    Species List

    Dec. 11, 2013 – Jan. 01, 2014 Thailand (Central and Northern) Species Trip List Compiled by Carlos Sanchez (HO)= Distinctive enough to be counted as heard only Summary: After having traveled through much of the tropical Americas, I really wanted to begin exploring a new region of the world. Thailand instantly came to mind as a great entry point into the vast and diverse continent of Asia, home to some of the world’s most spectacular birds from giant hornbills to ornate pheasants to garrulous laughingthrushes and dazzling pittas. I took a little over three weeks to explore the central and northern parts of this spectacular country: the tropical rainforests of Kaeng Krachen, the saltpans of Pak Thale and the montane Himalayan foothill forests near Chiang Mai. I left absolutely dazzled by what I saw. Few words can describe the joy of having your first Great Hornbill, the size of a swan, plane overhead; the thousands of shorebirds in the saltpans of Pak Thale, where I saw critically endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper; the tear-jerking surprise of having an Eared Pitta come to bathe at a forest pool in the late afternoon, surrounded by tail- quivering Siberian Blue Robins; or the fun of spending my birthday at Doi Lang, seeing Ultramarine Flycatcher, Spot-breasted Parrotbill, Fire-tailed Sunbird and more among a 100 or so species. Overall, I recorded over 430 species over the course of three weeks which is conservative relative to what is possible. Thailand was more than a birding experience for me. It was the Buddhist gong that would resonate through the villages in the early morning, the fresh and delightful cuisine produced out of a simple wok, the farmers faithfully tending to their rice paddies and the amusing frost chasers at the top of Doi Inthanon at dawn.

    Thailand Highlights 14Th to 26Th November 2019 (13 Days)

    Thailand Highlights 14th to 26th November 2019 (13 days) Trip Report Siamese Fireback by Forrest Rowland Trip report compiled by Tour Leader: Forrest Rowland Trip Report – RBL Thailand - Highlights 2019 2 Tour Summary Thailand has been known as a top tourist destination for quite some time. Foreigners and Ex-pats flock there for the beautiful scenery, great infrastructure, and delicious cuisine among other cultural aspects. For birders, it has recently caught up to big names like Borneo and Malaysia, in terms of respect for the avian delights it holds for visitors. Our twelve-day Highlights Tour to Thailand set out to sample a bit of the best of every major habitat type in the country, with a slight focus on the lush montane forests that hold most of the country’s specialty bird species. The tour began in Bangkok, a bustling metropolis of winding narrow roads, flyovers, towering apartment buildings, and seemingly endless people. Despite the density and throng of humanity, many of the participants on the tour were able to enjoy a Crested Goshawk flight by Forrest Rowland lovely day’s visit to the Grand Palace and historic center of Bangkok, including a fun boat ride passing by several temples. A few early arrivals also had time to bird some of the urban park settings, even picking up a species or two we did not see on the Main Tour. For most, the tour began in earnest on November 15th, with our day tour of the salt pans, mudflats, wetlands, and mangroves of the famed Pak Thale Shore bird Project, and Laem Phak Bia mangroves.

This is what it should have been. We found out this error just an hour we arrived before Sungai Koyan; it took us 1:45 minutes extra. _____________ © The Virtual Birders 2018 4 Birds observed on the Peninsular Malaysia between 25 February and 4 March 2018 Introduction It was only ten months ago since our successful trip to Taiwan in 2017 and this time we decided to go to Peninsular Malaysia to see Garnet and Rusty-naped Pitta plus the Mountain Peacock-Pheasant as quickly as possible. It was also a good opportunity to look for some missing Sundae species. We would focus on three areas, the Genting Highlands (for the Mountain Peacock-Pheasant), Fraser’s Hill (Malayan Partridge, Malayan Whistling- Thrush, Black-Laughingthrush and Rusty-naped Pitta) and Taman Negara (lowland species like Garnet Pitta, Malayan Banded Pitta, Short-toed Coucal, Black-throated Babbler, White-necked Babbler, Large Wren-Babbler and Rail-Babbler).

    Survey of Birds on Namuli Mountain (Mozambique), November 2007, with Notes on Vegetation and Mammals

