  • SICHUAN (Including Northern Yunnan)
    Temminck’s Tragopan (all photos by Dave Farrow unless indicated otherwise) SICHUAN (Including Northern Yunnan) 16/19 MAY – 7 JUNE 2018 LEADER: DAVE FARROW The Birdquest tour to Sichuan this year was a great success, with a slightly altered itinerary to usual due to the closure of Jiuzhaigou, and we enjoyed a very smooth and enjoyable trip around the spectacular and endemic-rich mountain and plateau landscapes of this striking province. Gamebirds featured strongly with 14 species seen, the highlights of them including a male Temminck’s Tragopan grazing in the gloom, Chinese Monal trotting across high pastures, White Eared and Blue Eared Pheasants, Lady Amherst’s and Golden Pheasants, Chinese Grouse and Tibetan Partridge. Next were the Parrotbills, with Three-toed, Great and Golden, Grey-hooded and Fulvous charming us, Laughingthrushes included Red-winged, Buffy, Barred, Snowy-cheeked and Plain, we saw more Leaf Warblers than we knew what to do with, and marvelled at the gorgeous colours of Sharpe’s, Pink-rumped, Vinaceous, Three-banded and Red-fronted Rosefinches, the exciting Przevalski’s Finch, the red pulse of Firethroats plus the unreal blue of Grandala. Our bird of the trip? Well, there was that Red Panda that we watched for ages! 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Sichuan Including Northern Yunnan 2018 www.birdquest-tours.com Our tour began with a short extension in Yunnan, based in Lijiang city, with the purpose of finding some of the local specialities including the rare White-speckled Laughingthrush, which survives here in small numbers. Once our small group had arrived in the bustling city of Lijiang we began our birding in an area of hills that had clearly been totally cleared of forest in the fairly recent past, with a few trees standing above the hillsides of scrub.

  • The Birds and Other Wildlife Recorded on the David Bishop Bird Tours Bhutan Tour - 2015
    The Birds and Other Wildlife recorded on the David Bishop Bird Tours Bhutan Tour - 2015 Wallcreeper © K. David Bishop Compiled and led by K. David Bishop David Bishop Bird Tours Bhutan 2015 BHUTAN 2015 “The Paro Dzong (monastery), guarded by icy crags, sits warming under the late afternoon sun. It seems to welcome our approach to our beautifully located hotel. An Ibisbill, so subtle as to be taken for a glacial stone, dips quietly in the snowmelt. This is indeed the Kingdom of Bhutan and the land of the peaceful Dragon.” As my good friend Steve Hilty remarked on first setting foot in the kingdom, "This is fairytale land." K. David Bishop This was my 28th bird tour to Bhutan. I first began leading bird tours to this magical kingdom in 1994 and have enjoyed the privilege of returning there once or twice a year almost annually since then. So what is it that has makes this particular tour so attractive? Quite simply Bhutan is in a class of its very own. Yes it is an expensive tour (although with David Bishop Bird Tours perhaps not so), largely because the Bhutanese have decided (in our opinion quite rightly) that they would rather not compromise their culture and spectacular natural environment to hundreds of thousands of tourists and in consequence they charge a princely sum for being among the privileged few to visit their country. Similarly we feel that we have a very special product to offer and whilst we could make it shorter and thus less expensive we feel that that would diminish the experience.

The study of avian faunal diversity is an essential ecological tool, which acts as an indicator to evaluated different habitats both qualitatively and quantitatively The present day study was carried out to documents the avian diversity in South District of Sikkim. A total of 100 species of birds belonging to 35 families were recorded. In terms of familial richness, muscicapidae dominates in the field of study areas, comprising 16 species followed by turdidae with 8 species, corvdae with 6 species. The present day study adds some valuable information on avian diversity in the study area. Keywords: avian fauna, birds, community, sikkim and conservation 1.

Current consensus is that hole-nesting and granivorous birds avoid brood parasites, like common cuckoos Cuculus canorus , by their inaccessible nest-sites and food unsuitable for parasites, respectively. Any open-nesting insectivorous hosts are believed to remain open to brood parasite exploitation which leads to the evolution of costly host defences like egg or chick discrimination.

  • The Timor Leaf-Warbler Phylloscopus Presbytes Is a Probable Host of the Sunda Cuckoo Cuculus Lepidus

Informasi ini kemungkinan merupakan laporan pertama mengenai pengasuhan oleh inang terhadap anak Cuculus lepidus untuk kawasan Wallacea. On a visit to Mount Kelimutu (846’S – 12149E), Ende regency, Central Flores, Nusa Tenggara, on 20 September 2005, a pair of Timor Leaf-warblers Phyllopscopus presbytes was observed feeding a juvenile Sunda Cuckoo Cuculus lepidus (formerly considered conspecific with Oriental Cuckoo C. optatus and Himalayan Cuckoo C. saturatus; see King 2005, Payne 2005). The cuckoo was large with dark, mottled upperparts, and a light (creamy) coloured, barred breast and belly. The bill was tipped black, and the eye-ring and legs were yellow. Observations were made at an altitude of c. 1,580 m asl from the path leading up to the viewing-point on the mountain. The cuckoo was observed perched in the mid-story of a Casuarina tree, and was continuously fed by the pair of Leaf- warblers for a period of at least 10 min. Food was mainly small caterpillars. During the feeding the chick constantly shook its tail and wings but made no calls. After 10 min the young cuckoo flew off into the forest with the Leaf- warblers and was not seen again.
