    Melanesia Secrets Solomon Islands and Vanuatu 20th to 31st October 2017 (12 days) Trip Report White-headed Fruit Dove by Stephan Lorenz Trip report compiled by Tour Leader, Stephan Lorenz Rockjumper Birding Tours | Melanesia www.rockjumperbirding.com Trip Report – RBL Melanesia - Secrets 2017 2 Tour Summary Starting in the Solomon Islands and finishing in Vanuatu, the cruise explored some true secrets of Melanesia, including visits to incredibly remote islands that harbour many seldom-seen endemics. In total, we covered about 1,200 nautical miles, visited 11 islands with more than a dozen landings, and recorded 118 species of birds, with several rare species of bats also noted. At sea, we enjoyed several hours of excellent pelagic birding. The tour started on Guadalcanal, where we spent a morning in the classic birding spot of Mt Austen, gathering up a fine selection of widespread Solomon endemics, plus a Black-headed Myzomela – a Guadalcanal endemic. From here, we cruised north overnight to land on the rarely-visited and even more rarely birded San Jorge Island, where we caught up with the endemic Solomons Cuckooshrike and White- billed Crow, both sought-after species. The following day, we landed on mysterious Malaita, which holds some of the most remote and inaccessible highland areas in the Solomons. We enjoyed a morning birding Nendo Flying Fox by Stephan Lorenz along an easily accessible logging track, where the very rare Red-vested Myzomela was the highlight of the morning. The island of Makira is home to several endemics, and we set forth finding a good number of them, with Makira Honeyeater, an endemic genus, especially memorable.

  • A New Species of White-Eye Zosterops and Notes on Other Birds From
    Ibis (2008), 150, 698–706 Blackwell PublishingA Ltd new species of White-eye Zosterops and notes on other birds from Vanikoro, Solomon Islands GUY DUTSON* c/o 1 High Way, Broadstone, Dorset BH18 9NB, UK A new species of white-eye, the Vanikoro White-eye Zosterops gibbsi, is described from the island of Vanikoro (= Vanikolo) in the Santa Cruz Islands (= Temotu Province) within the Solomon Islands. It differs from the geographically closest white-eye, the Santa Cruz White-eye Zosterops sanctaecrucis, by a number of features including a much longer bill, and different leg- and eye-ring colour. This is the second bird species endemic to Vanikoro; the neighbouring Nendo Island supports three endemic species. Although the conservation status of this species appears to be secure, the Santa Cruz Islands are very poorly known. Despite supporting several globally threatened species, the Islands at present are not protected by any conservation activity. Keywords: biogeography, endemic bird, Santa Cruz Islands, Vanikolo. Despite occurring on nearly all large South Pacific 7 November, the day after moving to my next base, Islands, the genus Zosterops was until recently Lavaka village.

  • "Coral" Islands: Data from the Bahamas and Oceania
    ADAPTATION AND EXCHANGES ON "CORAL" ISLANDS: DATA FROM THE BAHAMAS AND OCEANIA Frank R. Thomas This paper constitutes an attempt at delineating similarities and differences among prehistoric cultural traditions in insular tropical environments. While it has often been suggested that the amount and quality of ethnohistoric and linguistic coverage in the Caribbean area are a poor reflection of the types of information available for Oceania, the interest in subsurface investigations in the latter region (on atolls) is barely two decades old. Until the mid-1970s much of Micronesia was terra- incognita, and there are still many islands, particularly in the atoll/ raised coral categories awaiting the spade of the archaeologist. The fact that "true" atolls are absent in the West Indies should not divert us from the potential contributions that might arise in comparing human adaptation to constraints imposed by calcareous environments. On several occasions, Watters (1981, 1982, 1983) drew attention to the advances made by Pacific archaeologists in the area of subsistence; we might also add social organization and social complexity. Because of various limitations in the use of ethnographic data by their Caribbean counterparts and the benign neglect of a "seaward perspective", it was concluded that much could be learned from the work being accomplished in Oceania. THE INSULAR SETTING In order to select geological units that are comparable, one also needs to consider the quality of both ethnographic and archaeological sequences, as well as the areal distribution of coral islands. In effect, this study focuses on three "Coral Clusters" or "Coral Complexes'' for which there is a fairly adequate record of prehistoric and protohistoric cultural develop­ ments.

  • Solomon Islands Earthquake and Tsunami Situation Report No. 3 (As
    Solomon Islands: Earthquake and Tsunami Situation Report No. 3 (as of 8 February 2013) This report is produced by OCHA Regional Office for the Pacific in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It was issued by OCHA Regional Office for the Pacific. It covers a period from 7 to 8 February 2013. The next report will be issued on or around 11 February 2013. Highlights Solomon Islands Government has declared a State of Disaster for Santa Cruz Islands in Temotu Province Nine people have been confirmed dead 700 households have been affected, displacing 3,500 people The first relief supplies along with assessment and medical personnel arrived in Temotu Province this afternoon 700 3,500 9 people households people confirmed dead affected displaced Situation Overview The Solomon Islands Government has declared a State of Disaster for Santa Cruz Islands in Temotu Province following Wednesday’s 8.0 magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami. The Solomon Islands Government hopes the official declaration will mobilize more domestic and international support. In addition to the declaration, the National Disaster Council approved a budget of US$139,000 for response efforts. The National Disaster Management Office has only received information on damages from some areas of Temotu Province and little information has been received from the Reef Islands and Utupua. In addition, no reports have been received from the Santa Cruz Weather Coast, Tikopia and Anuta. There remains concern for these areas where no contact has been received. The ongoing seismic activity around the Santa Cruz Islands and the difficultly in accessing the area remain a challenge.

Takapoto Atoll TAKAPOTO ATOLL, TUAMOTU ARCHIPELAGO: TERRESTRIAL VEGETATION AND FLORA INTRODUCTION The Man and the Biosphere (MAB) programme of UNESCO, first thought of in 1968, launched in 1970 and endorsed by the Stockholm Conference of 1972, includes a number of scientific projects, of which No. 7 is de- voted to the Ecology and Rational Utilization of Island Ecosystems. All the programmes are to be interdisciplinary and intergovernmental. Among member countries which developed their own national plans within the framework of the separate MAB projects, France drafted a vigorous one in MAB 7 in French Polynesia, under the leadership of Dr. B. Salvat (1977). The French programme includes a detailed study of an atoll, Takapoto in the Tuamotus, and comparison of its ecosystems and their functioning with those of a high island already under scrutiny, Moorea in the Society Islands. Teams of over 40 scientists representing many disciplines visited Takapoto over a period of several years (1974-1976). Several research organisations participated, in some cases bending their own study goals to fit the MAB-7 framework, so that an extensive body of information has become available and lends itself to integration and synthesis. Pre- liminary reports, as well as some final papers have been published. I was already in SE Polynesia in 1974-75 and it was arranged that I would visit Takapoto in Dec. 1974 to study its flora and vegetation.
