Participants were treated to an amazing number of star birds that included the critically endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper, Mountain Bamboo Partridge, Mrs Hume’s and Silver Pheasants, Siamese Fireback, Green Peafowl, Buffy Fish Owl, Gould’s and Blyth’s Frogmouths, the mythical Coral-billed Ground Cuckoo, Gurney’s, Malayan Banded, Blue, Rusty-naped and Mangrove Pittas, Ratchet-tailed Treepie, Slaty-bellied Tesia, Large, White-browed and Rusty-cheeked Scimitar Babblers, Limestone, Streaked, and Pygmy Wren-Babblers, Spot- breasted Laughingthrush, Scarlet-faced Liocichla, Grey-headed and Spot-breasted Parrotbills, Giant Nuthatch, Heart-spotted, White-bellied and Great Slaty Woodpeckers, Black-backed Forktail, Mrs Gould’s Sunbird, Malayan Night Heron and Nicobar Pigeon – to name just some of the many fantastic highlights! The tour in detail: Heading out early from the capital, Bangkok, through the bustling metropolis, we journeyed south towards the Gulf of Thailand. We were 14 excited birders starting a birding tour, but as we were leaving Bangkok, “disaster” struck: we realised that a camera had been left in the hotel toilets! A quick call to the hotel, a scooter driver was despatched, and the camera was returned to us. However this time was not wasted, and in a busy city street we watched our first Great Mynas, a Red Turtle Dove, Eurasian Tree Sparrows and Rock Doves. (The previous day half the group had been fortunate enough to see the highly wanted Spoon-billed Sandpiper, Asiatic Dowitcher and Nordmann’s Greenshank amongst many other more common species with two local bird guides.) After arriving at the shorebird centre we headed out to the nearby saltpans. Unusually, there were few waders around, possibly because an immature Brahminy Kite was lurking nearby. Within an hour, though, more waders had arrived and a joyous shout from Uthai signalled that he had found a Spoon-billed Sandpiper, much to the delight (and relief!) of our group! We all enjoyed good scope views of what is fast becoming one of the rarest waders in the world, and so it was an incredible honour Baan Pak Thale entrance sign by Bob Stamp for those who had made the journey to see it at its wintering grounds. Other waders seen here and at Laem Pak Bia included Great Knot and a couple of Red Knots, Black-tailed Godwit, Red-necked Stint, Marsh Sandpiper, Dunlin (a scarce winter visitor) and 300- plus Eurasian Curlews. It was amongst the latter flock, when in flight, that we also located two Far Eastern Curlews, a very unexpected find! Nearby at Laem Pak Bia, we also found many Long-toed Stints, Pacific Golden Plover and our second-most-sought-after species, Nordmann’s Greenshank RBT Thailand I Trip Report Feb/Mar 2013 3 (for those who hadn’t seen it the previous day). Here we enjoyed extended scope views and could compare these with the nearby Common Greenshanks. After lunch, we took a boat ride to a nearby beach where we were soon watching the newly described White-faced Plover (a species under taxonomic review), a few pairs of Malayan Plover, and both Greater and Lesser Crested Terns. On returning from the beach, we headed to the Kings Project and here had excellent views of Ruddy-breasted Crakes, Pin-tailed and Common Snipes, and even flushed two Greater Painted-snipes that couldn’t be relocated. After a long but very exciting day we headed to our lodge outside Kaeng Krachan NP. The next morning we departed for the upper hills of Kaeng Krachan NP, first stopping for a party of Great Slaty Woodpeckers that showed really well. Another quick stop yielded a flock of beautiful Silver-breasted Broadbills, the only sighting for the trip! From here we climbed up the bumpy road, listening to a variety of bird calls including Spangled Drongo and Blue-throated Barbet. About halfway up the mountain we hopped out the vehicle and encountered a cacophony White-throated Rock Thrush by Bob Stamp of birds and gibbons calling. The birding was fantastic over the next few hours, yielding huge Great Hornbills thundering overhead and down the valleys, scope views of stunning Red-headed Trogons, the localised Ratchet-tailed Treepie flashing his “ragged tail”, Black-crested Bulbul, Blue-eared Barbet and wintering Yellow-browed Warblers, amongst many others. The afternoon was much quieter but we did see the scarce Yellow-vented and Wedge-tailed