    Northwest Argentina (custom tour) 13 – 24 November, 2015 Tour leader: Andrés Vásquez Co-guided by Sam Woods Trip Report by Andrés Vásquez; most photos by Sam Woods, a few by Andrés V. Elegant Crested-Tinamou at Los Cardones NP near Cachi; photo by Sam Woods Introduction: Northwest Argentina is an incredible place and a wonderful birding destination. It is one of those locations you feel like you are crossing through Wonderland when you drive along some of the most beautiful landscapes in South America adorned by dramatic rock formations and deep-blue lakes. So you want to stop every few kilometers to take pictures and when you look at those shots in your camera you know it will never capture the incredible landscape and the breathtaking feeling that you had during that moment. Then you realize it will be impossible to explain to your relatives once at home how sensational the trip was, so you breathe deeply and just enjoy the moment without caring about any other thing in life. This trip combines a large amount of quite contrasting environments and ecosystems, from the lush humid Yungas cloud forest to dry high Altiplano and Puna, stopping at various lakes and wetlands on various altitudes and ending on the drier upper Chaco forest. Tropical Birding Tours Northwest Argentina, Nov.2015 p.1 Sam recording memories near Tres Cruces, Jujuy; photo by Andrés V. All this is combined with some very special birds, several endemic to Argentina and many restricted to the high Andes of central South America. Highlights for this trip included Red-throated

Tour Report Tour Participants: Marcus John (leaders) with six Naturetrek clients Summary The Gambia is an ideal destination for a relaxed holiday and offers a great introduction to the diverse and colourful birdlife of Africa. We spent the week at the stunning Mandina Lodges, a unique place that lies on a secluded mangrove-lined tributary of the mighty River Gambia. The lodges are situated next to the creek and within the Makasuto Forest, which comprises over a thousand acres of pristine, protected forest. Daily walks took us out through the woodland and into the rice fields and farmland beyond, where a great range of birds and butterflies can be found. It was sometimes hard to know where to look as parrots, turacos, rollers and bee-eaters all vied for our attention! Guinea Baboons are resident in the forest and were very approachable; Green Vervet Monkeys were seen nearly every day and we also found a group of long-limbed Patas Monkeys, the fastest primates in the world! Boat trips along the creek revealed a diverse selection of waders, kingfishers and other waterbirds; fourteen species of raptor were also seen during the week.

P.3 and Akpan, M2 1Department of Biological Sciences, Bingham University, P.M.B. 005, Karu, Nasarawa State, Nigeria Email:[email protected] 2Federal University of Technology, Yola, Nigeria, Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management. 3University of Maiduguri, Borno, Nigeria, Department of Biological Sciences ABSTRACT The diversity of frugivorous bird species in relation to tree species diversity was investigated in Designated and Reserved Green Areas of Abuja, Nigeria. The study estimated, investigated and examined trees species and avian frugivore in terms of their diversity. Point-Centered Quarter Method (PCQM) was used for vegetation analysis while random walk and focal observation was used for bird frugivore identification and enumeration. data was collected from six locations coinciding with the local administrative areas within the Federal Capital Territory. These were, the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Abaji, Bwari, Gwagwalada, Kuje and Kwali. AMAC is designated as urban while the remaining five sites are designated as sub-urban. The highest number of fruit tree species was encountered in AMAC (30), followed by Abaji (29) while 27, 25, 19 and 11 fruit tree species were encountered in Kwali, Bwari Gwagwalada and Kuje respectively. The similarity or otherwise dissimilarity in fruit tree species composition between each pair of the enumerated sites showed Gwagwalada and Kuje as the most similar, and the similarity or otherwise dissimilarity in frugivorous bird species composition between each pair of the enumerated showed higher species similarity between the AMAC and each of the other sites, and between each pair of the sites than that of the fruit trees in the respective sites.

