  • The Waterbirds and Coastal Seabirds of Timor-Leste: New Site Records Clarifying Residence Status, Distribution and Taxonomy
    FORKTAIL 27 (2011): 63–72 The waterbirds and coastal seabirds of Timor-Leste: new site records clarifying residence status, distribution and taxonomy COLIN R. TRAINOR The status of waterbirds and coastal seabirds in Timor-Leste is refined based on surveys during 2005–2010. A total of 2,036 records of 82 waterbird and coastal seabirds were collected during 272 visits to 57 Timor-Leste sites, and in addition a small number of significant records from Indonesian West Timor, many by colleagues, are included. More than 200 new species by Timor-Leste site records were collected. Key results were the addition of three waterbirds to the Timor Island list (Red-legged Crake Rallina fasciata, vagrant Masked Lapwing Vanellus miles and recent colonist and Near Threatened Javan Plover Charadrius javanicus) and the first records in Timor-Leste for three irregular visitors: Australian White Ibis Threskiornis molucca, Ruff Philomachus pugnax and Near Threatened Eurasian Curlew Numenius arquata. Records of two subspecies of Gull-billed Tern Gelochelidon nilotica, including the first confirmed records outside Australia of G. n. macrotarsa, were also of note. INTRODUCTION number of field projects in Timor-Leste, including an Important Bird Areas programme and a doctoral study (Trainor et al. 2007a, Timor Island lies at the interface of continental South-East Asia and Trainor 2010). The residence status and nomenclature for some Australia and consequently its resident waterbird and coastal seabird species listed in a fieldguide (Trainor et al. 2007b) and recent review avifauna is biogeographically mixed. Some of the most notable (Trainor et al. 2008) are clarified. Three new island records are findings of a Timor-Leste field survey during 2002–2004 were the documented and substantial new ecological data on distribution discovery of resident breeding populations of the essentially Australian and habitat use are included.

The western and southern boundaries METHODS are bordered by tea gardens and agricultural fields (Fig. 1). Biogeographically, the reserve lies in two major zones: A total of 12 line transects (Caughley 1977), each 1 km the Central Himalayas and Gangetic Plains. Most of the long, were used to survey the avifauna: three in plantations area of the reserve lies in plains, and only the northern of teak (T2 and T9) and sal (T1), three in semi-evergreen tracts are hilly. The elevation ranges from 60 to 1,750 m. forest (T3, T5 and T8), two in hill forest (T11 and T12) There are 37 villages inside the reserve and 33 tea gardens and one each in scrub (T4), riverine forest (T10), forest on the fringes. The habitat is primarily tropical moist- around a village (T7) and mixed plantation with natural deciduous forest dominated by sal Shorea robusta. In forest (T6).

Wetland dependent birds in Beeshazari lake system was studied by using Area Search and Scan Sampling methods. We recorded a total of 44 wetland bird species belonging to 11 families and 9 orders. These lakes support a total of 7.5% of globally threatened and 8.93% of the nationally threatened birds. The species diversity and abundance were more in winter than in summer seasons. Fishermen and tourist pressure caused significantly negative impact on abundance and distribution of wetland birds. The major threats to wetland birds in this area were human disturbance, habitat degradation and declining water quality due to eutrophication and invasion of alien plant species such as water Hyacinth and Southern Cutgrass.

  • Borneo Trip Report Black Oriole and Dulit Frogmouth Extension Th Nd 27 June to 2 July 2015
    Borneo Trip Report Black Oriole and Dulit Frogmouth Extension th nd 27 June to 2 July 2015 The beautifally plumaged Blue-banded Pitta at Mererap by Rosemary Loyd. RBT Trip Report – Borneo Black Oriole & Dulit Frogmouth Extension 2015 2 Tour Leaders: Ch’ien C. Lee and Erik Forsyth Trip report compiled by Tour Leader Erik Forsyth Tour Summary “It wasn’t long before we again heard the unmistakable high-pitched fluty call of the Black Oriole, a species few birders have heard, let alone seen. And within a few magical seconds a bird appeared on an open twig, its black plumage and bright-red bill strikingly noticeable in the early morning sunshine. Then suddenly a second bird joined in and we were treated to fabulous views. This is the bird we had come so far to see and boy did we see the pair well!” To hear about our trip into Sarawak, read on… On our first morning in Kota Kinabalu, we took a quick walk around the hotel grounds, picking up several of the commoner city birds including confiding Pink-necked Green Pigeons sunning in the early sunlight, Peaceful Dove, Glossy Swiftlet, a calling Asian Koel, Collared Kingfisher, Asian Glossy Starling and Yellow-vented Bulbul. Shortly after this we met our driver and jumped into the vehicle to take us to Lawas in Sarawak. South of Kota Kinabalu we stopped at several rice fields swarming with birds, where we found good numbers of Great, Intermediate and Little Egrets concentrated in certain flooded fields, the odd Purple Heron and Brahminy Kite, as well as a single, overwintering Common Greenshank.