Green Pigeons, lovely Blue-throated Barbet, Streaked Spiderhunter and Oriental Honey Buzzard. On leaving the park in the late afternoon, we found a huge Buffy Fish Owl hunting along some quieter pools near the road as well as an Asian Elephant, which was heading for the vehicles. We quickly departed as the situation appeared threatening, bringing the excitement of another jam-packed day to a finish. Our next full day in the park was spent at a lower elevation and here we found many more new species. The calls of Banded Bay, Asian Drongo and Violet Cuckoos filled the air, and after scoping these species, we were soon watching Sultan Tits, Asian Fairy Bluebirds, Kalij Pheasants, brief views of Black-thighed Falconets whizzing by, Tickell’s Brown Hornbills and more Great Hornbills. At a nearby stream we also enjoyed a variety of butterflies and damselflies clustered in Ratchet-tailed Treepie by Bob Stamp hundreds feeding at a muddy bank. It was here that we visited a roost of the rarely seen White-fronted Scops Owl and enjoyed very close looks at these highly sought-after species. In the late afternoon we then located a pair of beautiful RBT Thailand I Trip Report Feb/Mar 2013 4 Heart-spotted Woodpeckers and ended the day with a fine pair of Black-and-red Broadbills in the scope and yet another Asian Elephant, this time a bull alongside the road! The following day we took a long drive to Sab Sadou, a forest reserve consisting of dry woodland situated north-east of Bangkok. Our journey was broken midway by a few hours at some wetlands where we enjoyed good views of Blue-tailed Bee-eater, Golden Weaver, Bronze-winged Jacana, beautiful Cotton Pygmy Geese and, for half the group, a Cinnamon Bittern. We arrived at our lodge in the late afternoon and during dinner that evening, we heard a Great-eared Nightjar calling overhead. Very early the next day, we drove to Sab Sadou. Here we saw several range-restricted species including Black Baza, Black- hooded Oriole, Brown Prinia, Indochinese Cuckooshrike, the scarce Burmese Nuthatch and the huge and stunning White-bellied Woodpecker, which was scoped for all to enjoy. We also had great looks at Rufous-winged Buzzard Silver Pheasant by Bob Stamp and Chestnut-headed Bee-eaters. With temperatures rising, we packed up mid-morning and headed to Sakaerat Biosphere Reserve to escape the heat. Our target bird here was the fabulous Siamese Fireback and we were not disappointed as we had brilliant views of three males and a female bird only a short distance away in the forest. Red-breasted Parakeets were scoped and half the group saw Black-headed Woodpecker, albeit briefly, as it headed off quickly. In the late afternoon, we drove to our hotel on the outskirts of Khao Yai NP after another long but rewarding day. Heading off early in the morning, we drove through Khao Yai NP and up to the radar station. Here we spent the morning seeing a selection of new birds. Best of all were Black-throated Laughingthrush, Radde’s Warbler, Vernal Hanging Parrots whizzing by, White-bellied Epiornis, Golden- throated and Moustached Barbets and, on our drive down at lunchtime, we scored with a male Silver Pheasant leisurely crossing the road for all to enjoy – what an exceptionally beautiful bird! We were therefore Mugimaka Flycatcher by Bob Stamp quite surprised a little later to find two other males on the forest edge as well as a pair of Banded Broadbills and White-handed Gibbons – fantastic stuff! The next morning we spent a considerable time at a forested patch along the main road where, after hearing a Blue Pitta calling nearby, we spent quite a bit of time pursuing this bird. Eventually it paid off and the whole group saw it particularly well as it hopped and called on logs RBT Thailand I Trip Report Feb/Mar 2013 5 for all to enjoy! Shortly after this we tried for Coral-billed Ground Cuckoo along the road and we were again very surprised when a pair called behind us. Unfortunately, a bank blocked our views of the birds but, as luck would have it, they then ambled up to the edge of the bank to check us out!! What amazing luck to view this very scarce and localised species. After this success we continued our good fortune with an evening walk where we found Brown Hawk-Owl and Great-eared Nightjar – another fantastic to an exceptional day! The next day we flew to Chiang Mai in the north of the country.

