  • South Africa Mega Birding III 5Th to 27Th October 2019 (23 Days) Trip Report
    South Africa Mega Birding III 5th to 27th October 2019 (23 days) Trip Report The near-endemic Gorgeous Bushshrike by Daniel Keith Danckwerts Tour leader: Daniel Keith Danckwerts Trip Report – RBT South Africa – Mega Birding III 2019 2 Tour Summary South Africa supports the highest number of endemic species of any African country and is therefore of obvious appeal to birders. This South Africa mega tour covered virtually the entire country in little over a month – amounting to an estimated 10 000km – and targeted every single endemic and near-endemic species! We were successful in finding virtually all of the targets and some of our highlights included a pair of mythical Hottentot Buttonquails, the critically endangered Rudd’s Lark, both Cape, and Drakensburg Rockjumpers, Orange-breasted Sunbird, Pink-throated Twinspot, Southern Tchagra, the scarce Knysna Woodpecker, both Northern and Southern Black Korhaans, and Bush Blackcap. We additionally enjoyed better-than-ever sightings of the tricky Barratt’s Warbler, aptly named Gorgeous Bushshrike, Crested Guineafowl, and Eastern Nicator to just name a few. Any trip to South Africa would be incomplete without mammals and our tally of 60 species included such difficult animals as the Aardvark, Aardwolf, Southern African Hedgehog, Bat-eared Fox, Smith’s Red Rock Hare and both Sable and Roan Antelopes. This really was a trip like no other! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Tour in Detail Our first full day of the tour began with a short walk through the gardens of our quaint guesthouse in Johannesburg. Here we enjoyed sightings of the delightful Red-headed Finch, small numbers of Southern Red Bishops including several males that were busy moulting into their summer breeding plumage, the near-endemic Karoo Thrush, Cape White-eye, Grey-headed Gull, Hadada Ibis, Southern Masked Weaver, Speckled Mousebird, African Palm Swift and the Laughing, Ring-necked and Red-eyed Doves.

    A pair of fantastic Sokoke Scops Owls. (DLV). All photos taken by DLV during the tour. ULTIMATE KENYA 1 – 20 / 25 APRIL 2017 LEADER: DANI LOPEZ-VELASCO Kenya lived up to its reputation of being one of the most diverse birding destinations on our planet. Once again, our Ultimate Kenya recorded a mind-boggling total of more than 750 species. This was despite the fact that we were prioritizing Kenyan specialities (a task in which we were extremely successful) rather than going all out for a huge list! 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Ultimate Kenya www.birdquest-tours.com The first leg of our epic adventure saw us focusing on the Arabuko-Sokoke Forest where the birding is tough but the rewards are great. Over the course of the two and a half days our talented local guide helped us find all of the main specialities, with the exception of the difficult Clarke’s Weavers, which were presumably on their recently discovered breeding grounds in marshes to the north. Crested Guineafowl and Northern Carmine Bee-eater. We spent much time creeping along sandy tracks, gradually finding our targets one by one. We succeeded in getting great views of a number of skulkers, including a rather showy East Coast Akalat on our last afternoon, some reclusive Eastern Bearded Scrub Robins, a very obliging Red-tailed Ant Thrush and skulking Fischer’s and Tiny Greenbuls. Once in the Brachystegia we kept our eyes and ears open for roving flocks of flock-leader Retz’s and Chestnut-fronted Helmet Shrikes, and with these we found awkward Mombasa Woodpeckers and a single Green-backed Woodpecker, and a variety of smaller species including Black-headed Apalis, Green Barbet, Eastern Green Tinkerbird, dainty Little Yellow Flycatchers, Forest Batis, Pale Batis, cracking little Amani and Plain-backed Sunbirds and Dark-backed Weaver.

