    SINGITA SABI SAND, SOUTH AFRICA for the Month of December, Two Thousand and Fifteen

    WILDLIFE REPORT SINGITA SABI SAND, SOUTH AFRICA For the month of December, Two Thousand and Fifteen Temperature Rainfall Recorded Sunrise & Sunset Average minimum: 22˚C (71.6˚F) For the month: 36 mm Sunrise 05:05 Average maximum: 34.2˚C (93.6˚F) For the year to date: 286 mm Sunset 18:46 Minimum recorded: 18◦C (64.4˚F) For the season to date: 173.2 mm Maximum recorded: 41˚C (105.8˚F) With a maximum record of 41˚C, the vegetation has been scorched by the hot conditions. Fortunately with the light rain that we did receive it’s allowed some of the flowering plants to blossom. Here's a highlights package of the month's sightings: Hyenas: It's such a joy when hyena cubs are about - they're curios and like to investigate everything around them. Lions: Lion sightings currently could not get any better! Two male lions of the Matimba coalition have been sighted on a few occasions, and they are gradually expanding their current territorial zone north of the river. The Mhangene pride continue to dominate the central area of Singita Sabi Sand. We watched a few interactions between the Majingalane male lions and the sub-adult males of the Mhangene pride that resulted in the young males being dispersed from the pride temporarily. One of the lionesses from the Mhangene pride has been seen with prominent suckle marks indicating that she has given birth. The lionesses has been seen moving in front of the lodges during the early morning and we suspect that the cubs are hidden in the river just east of Boulders Lodge.
  • White Helmetshrike

    White Helmetshrike

    446 Prionopidae: helmetshrikes are not usually found (Vernon 1977). For example, such irruptions have been documented for the years 1953, 1970 and 1979 (Tarboton et al. 1987b). The reporting rates in Zones 5 and 6 peaked in winter and declined in summer, fluctuating dramatically for a bird not usually considered to be a migrant. These variations may have been partly because winter movements render it more conspicuous and take it into habitats with a greater density of observers in the east; Harris & Arnott (1988) stated that it moves into urban habitats during winter. Alternatively, the winter increase in reporting rates could represent a large-scale movement into the region from further north in Africa. The seasonal variation in reporting rates was less marked in Zone 1; the arid conditions of the Kalahari woodlands may limit the extent of their winter dispersion. Breeding: In Zimbabwe, egglaying has been recorded August–April, peaking September–October, and in the Transvaal September–January, peaking October–Novem- ber (Irwin 1981; Tarboton et al. 1987b). The atlas data for Zones 5 and 6 show it breeding July–May and appear to confirm earlier breeding in the north. Late atlas records were probably of fledglings. Interspecific relationships: The ranges of the White and Redbilled P. retzii Helmetshrikes overlap to a large extent and they are sometimes observed side by side, although the Redbilled Helmetshrike tends to prefer more densely wooded environments. Generally, the reporting rate of the White was twice that of the Redbilled Helmet- shrike, but this may be due in part to the latter being less conspicuous.

  • Dendroaspis Viridis

    Dendroaspis Viridis

    Dendroaspis viridis The western green mamba (Dendroaspis viridis), also known as the West African green mamba or Hallowell's green mamba, is a long, thin, and highly venomous snake of the mamba genus, Dendroaspis. This species was first described in 1844 by the American herpetologist Edward Hallowell. The western green mamba is a fairly large and predominantly arboreal species, capable of navigating through trees swiftly and gracefully. It will also descend to ground level to pursue prey such as rodents and other small mammals. The western green mamba is a very alert, nervous, and extremely agile snake that lives mainly in the coastal tropical rainforest, thicket, Scientific Classification and woodland regions of western Africa. Like all the other mambas, the western green mamba is a highly venomous elapid species. Its Kingdom: Anamalia venom is a highly potent mixture of rapid-acting presynaptic and Phylum: Cordata postsynaptic neurotoxins (dendrotoxins), cardiotoxins and fasciculins. Class: Reptilia Some consider this species to not be a particularly aggressive snake, Order: Squamata but others have suggested that they are extremely nervous and are Suborder: Serpentes prone to attack aggressively when cornered. Conflict with humans is Family: Elapidae low compared to some other species found in the region. Bites to Geunus Dendroaspis people by this species are quite uncommon. Their mortality rate, Species D.Viridis however, is high; many of the recorded bites have been fatal. Rapid progression of severe, life-threatening symptoms are hallmarks of Binomial Name mamba bites. Bites with envenomation can be rapidly fatal. Dendroaspis viridis (Hallowell, 1844)[2] Taxonomy Dendroaspis viridis was first described by the American herpetologist and physician Edward Hallowell in 1844.[2][5] In addition to being called the western green mamba, this species is also commonly known as [6] the West African green mamba or Hallowell's green mamba.

