This month we welcome the arrival of volunteers Luke and Sarah from Cardiff University, they will be spending the following 6 months at DG to carry out their masters projects. Sarah will be looking at the diversity of frogs in over 70 different sites along the area of the Kinabatangan and comparing different habitats. Assisting Sarah for the first few days of her project was herpetologist Graeme Gillespie, who previous position was as Director of Conservation for Zoos Victoria. Luke, on the other hand, will be looking at one of our most enigmatic animals, the salt water crocodile. He will be carrying out a survey along a 100km stretch of the Kinabatangan, recording crocodile density and estimate body sizes, as well as analysing their surrounding habitat. Picture by Luke Evans Page 3 February 2011 StarkStark strikesstrikes againagain Primatologist Danica Stark has carried out an extensive primate survey along the Kinabatangan river bank, focusing primarily on proboscis monkeys and their group compositions. The survey has been successful, finding 6 of the 8 diurnal primates species that exist along the Kinabatangan, including orangutans, red leaf and silver leaf monkeys and numerous proboscis monkey groups. -

Checklist of the Birds of Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands
Checklist of the Birds of Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands Christmas Island Emerald Dove feathers R.E. Johnstone and J.C. Darnell Collections and Research, Western Australian Museum, Kew Street, Welshpool, WA 6106 †June 2021 ____________________________________ This checklist covers Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands in the tropical eastern Indian Ocean and their surrounding seas. Christmas Island lies 290 km south of Java (Indonesia) and 1,400 km north-west of Western Australia. It is a small uplifted volcanic island (137 km² in area) and is administered by Western Australia as an External Territory of Australia. The Cocos (Keeling) Islands lie 970 km west of Christmas Island and 2,100 km north-west of Western Australia. They comprise two low-lying atolls, a large southern atoll (Cocos) consisting of about 26 islands around a horseshoe-shaped lagoon and a smaller North Keeling Island lying 25 km to the north. They cover a land area of about 14 km² and are also administered by Western Australia as an External Territory of Australia. The main aim of this work is to provide an up-to-date checklist of the birds of this region to include the large number of additional species that have been recorded on these islands since the publication of the Annotated Checklists of Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands in 2004 (Johnstone and Darnell Appendix A and B in: Handbook of Western Australian Birds Volume II) and the more recent review of the birds of Christmas Island (James and McAllan 2014 Australian Field Ornithology Suppl. 31). Criterion for inclusion of a species or subspecies on the list is, in most cases, supported by tangible evidence i.e. -

Sri Lanka: January 2015
Tropical Birding Trip Report Sri Lanka: January 2015 A Tropical Birding CUSTOM tour SRI LANKA: Ceylon Sojourn 9th- 23rd January 2015 Tour Leaders: Sam Woods & Chaminda Dilruk SRI LANKA JUNGLEFOWL is Sri Lanka’s colorful national bird, which was ranked among the top five birds of the tour by the group. All photos in this report were taken by Sam Woods. 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-0514 [email protected] Page Tropical Birding Trip Report Sri Lanka: January 2015 INTRODUCTION In many ways Sri Lanka covers it all; for the serious birder, even those with experience from elsewhere in the Indian subcontinent, it offers up a healthy batch of at least 32 endemic bird species (this list continues to grow, though, so could increase further yet); for those without any previous experience of the subcontinent it offers these but, being an island of limited diversity, not the overwhelming numbers of birds, which can be intimidating for the first timer; and for those with a natural history slant that extends beyond the avian, there is plentiful other wildlife besides, to keep all happy, such as endemic monkeys, strange reptiles only found on this teardrop-shaped island, and a bounty of butterflies, which feature day-in, day-out. It should also be made clear that while it appears like a chunk of India which has dropped of the main subcontinent, to frame it, as merely an extension of India, would be a grave injustice, as Sri Lanka feels, looks, and even tastes very different. There are some cultural quirks that make India itself, sometimes challenging to visit for the westerner. -
