I wish you a productive year of excellent birding. I trust you all went out birding over the last few months. I enjoyed meeting up with Roadrunnners, Cardinals and other Arizona birds for 6weeks. This year is going to be a very busy one for the Lakes Bird Club. You will recently have received notice that the Garden Route District Municipality is to take part in the City Nature Challenge, which was won by Cape Town last year. It is done under the umbrella :www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2020-garden-route-district-municipality. Although it is primarily based on photographs, which can include plants, insects, butterflies, fish, etc can all be recorded. For birds, if two people agree on a sighting it will be accepted. I really urge members to get involved and I need one or two champions to be prepared to run with it as Louw Claassens of the Knysna Basin Project will be co-ordinating the various clubs and organisations that are taking part. Please contact me if you are prepared to do anything, as I am tied up with other projects. The next big event is the Flock to Wilderness (the Annual General Meeting of Birdlife South Africa) at the Wilderness Hotel on the weekend of 29th – 31st May. The A.G.M. will take place at 10.00 am on Saturday 30th followed by a lunch. Mark Anderson (CEO of BLSA) is counting on at least 50 members of the LBC attending both events, so please come along to meet some of the interesting people that you may have read about. Your committee is organising and leading a series of bird walks together with Birdlife Plettenberg Bay and Nature’s Valley Trust on the Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. We, will also have a table at the venue to sell our cards and stickers. January 2021 will see the long-awaited Flock to Marion taking place. I am sure you have all seen the details that Steve has been sending out and I know that a lot of members have already booked. The cabins are selling out fast, so if you want to be part of this historic event, go to the Birdlife website for details. It is going to be a Once in a Lifetime Event. Since our last newsletter the following have joined the Club: Pieter and Marietta Westerberg and Claire Clarke from Sedgefield and Alison du Plessis and Gavin and Anne O’Connell-Jones from George. I look forward to meeting you and I hope you will enjoy all the activities. Your Committee will be getting together soon to draft our programme for the next few months. After the wonderful recent rains, a lot of the venues should have recovered from the drought and the fires. If you have any suggestions for venues and an Away Trip later this year, please contact me. The same goes for interesting speakers for our winter indoor meetings. I urge you all to get out and enjoy the incredible birdlife on our Garden Route and keep your eyes open for any rare or vagrant birds that may pitch up. Pat Nurse. Great Horned Owl JANUARY 2020 The Lakes Bird Club Newsletter EDITORIAL The month of January 2020 has already passed, but the good news is that we have a further eleven months of, hopefully, good birding ahead of us. We wish you a year of enjoyable birding. As Pat mentioned in her Chirp, 2020 appears to be going to become a busy birding year, with lots to look forward to. Please take Pat’s requests seriously with regards to suggested new outing venues and for an away outing. It is indeed a privilege for the Club to “host” Flock at Wilderness in May, hopefully this event will be well supported by all of our members. When we attempted to book for Flock to Marian Island in January 2021 a couple of days after bookings opened for Birdlife members, there were no longer rooms {cabins} with a sea view. However inside rooms were still available. This is an event that will possibly never be repeated and presents an amazing opportunity for all who are privileged to be part of this historic event. Once again Club members assisted the Wilderness SANParks Honorary Rangers during their annual Birding Experience from Ebb & Flow Rest Camp. Various groups, mainly people with a limited knowledge of birds, were taken on walks to identify birds. Peter Ginn presented well attended bird identification courses. This event was well organised and proved to be a great success. One way we can assist in the conservation of birds and the environment as a whole, is to allow our enthusiasm for birds to enthuse others in appreciating the birds we are able to enjoy and trust that future generations will also be able to enjoy. Once again, we wish to express our appreciation to all who have contributed either writeups, photographs and interesting birding experiences for inclusion in the Newsletter. With so much happening since the last Newsletter in September 2019, it is going to be a major undertaking to remember everything, and therefor if we have inadvertently excluded a contribution of yours, our sincere apology. We don’t normally include anything that has already been posted on any of the social media platforms. Any suggestions for improving the newsletter will be most welcome. Cecil & Else Hiscock White- breasted Cormorant OUTINGS Plettenberg Bay, 7 September 2019 On what must be one of the most beautiful days of the year thus far, 19 club members gathered at Old