ABSTRACT: We discuss the choice of habitats for roosting and breeding by the Pygmy Nightjar (Nyctipolus hirundinaceus), a Brazilian endemic from the eastern part of the country. We observed that the choice of nesting and roosting sites of this nightjar is closely connected to open gravelly and stony areas (lajeiros) in the Caatinga and to rocky outcrops (pedras) in the Atlantic Forest, which allows us to conclude that the Pygmy Nightjar is a rupicolous nightjar, preferring rocky substrates for roosting and breeding.

  • Nest-Site Provision Experiment for Long-Eared Owls to Attempt To
    Notes Nest-site provision experiment for Long-eared Owls To attempt to improve the breeding success of Long-eared Owls Asio otus, artificial nest- sites were provided in an area where the owls were known to overwinter. The nests provided consisted of two types: old potato or apple-picker baskets made of willow, with the handles removed, and baskets of a similar shape made of wire-netting. Three willow baskets and six wire baskets were sited in November 1979, in a small Cambridgeshire wood of mixed deciduous trees, comprising mainly willow Salix, silver birch Betula, oak Quercus and hawthorn Crataegus. All the baskets were fixed to suitable trees at a height of approximately 5 m, and then each lined with sticks of various lengths and thicknesses to provide a firm base. 140. Long-eared Owl Asio otus on nest in willow basket provided as artificial nest-site, Cambridgeshire, May 1981 (D.J. Gamer) continued... 376 Notes 377 During the first year, 1980, none of the baskets was used, but in 1981 one of the willow baskets was occupied by a pair of Long-eared Owls (plate 140), which had a clutch of three eggs, of which two hatched, and two young fledged. Current literature states that Long-eared Owls nest in the same area each year, but not in the same nest. This is probably due to the fact that natural sites (e.g. old birds' nests and squirrels' dreys) are destroyed over winter and do not last for a further year. With this experiment using these more substantial nests, it is hoped that the same site will be used in succeeding years.

  • 45) Morocco and Western Sahara – April 2019
    MOROCCO AND WESTERN SAHARA Date - April 2019 Duration - 22 Days Destinations Casablanca - El Jadida - Agadir - Souss-Massa National Park - Arrouais Reserve - Rokein Reserve - Tafraoute - Tizi n’ Test - Ouirgane - Imlil - Toubkal National Park - Ouzoud Falls - Ifrane National Park - Tazekka National Park - Dakhla - Aousserd Trip Overview - Morocco Having come to rely somewhat on his superb spotlighting skills, I decided that it made sense to schedule my return to Morocco for the Easter holiday period, when James would be home from university and available to travel with me once again. Although I appreciate his excellent company even more than his invaluable assistance on what can be fairly demanding tours, neither are luxuries that I will be able to rely upon for a great deal longer, as his studies will require far more of his time during his second year and of course there are now also more personal demands on any remaining free time. We will be travelling to the Congo, both the Republic and Democratic Republic, together in July 2019 to research a great apes tour that I have been planning for some time, but this will probably be our last major trip together for the foreseeable future. If it is, western gorillas and bonobos will be an appropriately spectacular way to conclude what, from my perspective at least, has been an incredibly rewarding experience and I have to say that I am glad that our remarkable journey did not come to an end in Morocco. That is not to suggest that Morocco is not a beautiful country and that our tour was unsuccessful, as neither are the case and we both thoroughly enjoyed exploring what is undoubtedly an alluring and historic destination.