Side-striped Jackal/Greater Galago/Roan Antelope/Blotched Genet Trip Summary This was our first ever fully comprehensive tour to Malawi and was quite simply a fantastic experience in all respects. For starters, many of the accommodations are of excellent quality and are also situated in prime birding locations with a large number of the area’s major birding targets found in close proximity. The food is generally very good and the stores and lodges are for the most part stocked with decent beer and a fair selection of South African wine. However, it is the habitat diversity that is largely what makes Malawi so good from a birding point of view. Even though it is a small country, this good variety of habitat, and infrastructure that allows access to these key zones, insures that the list of specials is long and attractive. Our tour was extremely successful in locating the vast majority of the region’s most wanted birds and highlights included Red-winged Francolin, White-backed Night Heron, African Cuckoo-Hawk, Western Banded Snake

    South Africa: Magoebaskloof and Kruger National Park Custom Tour Trip Report

    SOUTH AFRICA: MAGOEBASKLOOF AND KRUGER NATIONAL PARK CUSTOM TOUR TRIP REPORT 24 February – 2 March 2019 By Jason Boyce This Verreaux’s Eagle-Owl showed nicely one late afternoon, puffing up his throat and neck when calling www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | TRIP REPORT South Africa: Magoebaskloof and Kruger National Park February 2019 Overview It’s common knowledge that South Africa has very much to offer as a birding destination, and the memory of this trip echoes those sentiments. With an itinerary set in one of South Africa’s premier birding provinces, the Limpopo Province, we were getting ready for a birding extravaganza. The forests of Magoebaskloof would be our first stop, spending a day and a half in the area and targeting forest special after forest special as well as tricky range-restricted species such as Short-clawed Lark and Gurney’s Sugarbird. Afterwards we would descend the eastern escarpment and head into Kruger National Park, where we would make our way to the northern sections. These included Punda Maria, Pafuri, and the Makuleke Concession – a mouthwatering birding itinerary that was sure to deliver. A pair of Woodland Kingfishers in the fever tree forest along the Limpopo River Detailed Report Day 1, 24th February 2019 – Transfer to Magoebaskloof We set out from Johannesburg after breakfast on a clear Sunday morning. The drive to Polokwane took us just over three hours. A number of birds along the way started our trip list; these included Hadada Ibis, Yellow-billed Kite, Southern Black Flycatcher, Village Weaver, and a few brilliant European Bee-eaters.

    Raptor Road Survey of Northern Kenya 2–15 May 2016

    Raptor Road Survey of northern Kenya 2–15 May 2016 Darcy Ogada, Martin Odino, Peter Wairasho and Benson Mugambi 1 Summary Given the rapid development of northern Kenya and the number of large-scale infrastructure projects that are planned for this region, we undertook a two-week road survey to document raptors in this little-studied region. A team of four observers recorded all raptors seen during road transects over 2356 km in the areas of eastern Lake Turkana, Illeret, Huri Hills, Forolle, Moyale, Marsabit and Laisamis. Given how little is known about the biodiversity in this region we also recorded observations of large mammals, reptiles and non-raptorial birds. Our surveys were conducted immediately after one of the heaviest rainy periods in this region in recent memory. We recorded 770 raptors for an average of 33 raptors/100 km. We recorded 31 species, which included two Palaearctic migrants, Black Kite (Milvus migrans) and Montagu’s Harrier, despite our survey falling outside of the typical migratory period. The most abundant raptors were Rüppell’s Vultures followed by Eastern Pale Chanting Goshawk, Hooded Vulture and Yellow-billed Kite (M. migrans parasitus). Two species expected to be seen, but that were not recorded were White-headed Vulture and Secretarybird. In general, vultures were seen throughout the region. The most important areas for raptors were Marsabit National Park, followed by the area from Huri Hills to Forolle and the area south of Marsabit Town reaching to Ololokwe. There was a surprising dearth of large mammals, particularly in Sibiloi and Marsabit National parks, which likely has implications for raptor populations.

    Journal of the East Africa Natural History Society and National Museum

    JOURNAL OF THE EAST AFRICA NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY AND NATIONAL MUSEUM 15 October, 1978 Vol. 31 No. 167 A CHECKLIST OF mE SNAKES OF KENYA Stephen Spawls 35 WQodland Rise, Muswell Hill, London NIO, England ABSTRACT Loveridge (1957) lists 161 species and subspecies of snake from East Mrica. Eighty-nine of these belonging to some 41 genera were recorded from Kenya. The new list contains some 106 forms of 46 genera. - Three full species have been deleted from Loveridge's original checklist. Typhlops b. blanfordii has been synonymised with Typhlops I. lineolatus, Typhlops kaimosae has been synonymised with Typhlops angolensis (Roux-Esteve 1974) and Co/uber citeroii has been synonymised with Meizodon semiornatus (Lanza 1963). Of the 20 forms added to the list, 12 are forms collected for the first time in Kenya but occurring outside its political boundaries and one, Atheris desaixi is a new species, the holotype and paratypes being collected within Kenya. There has also been a large number of changes amongst the 89 original species as a result of revisionary systematic studies. This accounts for the other additions to the list. INTRODUCTION The most recent checklist dealing with the snakes of Kenya is Loveridge (1957). Since that date there has been a significant number of developments in the Kenyan herpetological field. This paper intends to update the nomenclature in the part of the checklist that concerns the snakes of Kenya and to extend the list to include all the species now known to occur within the political boundaries of Kenya. It also provides the range of each species within Kenya with specific locality records .