    Survey of birds on Namuli Mountain (Mozambique), November 2007, with notes on vegetation and mammals Françoise Dowsett-Lemaire A report prepared for the Darwin Initiative, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew BirdLife International, Instituto de Investigação Agrária de Moçambique and Mount Mulanje Conservation Trust. Dowsett-Lemaire Misc. Report 60 (2008) Dowsett-Lemaire Misc. Rep. 60 (2008) -1- Birds of Namuli Mtn, Mozambique Survey of birds on Namuli Mountain (Mozambique), November 2007, with notes on vegetation and mammals Françoise Dowsett-Lemaire Summary Ornithological surveys were carried out on Namuli Mountain (peak 2419 m) from 14-27 November 2007. Most fo rest on Namuli is found above 1600 or 1700 m, to c. 1900 m (with scrubby forest to 2000 m or a little higher), with the largest block of Manho Forest (at least 1000 ha) spreading over the south-western slopes of the Muretha Plateau. Mid-altitude forest on the south-eastern slopes has been greatly reduced in recent decades by fires and clearance for agriculture. Other habitats include montane grassland (rather wet and peaty), small areas of montane shrubland, rocky outcrops and large granitic domes. The woody vegetation of the various forest types is described in some detail: the dominant emergents of Afromontane forest at 1600-1850 m are Faurea wentzeliana (new for Mozambique, at its sou thern limit of range) and Cryptocarya liebertiana , followed by Olea capensis . Albizia adianthifolia, Newtonia buchananii and Parinari excelsa are dominant in mid-altitude forest (1200-1450 m). Some notes on mammals observed are also included. The main base camp (15-24 November) was on Muretha Plateau at the altitude of 1860 m, in a mosaic of grass - land and small forest patches.

    MALAYSIA: the ASIA Introtour a Tropical Birding Set Departure

    MALAYSIA: The ASIA Introtour A Tropical Birding Set Departure June 23-30, 2018 Guide: Ken Behrens All photos by Ken Behrens TOUR SUMMARY Any birder who has browsed through a southeast Asian bird book realizes that a huge set of lowland forest birds is found in the southern part of the peninsula, from southern Myanmar and Thailand south. Peninsular Malaysia is at the heart of this Sundaland biome, sharing a rich lowland avifauna with Sumatra, Java, and Borneo. Peninsular Malaysia also has tall mountains with a very different mix of birds – pseudo-Himalayan species, local endemics, and species shared with the mountains of the Greater Sunda islands. This tour is built around these two biomes. It is short and affordable, and provides a great introduction both to Asian birding in general, and more specifically to birding in the southern part of southeast Asia. One of the great things about this trip is its simplicity; three nights are spent at two locations: Fraser’s Hill (montane forest) and Taman Negara (lowland forest). The mangrove site of Kuala Selangor is also visited on the way to Fraser’s Hill, adding a nice suite of mangrove and scrubby forest species to the trip tally. Malaysia has excellent infrastructure, including great roads and luxurious lodging. The people are friendly and hospitable, and the excellent food is enriched by a mix of Chinese, Indian, and Malay influences. For those who want a longer sojourn in Sundaland, this short tour can be combined with the longer Tropical Birding Borneo tour that immediately follows it. Malaysia: The Asia Introtour June 23-30, 2018 In one week of birding, we recorded 243 species of birds.

The first definitive checklist of the birds of India (Praveen et .al In September 2019 we circulated a concept note, on alternative 2016), now in its twelfth version (Praveen et al. 2020a), and taxonomic approaches, along with our internal assessment later that of the Indian Subcontinent, now in its eighth version of costs and benefits of each proposition, to stakeholders of (Praveen et al. 2020b), and South Asia (Praveen et al. 2020c), major global taxonomies, inviting feedback. There was a general were all drawn from a master database built upon a putative list of support to our first proposal, to restrict the consensus criteria to birds of the South Asian region (Praveen et al. 2019a). All these only eBird/Clements and IOC, and also to expand the scope to checklists, and their online updates, periodically incorporating all the taxonomic categories, from orders down to species limits.
  • Camera Trapping Rare and Threatened Avifauna in West-Central Sumatra

    Camera Trapping Rare and Threatened Avifauna in West-Central Sumatra

    Bird Conservation International (2008) 18:30–37. ß BirdLife International 2008 doi: 10.1017/S0959270908000051 Printed in the United Kingdom Camera trapping rare and threatened avifauna in west-central Sumatra YOAN DINATA, AGUNG NUGROHO, IDING ACHMAD HAIDIR and MATTHEW LINKIE Summary Tropical forests are becoming increasingly degraded and fragmented by logging, which can affect the survival of forest bird species in different ways. In this study, we present avifauna data collected from a monitoring programme in west-central Sumatra that set camera traps in three study areas with different habitat types, levels of degradation and protection status. From 5,990 camera trap-nights, 248 independent bird photographs were recorded, comprising four orders and nine species, including three endemic species. The Great Argus Pheasant (Argusianus argus) was recorded in all study areas and most frequently (n 5 202 photographs), followed by the threatened Salvadori’s Pheasant (Lophura inornata). The greatest diversity of bird species (five) and abundance index (1.44 bird photographs/100 trap-nights) was recorded from a primary hill- submontane forest site located inside Kerinci Seblat National Park (KSNP) bordering degraded forest in a former logging concession recently repatriated into KSNP. However, inside a primary-selectively logged hill-submontane forest site spread over KSNP and an ex-logging concession, a Sumatran Ground Cuckoo (Carpococcyx viridis) was photographed. This species is noteworthy because prior to this study it had only been documented once since 1916. It is therefore crucial to use the camera trap results to increase the protection status for the ground cuckoo area. This has already happened in the other two study areas, where camera trap data have been used to reclassify the areas as Core Zones, the highest level of protection inside KSNP.
