Data on the composition and structure of a totaltor of 657 mixed- species foraging bird flocks were collected fi:om January to Decemcember, 2012 in Huai Kha Khaeng Wiidlife Sanctuary, Thailand. The flocks could be dividlivided into two types: those composed of small-sized birds and those composed of mediurrdium-sized birds. The species most prevalent in flocks included gregarious "leader"er" species, such as laughingtluLrshes (Garrulax spp.), the conspicuous anti-predaredator alalm-calling ''serltinel" species such as drongos (.Dictulus spp.). and the BlacBlack-naped Monarch (Hypothymis dzwea).

During the study a total of 3,555 no of individuals of 189 species of birds belonging to 43 families were recorded. The family Muscicapidae represented the highest species composition with 28 species followed by family Timaliidae and of MZU campus and its adjacent area, 31 (16.4%) species are winter visitors, 15 (7.9%) species are summer visitor, and two species namely, Hooded pitta (Pitta sordid) and Forest wagtail (Dendronanthus indicus) are passer migrants. The variation calculated was 3.286 and species evenness index was 0.62. The detailed of avian fauna of campus recoded and the need of conservation actions are discussed in length.

Summary 2. Study area 3. Avian fauna and conservation status of threatened bird species 4. Habitat analysis 5. Ecological assessment and community education 6. Outputs 7. Main references 8. Acknowledgements 1. Summary Laojunshan Nature Reserve is located at Yibin city, Sichuan province, south China. It belongs to eastern part of Liangshan mountains and is among the twenty-five hotspots of global biodiversity conservation. The local virgin alpine subtropical deciduous forests are abundant, which are actually rare at the same latitudes and harbor a tremendous diversity of plant and animal species. It is listed as a Global 200 ecoregion (WWF), an Important Bird Area (No. CN205), and an Endemic Bird Area (No. D14) (Stattersfield, et al . 1998). However, as a nature reserve newly built in 1999, it is only county-level and has no financial support from the central government. Especially, it is quite lack of scientific research, for example, the avifauna still remains unexplored except for some observations from bird watchers. Furthermore, the local community is extremely poor and facing modern development pressures, unmanaged human activities might seriously disturb the local ecosystem. We conducted our project from April to June 2007, funded by Conservation Leadership Programme. Two fieldwork strategies were used: “En bloc-Assessment” to produce an avifauna census and ecological assessments; "Special Survey" to assess the conservation status of some threatened endemic bird species.

    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.

    China Birding Report Template

    North Sichuan, Sichuan, China (Rouergai, Gezangjiaze and Jiuzhaigou 1-3 July 2006 The target bird of the weekend, a pair of Tibetan Grey Shrikes Björn Anderson General The purpose of this trip was two-fold. Primarily I wanted to see the Tibetan Grey Shrike (giganteus form of Chinese Grey Shrike) and secondly I wanted to survey an area of high altitude bamboo forest north of Jiuzhaigou to see if the lost Przewalski’s Parrotbill could be found. The high-light was of course the crippling views of the Tibetan Grey Shrike. I watched a pair around their nest for a long time and could take plenty of photos of this beast that most probably is a separate species. On the other end of the scale, it was a huge disappointment to find that all the nice bamboo had suffered from mass die-off. The habbo really looked ideal for the Parrotbill, but unfortunately there was nothing to be seen. Przewalski’s Parrotbill, known from only four sites ever and only one of those in modern times, therefore remains an enigma. A trip to this part of the world is however something truly spectacular when it comes to scenery. The vast rolling grasslands and hills on the Tibetan plateau must be some of the most awesome landscapes in Asia. In this area I saw plenty of the high altitude birds like Black-necked Crane, White-rumped Snowfinch, White-browed Tit, White-browed Tit-Warbler, Hume’s Groundpecker and Streaked Rosefinch. The second day I spent in high altitude forest at a seldom-visited part of Sichuan, which is along a road that reaches 3800 masl just south of Gezangjiaze.