  • Borneo: Broadbills & Bristleheads
    TROPICAL BIRDING Trip Report: BORNEO June-July 2012 A Tropical Birding Set Departure Tour BORNEO: BROADBILLS & BRISTLEHEADS RHINOCEROS HORNBILL: The big winner of the BIRD OF THE TRIP; with views like this, it’s easy to understand why! 24 June – 9 July 2012 Tour Leader: Sam Woods All but one photo (of the Black-and-yellow Broadbill) were taken by Sam Woods (see http://www.pbase.com/samwoods or his blog, LOST in BIRDING http://www.samwoodsbirding.blogspot.com for more of Sam’s photos) 1 www.tropicalbirding.com Tel: +1-409-515-0514 E-mail: [email protected] TROPICAL BIRDING Trip Report: BORNEO June-July 2012 INTRODUCTION Whichever way you look at it, this year’s tour of Borneo was a resounding success: 297 bird species were recorded, including 45 endemics . We saw all but a few of the endemic birds we were seeking (and the ones missed are mostly rarely seen), and had good weather throughout, with little rain hampering proceedings for any significant length of time. Among the avian highlights were five pitta species seen, with the Blue-banded, Blue-headed, and Black-and-crimson Pittas in particular putting on fantastic shows for all birders present. The Blue-banded was so spectacular it was an obvious shoe-in for one of the top trip birds of the tour from the moment we walked away. Amazingly, despite absolutely stunning views of a male Blue-headed Pitta showing his shimmering cerulean blue cap and deep purple underside to spectacular effect, he never even got a mention in the final highlights of the tour, which completely baffled me; he simply could not have been seen better, and birds simply cannot look any better! However, to mention only the endemics is to miss the mark, as some of the, other, less local birds create as much of a stir, and can bring with them as much fanfare.

  • BORNEO: Bristleheads, Broadbills, Barbets, Bulbuls, Bee-Eaters, Babblers, and a Whole Lot More
    BORNEO: Bristleheads, Broadbills, Barbets, Bulbuls, Bee-eaters, Babblers, and a whole lot more A Tropical Birding Set Departure July 1-16, 2018 Guide: Ken Behrens All photos by Ken Behrens TOUR SUMMARY Borneo lies in one of the biologically richest areas on Earth – the Asian equivalent of Costa Rica or Ecuador. It holds many widespread Asian birds, plus a diverse set of birds that are restricted to the Sunda region (southern Thailand, peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Java, and Borneo), and dozens of its own endemic birds and mammals. For family listing birders, the Bornean Bristlehead, which makes up its own family, and is endemic to the island, is the top target. For most other visitors, Orangutan, the only great ape found in Asia, is the creature that they most want to see. But those two species just hint at the wonders held by this mysterious island, which is rich in bulbuls, babblers, treeshrews, squirrels, kingfishers, hornbills, pittas, and much more. Although there has been rampant environmental destruction on Borneo, mainly due to the creation of oil palm plantations, there are still extensive forested areas left, and the Malaysian state of Sabah, at the northern end of the island, seems to be trying hard to preserve its biological heritage. Ecotourism is a big part of this conservation effort, and Sabah has developed an excellent tourist infrastructure, with comfortable lodges, efficient transport companies, many protected areas, and decent roads and airports. So with good infrastructure, and remarkable biological diversity, including many marquee species like Orangutan, several pittas and a whole Borneo: Bristleheads and Broadbills July 1-16, 2018 range of hornbills, Sabah stands out as one of the most attractive destinations on Earth for a travelling birder or naturalist.

