  • Zambia and Namibia a Tropical Birding Custom Trip
    Zambia and Namibia A Tropical Birding Custom Trip October 31 to November 17, 2009 Guide: Ken Behrens All photos by Ken Behrens unless noted otherwise All Namibia and most Zambia photos taken during this trip INTRODUCTION Southern Africa offers a tremendous diversity of habitats, birds, and mammals, and this tour experienced nearly the full gamut: from the mushitus of northern Zambia, with their affinity to the great Congolese rainforests, to the bare dunes and gravel plains of the Namib desert. This was a custom tour with dual foci: a specific list of avian targets for Howard and good general mammal viewing for Diane. On both fronts, we were highly successful. We amassed a list of 479 birds, including a high proportion of Howard’s targets. Of course, this list could have been much higher, had the focus been general birding rather than target birding. ‘Mammaling’ was also fantastic, with 51 species seen. We enjoyed an incredible experience of one of the greatest gatherings of mammals on earth: a roost of straw-coloured fruit bats in Zambia that includes millions of individuals. In Namibia’s Etosha National Park, it was the end of the dry season, and any place with water had mammals in incredible concentrations. The undoubted highlight there was seeing lions 5 different times, including a pride with a freshly killed rhino and a female that chased and killed a southern oryx, then shared it with her pride. In Zambia, much of our birding was in miombo, a type of broadleaf woodland that occurs in a broad belt across south / central Africa, and that has a large set of specialty birds.

It also serves as a compact record of your African journey for future reference that hopefully sparks interest in other wildlife spheres when you return home or when travelling elsewhere on our fragile planet. Although always exciting to see, especially for the first-time Africa visitor, once you move beyond the cliché of the ‘Big Five’ you will soon realise that our wilderness areas offer much more than certain flagship animal species. Africa’s large mammals are certainly a big attraction that one never tires of, but it’s often the smaller mammals, diverse birdlife and incredible reptiles that draw one back again and again for another unparalleled visit. Seeing a breeding herd of elephant for instance will always be special but there is a certain thrill in seeing a Lichtenstein’s hartebeest, cheetah or a Lilian’s lovebird – to name but a few. As a globally discerning traveller, look beyond the obvious, and challenge yourself to learn as much about all wildlife aspects and the ecosystems through which you will travel on your safari.

  • Birds of Alsalam and Abyei–Muglad Principalities West Kordofan State, Sudan Zuheir Nour El Dayem Mahmoud*
    Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences Abbreviated Key Title: Sch Acad J Biosci ISSN 2347-9515 (Print) | ISSN 2321-6883 (Online) Zoology Journal homepage: https://saspublishers.com/sajb/ Birds of Alsalam and Abyei–Muglad Principalities West Kordofan State, Sudan Zuheir Nour El Dayem Mahmoud* Department of Zoology, Faculty of Science, University of Khartoum DOI: 10.36347/sajb.2020.v08i04.002 | Received: 19.03.2020 | Accepted: 26.03.2020 | Published: 08.04.2020 *Corresponding author: Zuheir Nour El Dayem Mahmoud Abstract Original Research Article The avifauna of West Kordofan received very little attention. The present study aimed to contribute to birds species recorded for the area and Sudan. Observations were made during May 2011, September 2014, October 2016 and 2019 and facilitated by using a binocular. Documentation was made by a Nikon digital camera. The avifauna of western Kordofan included 78 out of the 653 species recorded for Sudan. The non-passerines species were 55 and the passerines were 23. The order Passeriformes was the largest including 9 families and 23 species. Most Accipitridae, except Milvius migrans, were categorized as endangered or critically endangered; The Secretary Bird (Sagittarius serpentarius) as vagrant; and the Arabian Bustard (Ardeotis arabs), Curlew Sandpiper (Calidris ferruginea) and the African Skimmer (Himantopus flavirostris) as near threatened. The abundance scale adopted in this study ranked these bird species as uncommon. The study concluded that more attention to be paid for studying birds of Sudan especially in conflict and oil fields areas. Keywords: Birds, Status, Abundance, West Kordofan, Sudan.