  • The Value of Monitoring Wildlife Roadkill
    European Journal of Wildlife Research (2020) 66:18 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10344-019-1357-4 REVIEW The value of monitoring wildlife roadkill Amy L. W. Schwartz1 & Fraser M. Shilling2 & Sarah E. Perkins1 Received: 22 November 2018 /Revised: 20 December 2019 /Accepted: 30 December 2019 # The Author(s) 2020 Abstract The number of wildlife-vehicle collisions has an obvious value in estimating the direct effects of roads on wildlife, i.e. mortality due to vehicle collisions. Given the nature of the data—species identification and location—there is, however, much wider ecological knowledge that can be gained by monitoring wildlife roadkill. Here, we review the added value and opportunities provided by these data, through a series of case studies where such data have been instrumental in contributing to the advance- ment of knowledge in species distributions, population dynamics, and animal behaviour, as well as informing us about health of the species and of the environment. We propose that consistently, systematically, and extensively monitoring roadkill facilitates five critical areas of ecological study: (1) monitoring of roadkill numbers, (2) monitoring of population trends, (3) mapping of native and invasive species distributions, (4) animal behaviour, and (5) monitoring of contaminants and disease. The collection of such data also offers a valuable opportunity for members of the public to be directly involved in scientific data collection and research (citizen science). Through continuing to monitor wildlife roadkill, we can expand our knowledge across a wide range of ecological research areas, as well as facilitating investigations that aim to reduce both the direct and indirect effects of roads on wildlife populations.

    Ardeola 68(1), 2021, 241-264 SECCIÓN BIBLIOGRÁFICA 243 van den Berg, A. B. y The Sound Approach. 2020. Morocco: sharing the birds. A Sound Approach guide to birds of the Maghreb. Dorset. The Sound Approach. 308 pp. ISBN 978-90-810933-9-2. Years pass, and the works of The Sound Approach evolve. For the first time they publish a book with the usual format of their books, very rectangular, horizontally, but this time without the DVDs that were hooked inside the covers that never fully held them with use, so that the discs ended up coming off and more than once, when one took the book off the shelf, they rolled and ended up on the floor. Now they accompany the work with a bookmark in the form of a card, from which we extract a memory stick that contains all the recordings that are given with the work. Much more practical and elegant. The collection of sound recordings that accompany the book is of high quality and very extensive. The memory stick contains various folders, where we can find files to listen to on the mobile or on the computer, in high quality stereo, which includes both the numerous files of each species treated as a chapter in the work, as well as those of very characteristic species of the Maghreb that have not had their specific chapter, for example the Atlas Flycatcher Ficedula speculigera, to mention one of the most iconic. For each species we can listen to different recordings. Some of them are especially valuable: the original recording of the Slender-billed Curlew Numenius tenuirostris by Adam Gretton at Merja Zerga in 1990, of minimal quality, is included, plus a reconstruction of it digitally produced by Magnus Robb.

  • Senegal Tailor-Made Cederlund 13Th to 25Th January 2020 (13 Days) Trip Report
    Senegal Tailor-made Cederlund 13th to 25th January 2020 (13 days) Trip Report Mali Firefinch by David Hoddinott Trip Report compiled by Tour Leader: David Hoddinott Trip Report – RBL Senegal – Tailor-made Cederlund 2020 2 Tour Summary After arrival near Dakar, we all met up at the airport and transferred to our comfortable guest house nearby. Over a cold beer and delicious fish and chips dinner, we chatted about our exciting upcoming adventure. We then settled down for a good night’s sleep. Early the following morning we enjoyed superb views of Yellow-crowned Gonolek before enjoying breakfast with a superb sea view, whilst our driver, Abdulai sorted out our car battery. Thereafter we continued north towards Richard Toll. En route, we made several stops in the productive Acacia woodland. Here we found a superb selection of birds including Great Spotted Cuckoo, African Collared Dove, Black-headed Lapwing, Temminck’s Courser, Rüppell’s, Griffon and Lappet-faced Vulture, male Montagu’s Harrier, our first of many Western Red-billed Hornbill, Purple Roller, Striped Kingfisher, Piapiac, Western Bonelli’s and Cricket Warbler by David Hoddinott Subalpine Warbler, Chestnut-bellied Starling, White-billed Buffalo Weaver, Speckle-fronted Weaver, Cut-throat Finch, African Silverbill and Tree Pipit. A further stop at wetlands around St. Louis saw us enjoying several waterbirds including Pied Avocet, Dunlin, Slender-billed and Lesser Black-backed Gull, Gull-billed, Caspian and Royal Tern, Eurasian Spoonbill and Western Reef Heron. We then continued to Richard Toll for a two-night stay. Our comfortable hotel overlooked the mighty Senegal River with views into neighbouring Mauritania.