  • White-Throated Nightjar Eurostopodus Mystacalis: Diurnal Over-Sea Migration in a Nocturnal Bird
    32 AUSTRALIAN FIELD ORNITHOLOGY 2011, 28, 32–37 White-throated Nightjar Eurostopodus mystacalis: Diurnal Over-sea Migration in a Nocturnal Bird MIKE CARTER1 and BEN BRIGHT2 130 Canadian Bay Road, Mount Eliza, Victoria 3930 (Email: [email protected]) 2P.O. Box 643, Weipa, Queensland 4874 Summary A White-throated Nightjar Eurostopodus mystacalis was photographed flying low above the sea in the Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, at ~1600 h on 25 August 2010. Sightings of Nightjars behaving similarly in the same area in the days before obtaining the conclusive photographs suggest that they were on southerly migration, returning from their wintering sojourn in New Guinea to their breeding grounds in Australia. Other relevant sightings are given, and the significance of this behaviour is discussed. The evidence Observations in 2010 At 0900 h on 21 August 2010, whilst conducting a fishing charter by boat in the Gulf of Carpentaria off the western coast of Cape York, Queensland, BB observed an unusual bird flying low over the sea. Although his view was sufficient to excite curiosity, it did not enable identification. Twice on 23 August 2010, the skipper of a companion vessel, who had been alerted to the sighting, had similar experiences. Then at 1600 h on 25 August 2010, BB saw ‘the bird’ again. In order to determine its identity, he followed it, which necessitated his boat reaching speeds of 20–25 knots. During the pursuit, which lasted 10–15 minutes, he obtained over 15 photographs and a video recording. He formed the opinion that the bird was a nightjar, most probably a White-throated Nightjar Eurostopodus mystacalis.

    Natural history notes and conservation of two species endemic to the Espinhaço Range, Brazil: Hyacinth Visorbearer Augastes scutatus and Grey-backed Tachuri Polystictus superciliaris Marcelo Ferreira de Vasconcelos Cotinga 11 (1999): 75–78 São descritas observações comportamentais e notas sobre a conservação de dois endemismos da Cadeia do Espinhaço, Brasil: o beija-flor-de-gravata-verde Augastes scutatus e o papa-moscas-de-costas-cinzentas Polystictus superciliaris. Machos de A. scutatus foram observados realizando comportamento territorial, perseguindo outros beija-flores e vocalizando em poleiros expostos ao redor de recursos florais. Por outro lado, as fêmeas desta espécie nunca foram observadas defendendo territórios, sempre sendo registradas visitando flores mais esparsas e voando para outros locais. Indivíduos de P. superciliaris são comumente observados forrageando em arbustos e árvores baixas dos campos rupestres a procura de pequenos insetos. Um ninho encontrado em julho de 1996 e o registro de uma ave jovem em agosto deste mesmo ano na Serra do Curral sugerem que a época reprodutiva desta espécie seja no meio do ano. Embora as duas espécies ocorram em unidades de conservação, sugere-se que A. scutatus seja considerado como uma espécie presumivelmente ameaçada no Estado de Minas Gerais pela aparente grande sensibilidade da mesma à mudanças em seu habitat. Introduction The Espinhaço Range encompasses parts of Minas Gerais and Bahia states in Brazil3 (see map), and is covered by campos rupestres vegetation4 (Fig. 1). The campos rupestres of the Espinhaço Range are an important centre of plant endemism4 and diversity6. Typical botanical families found in the campos rupestres are Eriocaulaceae and Velloziaceae1,4,12,13,15.

Our cover photo shows a young team competing in NSS’ 35th Singapore Patron Professor Tommy Koh Bird Race. This event attracted the largest number of teams and participants President ever, thanks not only to the many keen young primary and secondary Dr Shawn Lum school participants, but also the slightly older groups of photographers and Vice-President Dr Ho Hua Chew birdwatchers who took part. And the few even older ones. And the youngsters Immediate Past President needed a solid core of “middling-age” types, teachers and NSS volunteers, to Dr Geh Min keep them safe as they roamed around the southern ridges. Honorary Secretary Mr Morten Strange At the core of the Bird Race organisation was Lim Kim Chuah, now Honorary Treasurer Chair of the NSS Bird Group, and one of those who had competed in the first Mr Bhagyesh Chaubey Bird Race in 1984 – a two team event. He was one of the young generation of Honorary Assistant Secretary Ms Evelyn Ng Singaporeans who gave the Society, then the Singapore Branch of the Malayan Honorary Assistant Treasurer Nature Society, a power surge in the 1980s.