Nick’s in Plettenberg Bay for an outing to the Gansvallei Water Purification Works, Twin Rivers Estate on the Bitou River, and the Plettenberg Bay Game Park. Mike Bridgeford, the President of the Plettenberg Bay Bird Club, was kind enough to lead the group and to take us to some well- known birding spots during the course of the morning. We started off at Gansvallei which hosted a number of duck species, including Yellow-billed, Cape and Red-billed Teal, and Cape Shoveler. Pied, Giant and Brown-hooded Kingfishers were in attendance, and the bush around the dams revealed Southern boubou, Bar-throated Apalis, Cape Batis and an Olive Bushshrike. White-throated Swallows were in abundance and a Greater Striped Swallow was spotted as we were leaving the facility. Pat Nurse heard the call of the African Goshawk above, and there above us, just visible, was this active little bird calling and displaying for all it was worth. On the way up to the Plettenberg Bay Game Farm, Mike stopped to show us all the nesting Blue Cranes on a narrow spit of land in the Bitouvlei Private Nature Reserve. This breeding pair has been observed nesting in this same site for 10 years now, and have raised many chicks. The adults have returned each year and at the time of our visit, had been brooding their eggs for 19 days. It was thought that the eggs might have been hatching out as we were watching but we could not confirm that. I visited the site again on the way back from a visit to the Birds of Eden, on the following Thursday and two chicks were active around the nest. Before we arrived at the game park, we spotted a pair of Denham’s Bustard in the farm lands. We were hoping for a Ludwig’s Bustard, but the Denham’s was a great sighting nonetheless. At the game park, besides the Cape Longclaw, there were a couple of casual sightings of a white rhino, a group of African elephants, some rather unearthly looking “golden wildebeest”, the odd giraffe, and one lonely gemsbok, and a host of black springbok. One wonders what is wrong with our naturally bred wildlife. What on earth do the foreign tourists make of these odd-looking hybrids – or might they not know any better? The group spent some time on the spit of land behind Twin Rivers Estate, where there was an abundance of water birds, including a Common Whimbrel, African Spoonbills, and African Fish Eagle, White-breasted, Cape, and Reed Cormorants, Grey and Kittlitz’s Plovers, and many more – what a fantastic place to be on such an exquisite morning. Those who stayed on, enjoyed a picnic lunch together at Cape Nature’s little facility on the East Bank of the Keurbooms River, where we spotted the much sought after Pied Wagtail. Our bird list for the day was 74 birds. This was a really enjoyable outing. Clive Watson JANUARY 2020 The Lakes Bird Club Newsletter Little Egret Blue Crane turning eggs Stilbaai - Botterkloof Resort 17 -20 October 2019 Day 1 Twenty members arrived to a sunny sky and light breeze. The late afternoon was spent walking around the resort which has established trees, shrubs and lawns ticking House Sparrow, Greater Striped Swallow, Cape White-eye, sunbirds Malachite and Greater Double-Collared attracted by the flowering aloes. The green lawns/borders provided food for Olive Thrush, Common Waxbill and Cape Robin-Chat while a Mallard floated on one of the ponds. Tall trees behind the accommodation gave up several nesting Black-crowned Night-Herons along with Black- headed Heron.

  • Bolivia: the Andes and Chaco Lowlands
    BOLIVIA: THE ANDES AND CHACO LOWLANDS TRIP REPORT OCTOBER/NOVEMBER 2017 By Eduardo Ormaeche Blue-throated Macaw www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | T R I P R E P O R T Bolivia, October/November 2017 Bolivia is probably one of the most exciting countries of South America, although one of the less-visited countries by birders due to the remoteness of some birding sites. But with a good birding itinerary and adequate ground logistics it is easy to enjoy the birding and admire the outstanding scenery of this wild country. During our 19-day itinerary we managed to record a list of 505 species, including most of the country and regional endemics expected for this tour. With a list of 22 species of parrots, this is one of the best countries in South America for Psittacidae with species like Blue-throated Macaw and Red-fronted Macaw, both Bolivian endemics. Other interesting species included the flightless Titicaca Grebe, Bolivian Blackbird, Bolivian Earthcreeper, Unicolored Thrush, Red-legged Seriema, Red-faced Guan, Dot-fronted Woodpecker, Olive-crowned Crescentchest, Black-hooded Sunbeam, Giant Hummingbird, White-eared Solitaire, Striated Antthrush, Toco Toucan, Greater Rhea, Brown Tinamou, and Cochabamba Mountain Finch, to name just a few. We started our birding holiday as soon as we arrived at the Viru Viru International Airport in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, birding the grassland habitats around the terminal. Despite the time of the day the airport grasslands provided us with an excellent introduction to Bolivian birds, including Red-winged Tinamou, White-bellied Nothura, Campo Flicker, Chopi Blackbird, Chotoy Spinetail, White Woodpecker, and even Greater Rhea, all during our first afternoon.