Our recent commitments 7 vi. Our Partners 14 vii. Contacts 17 viii. Credits 18 September 2012 2 A Word from the Founder FONDATION SEGRÉ SEPTEMBER 2012 hat a difference nine months make... I am delighted that in the first three quarters of 2012, commitments have increased by 80%. The explanation is that new projects have been approved Wwith new partners. The scope of our activities has also increased significantly with our commitment to a vast programme against poaching and illegal wildlife trade. When the Foundation was established in 1996, it was given given a very broad scope: to promote humanitarian, scientific, educational, artistic and environmental projects. For the first years of the Foundation, we committed resources in each of these vast fields. This experience was essential for understanding where the Foundation could make a difference. In these fifteen years, protection of nature and its biodiversity as well as education emerged clearly as the predominant interests. Just to explain how it all began, I was born in Rome in 1932: after graduating in law at the University of Rome, I received a PhD in Economics from Yale University in 1958. I joined the Commission of the European Communities in 1959, where I was Director of Research, with a particular interest in capital markets. In 1967 I became a partner of the Investment Bank Lazard Frères & Cie in Paris.

  • Remote Tanzania
    The wonderful Usambara Eagle Owl... our inevitable bird of the trip! (Pete Morris) REMOTE TANZANIA 27 SEPTEMBER / 1 – 16 / 24 OCTOBER 2016 LEADER: PETE MORRIS Our 2017 tour to ‘Remote Tanzania’ turned out to be a fantastic adventure that way-surpassed most of our expectations. And with the addition of a pre-tour Northern Tanzania endemics extension, and a post-tour Ud- zungwa Mountains extension, the tour really was converted to an ‘Ultimate Tanzania’. For most of the tour we were accompanied by our ever reliable, super friendly and effcient local driver and excellent local guide, and were blessed with largely good weather, most importantly when we were camping up in the mountains. With such a good set up and conditions, there were few excuses, so we effciently set about our task of hoovering up the endemics, whilst enjoying the other wonders that this great country has to offer. 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Remote Tanzania 2016 www.birdquest-tours.com The stunning Swynnerton’s Robin... a highlight of the Udzungwa Extension (Pete Morris) The pre-tour extension involved a whistle stop trek from Arusha to the Lariboro Plains and then down to Ndutu on the edge of the great Serengeti Plains and back via the amazing Ngorongoro Crater. Our task was to fnd the endemics: Grey-breasted Spurfowl, Yellow-collared and Fischer’s Lovebirds, Beesley’s Lark, Rufous-tailed Weaver and Ashy Starling all performed well alongside an excellent cast of other hoped-for birds and mam- mals. The main tour saw us travelling through arid plains and on to the South Pare Mountains, the East and West Usambaras, the attractive Pemba Island, the remote Uluguru and Ukaguru Mountains, the impressive Mikumi National Park and its surrounding miombo woodlands and the little explored Kilombero Plains.

  • On the Incubation Biology of the Spur-Winged Plover Hoplopterus Spjnosus (Aves: Charadriidae) in Israel
    ISRAEL JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY, Vol. 34, 1986/87, pp. 155-157 ON THE INCUBATION BIOLOGY OF THE SPUR-WINGED PLOVER HOPLOPTERUS SPJNOSUS (AVES: CHARADRIIDAE) IN ISRAEL HANA CZACKES-RADO AND YORAM YOM-Tov Department of Zoology, Tel Aviv University, 69978 Tel Aviv, Israel Little has been published on the incubation biology of the spur-winged plover and much of what does exist is quoted as a personal communication from S. Su-Aretz (Cramp & Simmons, 1983). The observations which we report here will partially fill the gap. Our observations were carried out in the Tel Aviv-Ramat Gan Safari Park near Tel Aviv. The area is almost flat, has several small open groves, open grass and a large pond. About 20 pairs and 40 flock birds of wild spur-winged plovers live in the park, mainly near the pond, but also in the groves. Observations were made during the springs of 1982 and 1983. Numerical values are given as mean±standard deviation. Biology. The birds live in pairs throughout the year. Copulations were observed in the third week of March and continued even after hatching of the chicks. Nests were built chiefly near the pond. Both members of the pair participated in nest building by leaning on the breast and scratching the ground with their legs, pushing the soil in all directions and later pressing their breasts to the ground while making side movements until a 7-10 em diameter, 0.5-3 em deep depression was formed. The birds lined it with small pieces of grass. Many nests were made near resting sites of large animals: 1.5 m from a preferred basking spot of a crocodile, Crocodylus niloticus; near the lions, Panthera leo; and in the enclosures of spotted deer, Rusa axis and Indian elephants, Elephas maximus.
