  • Forest Bird Fauna of South China: Notes on Current Distribution and Status

    Forest Bird Fauna of South China: Notes on Current Distribution and Status

    FORKTAIL 22 (2006): 23–38 Forest bird fauna of South China: notes on current distribution and status LEE KWOK SHING, MICHAEL WAI-NENG LAU, JOHN R. FELLOWES and CHAN BOSCO PUI LOK From 1997 to 2004, a team from Hong Kong and southern China conducted rapid biodiversity surveys in 54 forest areas in the provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan. A total of 372 bird species were recorded (201 in Guangdong, 299 in Guangxi and 164 in Hainan), including 12 globally threatened species, 50 China Key Protected Species and 44 species outside their previously recorded ranges. Breeding was confirmed for 94 species. In total, 232 species (62%) were recorded at five sites or fewer (2–10%). These include species at the edge of their range, migratory and wintering species inadequately sampled by these surveys, species more characteristic of non- forest habitats, and less conspicuous species that were under-recorded, but also rare and localised species. Of particular conservation concern are the globally threatened White-eared Night Heron Gorsachius magnificus, Cabot’s Tragopan Tragopan caboti, Hainan Partridge Arborophila ardens, White-necklaced Partridge Arborophila gingica, Fairy Pitta Pitta nympha, Pale-capped Pigeon Columba punicea, Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher Rhinomyias brunneata and Gold-fronted Fulvetta Alcippe variegaticeps, and other species highly dependent on the region’s forests, such as Hainan Peacock Pheasant Polyplectron katsumatae, Pale-headed Woodpecker Gecinulus grantia, Blue-rumped Pitta Pitta soror, Swinhoe’s Minivet Pericrocotus cantonensis and Fujian Niltava Niltava davidi. At most of the sites visited, the main threat is habitat loss and degradation, especially clearance of natural forest for timber and agriculture; most remaining natural forests are fragmented and small in size.

    Home Range Size and Habitat Use of the Blue-Crowned Laughingthrush During the Breeding Season

    Home range size and habitat use of the blue-crowned laughingthrush during the breeding season Tao Liu1, Yongtao Xu1, Bai Mo1, Jinze Shi1, Yachang Cheng2,3, Weiwei Zhang1 and Fumin Lei4 1 College of Forestry, Jiangxi Agricultural University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China 2 Department of Migration, Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, Radolfzell, Germany 3 University of Konstanz, Department of Biology, Konstanz, Germany 4 Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China ABSTRACT The home range size and habitat use of the blue-crowned laughingthrush (Garrulax courtoisi, hereafter BCLT), a critically endangered, subtropical, cooperative-breeding bird species in southeast China, were studied during its breeding period using radio telemetry at different sites during 3 consecutive years (2016–18, from May to June of each year). A total of 17 birds (12 males, four females, and one of unknown sex) were tagged, and a total 1515 locations (mean ± se D 89.12 ± 11.42) were obtained over 54 days of tracking. The average 100% minimum convex polygon (MCP) home range size was 10.05 ± 1.17 ha, and the estimated KDE core area (fiexed kernel density estimator, KDE) size was 7.84 ± 1.18 ha. According to the Wilcoxon rank sum tests, both the 100% MCP and KDE core area size of males did not significantly differ from those of females. There were no significant differences in the 100% MCP or KDE core area sizes of the three breeding sites. The available habitats in the breeding sites included water areas, shrubs, grass plots, woodland, residential areas, vegetable field, farmland, and sandy beaches; among them, only woodland was significantly preferred by BCLTs.

    Eastern China Tour Report 2019

    We had multiple sightings of the magnificent Reeves’s Pheasant at Dongzhai NR (Dave Williamson). EASTERN CHINA 2 – 14/26 MAY 2019 LEADER: HANNU JÄNNES Birdquest’s Eastern China tour, an epic 25 day journey across much of eastern China, focused on a range of rare Chinese endemics and migrants, and once again proved a great success. The focus of the early part of the tour is achieving good views of rarities like Spoon-billed Sandpiper, the critically endangered Blue- crowned (Courtois’s) Laughingthrush, the superb Cabot’s Tragopan and Elliot’s Pheasant and the ultra-rare Chinese Crested Tern. In this we were successful except for the Chinese Crested Tern, currently very difficult to see, as foreigners are not allowed to visit best stake-out for it any longer. Other much sought after species included White-faced Plover, Great Knot, stunning Saunders’s Gulls, Reed Parrotbill, eastern migrants with Pechora Pipit, Yellow-rumped, Narcissus and Mugimaki Flycatchers, and forest species like Brown-chested Jungle Flycatcher, White-necklaced Partridge, Silver Pheasant, Buffy and Moustached Laughingthrushes, Fork-tailed Sunbird and the delightful Pied Falconet. All in all quite a haul! The latter part of the tour, the ‘Northeast Extension’, visited a series of sites for various other Chinese specialities. Beginning in Wuhan, we bagged the amazing Reeves’s Pheasant and Crested Ibis as well as Fairy Pitta, before moving on to Jiaocheng for the fabulous Brown Eared Pheasants. Next the mountains of Hebei province, where we saw the endemic Chinese Beautiful Rosefinch, Chinese Nuthatch, Green-backed and Zappey’s Flycatchers, then a brief visit south to a recently discovered site for the critically endangered 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Eastern China www.birdquest-tours.com Baer’s Pochard, and then our final destination, the grasslands and wetlands of Jilin province, where we found more rarities including the fabulous Jankowski’s Bunting as well as Daurian Partridge, Red-crowned and White-naped Cranes, Oriental Stork and Chinese Grey Shrike and an array of Siberian migrants.

The effect on biodiversity of creating a mountain landscape with a network of forest fragments and a cultivated habitat matrix is poorly documented in China. Bird communities in forest fragments and tea plantations were censused by field observations in two years (2018–2019) in three tea-growing locations, Anxi, Beifeng, and Wuyishan in Fujian Province, south-eastern China. Out of a potential pool of 247 forest-associated bird species, we detected the presence of 82, mostly resident species, 32–47 of those regularly visiting tea plantations.

A total of 17 birds (12 males, four females, and one of unknown sex) were tagged, and a total 1515 locations (mean ± se D 89.12 ± 11.42) were obtained over 54 days of tracking. The average 100% minimum convex polygon (MCP) home range size was 10.05 ± 1.17 ha, and the estimated KDE core area (fiexed kernel density estimator, KDE) size was 7.84 ± 1.18 ha. According to the Wilcoxon rank sum tests, both the 100% MCP and KDE core area size of males did not significantly differ from those of females. There were no significant differences in the 100% MCP or KDE core area sizes of the three breeding sites. The available habitats in the breeding sites included water areas, shrubs, grass plots, woodland, residential areas, vegetable field, farmland, and sandy beaches; among them, only woodland was significantly preferred by BCLTs.
