Mae Aung Kan, (17) Myitthar Kan, (18) Yet Kan Sin Inn, (19) Sout Kyi Inn, (20) Ayeyarwaddy River Bank between Sagaing and Manandalay, (21) Inle Lake, (22) San Kar Lake, (23) Heho Dam, (24) Thamine Kan Lake and (25) Yae Aye Gan Lake. (See Fig 1 and Table 1).

SURVEY METHODS Brochure and leaflet about Information of Baer’s Pochard were distributed to BANCA’s members, birding photographer, Birding tour guide, international and national conservation organisation. And it was also distributed to the irrigation department of our study area and communities who are living around our study area. The feedbacks were collectged and prepared the coming field survey route and wetland area in central Myanmar.

Direct observations were used to count the number of waterbirds of each species present at the site. Surveys were conducted by foot or by boat (Figure 2). Information from local guides was collected to assist with locating and accessing sites. All waterbirds were identified to the species level using 60X telescope and 12X or 10x binoculars. The precise geographic coordinates for each location and the parts of it we surveyed were recorded using GPS. For all observation of Baer’s Pochard, additional details were recorded, such as sex and behaviour (foraging, resting and swimming). Human activities, threats to waterbirds and their impacts, and environmental parameters (including water depth and vegetation types) were also noted.

Biodiversity And Nature Conservation Association Page RESULTS

Baer’s Pochard observations A total of twelve adult Baer’s Pochard were recorded at Pyu Lake, Mandalay Region, Myanmar on 28 January 2016. Four Baer’s Pochard were recorded in the same area of Pyu Lake on 3 March 2016. They were:

January survey

1. 12 bird of males in mixed flock with other pochards (Tufted A. fuligula, A. ferina and Ferruginous Pochard A. nyroca). This could be recorded as minimum count of Baer’s Pochard on 28 January 2016 at Pyu Lake. Several birds of Baer’s Pochard were seen by another bird watching group a few days later at the same site.

2. not sure for female because it was difficult to identify between some of and Ferruginous Pochard from far distance.

3. One bird which we consider to have been a possible hybrid between Baer’s Pochard and Ferruginous Pochard. This bird looked like a Ferruginous Pochard but had a heavier bill and a green sheen to the nape that may indicate influence of Baer’s Pochard. It was with other pochard (male Baer’s Pochard, Tufted Duck and Ferruginous Pochard) and Northern Shoveler Anas clypeata.

March survey

1. Four males in a mixed flock with Ferruginous Pochard and Tufted Duck. 2. A possible female was also observed but it was difficult to confirm identification due to similarities with some Tufted Duck and Ferruginous Pochard and the distance of the observation.

April survey

1. No Baer’s Pochard were found. Duck present were Gadwall Anas strepera (74 individuals), Eurasian Wigeon A. penelope (63), Northern Shoveler (26), and Garganey A. querquedula (121).

Information about a three male Baer’s Pochard observation at Inle Lake, Shan State was received from a birding tour group That is why, three days survey conducted in that area in December 2015. But no more Baer’s Pochard were recorded in that area. After conducting

Biodiversity And Nature Conservation Association Page the first survey of January, information on three Baer’s Pochard observed at a lake northwest of Kaung Hein village, near Htamati Wildlife Sanctuary, Upper Sagaing Region, including photographic evidence, was reveived from the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). Some responses were also received from local villagers in central Myanmar about the status of waterfowl and their threats.

Brochure & Leaflet distribution One thousand leaflets and brochures were printed and mailed to project participants in October 2015. In brochure, detail information and idenfication of Baer’s Pochard contained and just only identification of Baer’s Pochard and Ferruginous were included in Leaflet. Four species of duck such as Baer’s Pochard, Ferruginous Pochard, Nothern Shoveler and Mallard that are similar to Baer’s Pochard were included in an identification guide in brochure that compared the characteristics and colours of each species. The location of historical records of Baer’s Pochard in Myanmar, their global flyway, and information on the causes of population decline were also described in this brochure. In the leaflet, how to identify Baer’s Pochard and distinguish it from Ferruginous Pochard, the characteristic of these two species, threats to Baer’s Pochard and help to conserve Baer’s Pochard in Myanmar were described. These were distributed among hunting authorities responsible for control of during the wintering season. Brochures were widely distributed among hunters, local villagers, birding guides, universitites and nature lovers both within the areas close to survey sites and elsewhere in Myanmar.

The brochure and leaflet also contained the contact details (e-mail, website, facebook and telephone number) of the Biodiversity And Nature Conservation Association and the telephone number of the Baer’s Pochard Working Group (Myanmar).

Potential Threats The most serious threats to waterbirds and their habitat (wetlands) observed during the survey were: (1) bird hunting with poisonous food or trapping with nets; (2) electric-shock fishing); (3) trading of species; and (4) land encroachment by paddy fields. At Paleik Inn, some ducks and other birds were caught in nets being used by farmers to prevent them from entering the

Biodiversity And Nature Conservation Association Page farm to feed on rice put out for domesticated ducks. Mixing with domestic ducks also has the risk of catching diseases and spread them to wild populations.