  • Peru: from the Cusco Andes to the Manu
    The critically endangered Royal Cinclodes - our bird-of-the-trip (all photos taken on this tour by Pete Morris) PERU: FROM THE CUSCO ANDES TO THE MANU 26 JULY – 12 AUGUST 2017 LEADERS: PETE MORRIS and GUNNAR ENGBLOM This brand new itinerary really was a tour of two halves! For the frst half of the tour we really were up on the roof of the world, exploring the Andes that surround Cusco up to altitudes in excess of 4000m. Cold clear air and fantastic snow-clad peaks were the order of the day here as we went about our task of seeking out a number of scarce, localized and seldom-seen endemics. For the second half of the tour we plunged down off of the mountains and took the long snaking Manu Road, right down to the Amazon basin. Here we traded the mountainous peaks for vistas of forest that stretched as far as the eye could see in one of the planet’s most diverse regions. Here, the temperatures rose in line with our ever growing list of sightings! In all, we amassed a grand total of 537 species of birds, including 36 which provided audio encounters only! As we all know though, it’s not necessarily the shear number of species that counts, but more the quality, and we found many high quality species. New species for the Birdquest life list included Apurimac Spinetail, Vilcabamba Thistletail, Am- pay (still to be described) and Vilcabamba Tapaculos and Apurimac Brushfnch, whilst other montane goodies included the stunning Bearded Mountaineer, White-tufted Sunbeam the critically endangered Royal Cinclodes, 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Peru: From the Cusco Andes to The Manu 2017 www.birdquest-tours.com These wonderful Blue-headed Macaws were a brilliant highlight near to Atalaya.

  • Birding Trip Ecuador 25 June-25 July 2014
    Birding Trip Ecuador 25 june-25 july 2014 By Daniel Arias, Gabriel Marcacci1 , Julien Mazenauer and Chris Venetz Introduction During august 2013, we decided to organise on our own a 1-month birding trip through Ecuador that would take place during june and july 2014. We were lucky to meet Daniel Arias (a young Ecuadorian birdwatcher) in Switzerland 8 month before the trip. We discussed with him and he was very interested by folllowing us for the whole trip to discover the best spots of his country. Our main goal was to find the numerous typical Andean birds such as Andean Condor, Andean Ibis, Giant Conebill, Rufous-bellied Seedsnipe and of course some endemic targets like Violet-throated Metaltail, Jocotoco Antpitta, El Oro Parakeet, etc. Indeed we wanted to see as much species as possible during 1 month, by visiting the best parts of the whole country, from the far north to the far south. Daniel was back in Ecuador several months before our trip and could arrange a rental car and some accomodations for us. To plan everything, we used the very good website of Lelis Navarrete ‘Where to find birds in Ecuador’ (birdsinecuador.com). You will find almost every good spots with maps, explanations on access roads, the major targets, etc. Thanks to the incredible job that did Lelis, birding the whole Ecuador became accessible to everyone! If you hesitate on going on your own for such a trip, don’t hesitate anymore, Ecuador is an easy birding destination! The directions are often well indicated. We also used many trip reports found on Cloudbirders (www.cloudbirders.com) and one good trip report sent by a danish friend (just ask if you would like to read it).

However, this trip is far from only an Amazonian tour, as it started high in Andes (before making its way down there some days later), above the treeline at Antisana National Park, where we saw Ecuador’s national bird, the Andean Condor, in addition to Ecuadorian Hillstar, 1 www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] Page Tropical Birding Trip Report EASTERN ECUADOR October-November 2016 Carunculated Caracara, Black-faced Ibis, Silvery Grebe, and Giant Hummingbird. Staying high up in the paramo grasslands that dominate above the treeline, we visited the Papallacta area, which led us to different high elevation species, like Giant Conebill, Tawny Antpitta, Many-striped Canastero, Blue-mantled Thornbill, Viridian Metaltail, Scarlet-bellied Mountain-Tanager, and Andean Tit-Spinetail. Our lodging area, Guango, was also productive, with White-capped Dipper, Torrent Duck, Buff-breasted Mountain Tanager, Slaty Brushfinch, Chestnut-crowned Antpitta, as well as hummingbirds like, Long-tailed Sylph, Tourmaline Sunangel, Glowing Puffleg, and the odd- looking Sword-billed Hummingbird. Having covered these high elevation, temperate sites, we then drove to another lodge (San Isidro) downslope in subtropical forest lower down.
