Oromia is the largest National Regional State of Ethiopia. Here we present the first comprehensive checklist of its birds. A total of 804 bird species has been recorded, 601 of them confirmed (443) or assumed (158) to be breeding birds. At least 561 are all-year residents (and 31 more potentially so), at least 73 are Afrotropical migrants and visitors (and 44 more potentially so), and 184 are Palaearctic migrants and visitors (and eight more potentially so). Three species are endemic to Oromia, 18 to Ethiopia and 43 to the Horn of Africa. 170 Oromia bird species are biome restricted: 57 to the Afrotropical Highlands biome, 95 to the Somali-Masai biome, and 18 to the Sudan-Guinea Savanna biome. -

Black Bee-eater 2. Standard-winged Nightjar 3. Northern Carmine Bee-eater 4. Blue-headed Bee-eater 5. African Piculet 6. Great Blue Turaco 7. Little Bee-eater 8. African Blue Flycatcher 9. Chocolate-backed Kingfisher 10. Beautiful Sunbird RBT Ghana Trip Report February 2007 2 Tour Summary This classic tour combining the best rainforest sites, national parks and seldom explored northern regions gave us an incredible overview of the excellent birding that Ghana has to offer. This trip was highly successful, we located nearly 400 species of birds including many of the Upper Guinea endemics and West Africa specialties, and together with a great group of people, we enjoyed a brilliant African birding adventure. After spending a night in Accra our first morning birding was taken at the nearby Shai Hills, a conservancy that is used mainly for scientific studies into all aspects of wildlife. These woodland and grassland habitats were productive and we easily got to grips with a number of widespread species as well as a few specials that included the noisy Stone Partridge, Rose-ringed Parakeet, Senegal Parrot, Guinea Turaco, Swallow-tailed Bee-eater, Vieillot’s and Double- toothed Barbet, Gray Woodpecker, Yellow-throated Greenbul, Melodious Warbler, Snowy-crowned Robin-Chat, Blackcap Babbler, Yellow-billed Shrike, Common Gonolek, White Helmetshrike and Piapiac. Towards midday we made our way to the Volta River where our main target, the White-throated Blue Swallow showed well. -
Buckbird Journeys
BUCKBIRD JOURNEYS YEMEN and SOCOTRA Tuesday 8 – Sunday 18 November 2007 Participants Louise Augustine (LA), Hugh Buck (HB), David Daniels (DD), David Hoddinott (DH), Pearl Jordan (PJ), Werner Suter (WS), David Bradford (DB – Socotra only) This trip was designed to try for all the Southwest Arabia and Socotra endemics in a relatively brief time scale. It also represented an opportunity for regional listers to add an enticing selection of “African” species only entering Asia in Southwest Arabia and a selection of “Asian” species found in Africa rarely outside of Socotra. That the trip was successful on all counts is a tribute to Yousuf Mohageb (YM) of Arabian Eco- Tours in Sana’a who designed, with HB, the itinerary, accompanied us throughout Yemen and knew all the best birding spots, Ali his redoubtable co-driver and Ahmed Saeid Suliman (AS) on Socotra whose knowledge and love of all things on his island home is second to none. Our multinational group (three Americans, two Brits, a South African and a Swiss) kept to the pace admirably, provided exceptional spotting skills and, in WS, some wonderful photographic documentation and memories. Day by Day Thursday 8 November HB, DD and DH meet up at Dubai International Airport for the short Emirates Airlines flight to Sana’a where they are met by YM, Ali in traditional Yemeni costume and LA and PJ who have arrived the previous evening. Under the high bright sun, which will be the norm for the next 10 days, we traverse Sana’a’s sprawling outskirts to the Funduk Arabia Felix, an interesting hotel made up a several old traditional houses right at the edge of the historic and UNESCO rated old town. -

Song of the Dark-throated Thrush Vladimir Yu.Arkhipov, Michael G.Wilson and Lars Svensson 49. 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. The two races interbreed observations of passage ruficollis farther east in where they overlap in the east and southeast of the country showed very little evidence of the range (Clement & Hathway 2000), with hybridisation (Mauersberger 1980). Indeed, intermediates reported from the Altai, western nominate ruficollis and atrogularis were Sayan, and upper Lena and upper Nizhnyaya regarded by Stepanyan (1983, 1990) as separate Tunguska rivers (Dement’ev & Gladkov 1954). species, and this view was shared by others, The situation is by no means clear-cut, including Evans (1996) ‘based primarily on however: in, for example, the Altai (Russia), plumage and ecological differences’, but also © British Birds 96 • February 2003 • 79-83 79 Song of the Dark-throated Thrush Stephan Ernst 50. -
AERC Wplist July 2015
AERC Western Palearctic list, July 2015 About the list: 1) The limits of the Western Palearctic region follow for convenience the limits defined in the “Birds of the Western Palearctic” (BWP) series (Oxford University Press). 2) The AERC WP list follows the systematics of Voous (1973; 1977a; 1977b) modified by the changes listed in the AERC TAC systematic recommendations published online on the AERC web site. For species not in Voous (a few introduced or accidental species) the default systematics is the IOC world bird list. 3) Only species either admitted into an "official" national list (for countries with a national avifaunistic commission or national rarities committee) or whose occurrence in the WP has been published in detail (description or photo and circumstances allowing review of the evidence, usually in a journal) have been admitted on the list. Category D species have not been admitted. 4) The information in the "remarks" column is by no mean exhaustive. It is aimed at providing some supporting information for the species whose status on the WP list is less well known than average. This is obviously a subjective criterion.

The Birds of the Highlands of South-West Saudi Arabia and Adjacent Parts of the Tihama: July 2010 (Abba Survey 42)
THE BIRDS OF THE HIGHLANDS OF SOUTH-WEST SAUDI ARABIA AND ADJACENT PARTS OF THE TIHAMA: JULY 2010 (ABBA SURVEY 42) by Michael C. Jennings, Amar R. H. Al-Momen and Jabr S. Y. Haresi December 2010 THE BIRDS OF THE HIGHLANDS OF SOUTH-WEST SAUDI ARABIA AND ADJACENT PARTS OF THE TIHAMA: JULY 2010 (ABBA SURVEY 42) by Michael C. Jennings1, Amar R. H. Al-Momen2 and Jabr S. Y. Haresi2 December 2010 SUMMARY The objective of the survey was to compare habitats and bird life in the Asir region, particularly Jebal Souda and the Raydah escarpment protected area of the Saudi Wildlife Commission, and adjacent regions of the tihama, with those observed in July 1987 (Jennings, et al., 1988). The two surveys were approximately the same length and equal amounts of time were spent in the highlands and on the tihama. A number of walked censuses were carried out during 2010 on Jebal Souda, using the same methodology as walked censuses in 1987, and the results are compared. Broadly speaking the comparison of censuses revealed that in 2010 there were less birds and reduced diversity on the Jebal Souda plateau, compared to 1987. However in the Raydah reserve the estimates of breeding bird populations compiled in the mid 1990s was little changed as far as could be assessed in 2010. The highland region of south-west Saudi Arabia, especially Jebal Souda, has been much developed since the 1987 survey and is now an important internal recreation and resort area. This has lead to a reduction in the region’s importance for terraced agriculture.