In addition, pollution into lakes from the rearing of domesticated ducks, buffalo and cattle grazing, increased deposition of silt in wetlands and a lack of space for waterbirds to feed and rest (especially diving ducks) are other key threats to waterbirds and their habitat. These are particularly serious in the most developed states. Although potential threats that directly affected the water could not be found at Pyu Lake, washing by human on the bank of Pyu Lake was observed and this may cause contamination of the water leading to impacts on human health and the existing biologically diverse plants and animal species (primarily fishes and birds).

DISCUSSION Baer’s Pochard is a globally threatened species listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List since 2012. It was last recorded in Myanmar at Indawgyi Lake, Inle Lake, Kyee ni Inn, Nyaung Yan Min Hla Lake, Myitthar Lake and Taung Kan Sedaw Gyi lake in 2003. An extensive survey has not been carried out since 2003. Information on waterbird numbers including Baer’s Pochard at Indawgyi Lake and Moeyungyi can be obtained from bird surveyors or birding guides or other conservation associations who routinely visit these sites. Therefore, during this census we focused on sites where it is not possible to get information on the presence of Baer’s Pochard.

The comprehensive survey of Baer’s Pochard was conducted in 22 inland lakes of upper and lower Mandalay city in central Myanmar in January, March and April 2016. Before conducting the comprehensive survey, brochures and leaflets containing information about Baer’s Pochard were distributed to BANCA’s members, birding photographers, birding tour guides, international and national conservation organisation, the irrigation department of our study area, communities living around our study area, and other interested parties.

The feedback received was collected and used to prepare the survey route and sites in central Myanmar. Based on the information received about Baer’s Pochard at Inle Lake, our survey team conducted a three day survey at Inle Lake, but only Ferruginous Pochard were recorded.

Biodiversity And Nature Conservation Association Page Over 5000 individuals of 41 waterbird species were observed, including high numbers of Common Coot (over 3000), Tufted Duck (over 270) and Gadwall (over 180), at Pyu Lake near Mandalay city on January 2016. Among them, this lake supports threatened species such as Baer’s Pochard (at least 12 individuals), Ferruginous Pochard (at least 45) and Falcated Duck (about 4 individuals). During the survey, observations were made from the banks but boats were also used to survey larger waterbodies. Care was taken not to misidentify Baer’s Pochard for the closely related and similar looking Ferruginous Pochard, or possible hybrids of the two species. Some sites, particularly those where were recorded in January, were revisited in March and April to check if local contacts had more discoveries and whether Baer’s Pochard could be still be observed. Apart from the number and species of bird present, human activities, threats and impacts environmental parameters were also noted. (Figure 3)

Figure 3. The number of species and individuals of waterbird species recorded during each survey at Pyu Lake, January to April 2016.

Pyu Lake is is probably natural and is now mainly used for irrigation. It is located at 98 m above sea level, beside the village of Pyu Lake in the south western part of Tada U Township, Mandalay Region. The area of water body is approximately 1,897 ha in the rainy season and 291 ha in the dry season. Fishing is important for the livelihood of the people who live in Pyu

Biodiversity And Nature Conservation Association Page Kan village. They do not use boats for fishing because of traditional cultural and spiritual beliefs. As a result, they are fishing by using car tyres and rolling by hands boat using. Nobody goes down to the lake because of traditional believe on spiritual. The lake is good for other species of conservation concern such as Ferruginous Pochard and Falcated Duck. It could be an ideal site at which to engage local people on education on wetland conservation and management and ecotourism. Central Myanmar is a dry region and consequently small ponds sometimes become totally dry as water is drained for agriculture and other uses. During wetland surveys in the early 2000s, at least 60 Baer’s Pochard were found in Jaunary 2001 in Kyee Ni Lake but the lake was completely dry during this survey. Some lakes, such as Myitthar Lake (Yit Lake), where 90 Baer’s Pochard were observed in 1990, was also dry and no birds could be found during this survey. The discovery of at least 12 Baer’s Pochard at Pyu Lake indicates that there are might still be a good number of Baer’s Pochard wintering in central Myanmar. Pyu Lake is not listed on the Wetland Inventory for Myanmar published in 2004. However, internationally important numbers, i.e. exceeding 1% of the flyway population estimate (Wetlands International 2016), were recorded for Baer’s Pochard (12, 1% = 5). Pyu Lake met the 1% criterion for sites of international importance (Ramsar criterion 6 and IBA criterion A4 (i)) and recording a small community of globally threatened species (Ramsar Criterion 2 and IBA criterion A1).

Myanmar is still an important wintering ground for Baer’s Pochard, but there are lots more things to be done to conserve these birds, including more detailed surveys elsewhere in Myanmar and, for central Myanmar, law enforcement to stop illegal hunting, livelihood projects to support people living by wetlands that are important to Baer’s Pochard, and the establishment of protected areas.