Beginning our long journey south towards the hill forests surrounding the village of Mang Den, our first scheduled birding stop of the day produced the wanted target species in the form of White-faced Plover (a very distinctive, extremely localized, rare and often- split subspecies of Kentish Plover) along the beach adjacent to Bach Ma National Park. In the same area, we added our first of several Light-vented Bulbuls, a female Stejneger’s Stonechat and flocks of fly-over Grey-capped Greenfinches. Continuing west and then southwards, crossing over the Lo Xo Pass after a quick lunch-stop we had an hour or so to find the scarce and exceedingly range-restricted near-endemic Black-crowned Barwing. This good-looking and charismatic species was only discovered as recently as 1996 and is still only known from a tiny area in south-central Vietnam and southern Laos. We arrived in fine weather and were soon admiring several pairs and family groups of Black-collared Starling, as well as Scarlet Minivet, Streaked Spiderhunter, Black Bulbul, a wonderful perched Necklaced Barbet, a pair of Large Woodshrike and then finally, after a fair amount of searching in the now-degraded road- edge habitat, a glorious pair of Black-crowned Necklaced Barbet by Glen Valentine Rockjumper Birding Tours View more tours to Vietnam Trip Report – RBL Vietnam – Southern & Central Specialties 2020 3 Barwings.

  • Thailand Highlights 14Th to 26Th November 2019 (13 Days)
    Thailand Highlights 14th to 26th November 2019 (13 days) Trip Report Siamese Fireback by Forrest Rowland Trip report compiled by Tour Leader: Forrest Rowland Trip Report – RBL Thailand - Highlights 2019 2 Tour Summary Thailand has been known as a top tourist destination for quite some time. Foreigners and Ex-pats flock there for the beautiful scenery, great infrastructure, and delicious cuisine among other cultural aspects. For birders, it has recently caught up to big names like Borneo and Malaysia, in terms of respect for the avian delights it holds for visitors. Our twelve-day Highlights Tour to Thailand set out to sample a bit of the best of every major habitat type in the country, with a slight focus on the lush montane forests that hold most of the country’s specialty bird species. The tour began in Bangkok, a bustling metropolis of winding narrow roads, flyovers, towering apartment buildings, and seemingly endless people. Despite the density and throng of humanity, many of the participants on the tour were able to enjoy a Crested Goshawk flight by Forrest Rowland lovely day’s visit to the Grand Palace and historic center of Bangkok, including a fun boat ride passing by several temples. A few early arrivals also had time to bird some of the urban park settings, even picking up a species or two we did not see on the Main Tour. For most, the tour began in earnest on November 15th, with our day tour of the salt pans, mudflats, wetlands, and mangroves of the famed Pak Thale Shore bird Project, and Laem Phak Bia mangroves.

Legendary and iconic avian gems such as Giant and White- shouldered Ibis, White-rumped Falcon, Bengal Florican, Greater Adjutant, Black-headed, Great Slaty and Pale-headed Woodpeckers, Germain’s Peacock-Pheasant, Green Peafowl, Bar-bellied Pitta, Red-vented and Indochinese Barbets, Dalat Shrike-babbler, Indochinese Green Magpie, Red-billed Scimitar Babbler, Grey-crowned Crocias by Luyen Nguyen Orange-breasted and Collared Laughingthrushes, Vietnamese Cutia, Grey-crowned Crocias, Yellow-billed Nuthatch and Vietnamese Greenfinch are just some of the many mouth-watering highlights available on this superb birding adventure. We managed to find and obtain good views of all of these species and many more during our challenging but rewarding Cambodia and Vietnam birding tour. This was our adventure… After our pre-tour extension of remote eastern Cambodia, where we enjoyed sightings of such mega-ticks as Cambodian Tailorbird, Mekong Wagtail, Pied Harrier, Great Hornbill, Milky Stork and Irrawaddy Dolphin, we began our main 2 ½ week tour of these two neighbouring countries. The trip focused on the best birding localities and targeted the endemics, near- endemics and other sought-after species on offer in each country.

  • A Global Study of the Distribution and Richness of Alien Bird Species
    A global study of the distribution and richness of alien bird species Ellie E. Dyer A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London Centre for Biodiversity and Environment Research (CBER) within the Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment (GEE) University College London November 4, 2015 Declaration I, Ellie Eveness Dyer, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Ellie Dyer, 4th November 2015 2 Abstract Alien species are a major component of human-induced environmental change, yet spatial and temporal variation in the drivers of their introduction, and their subsequent distribution and richness, are poorly understood. Here, I present a global analysis of the drivers of this variation for a major animal group, birds (Class Aves), using the newly-created Global Avian Invasions Atlas (GAVIA) database. GAVIA includes information on introduction successes and failures, enabling me to examine the effect of colonisation pressure (the number of species introduced) on alien bird distributions. A description of the GAVIA database is given in Chapter 2, with details on its scope and sources, data collation and validation, and the production of alien range maps. Chapter 3 focuses on the early stages of the invasion pathway, and shows that historical introductions tend to originate in Europe, were driven by the global movements of British colonialism, and involved species deemed useful. Modern introductions, in contrast, tend to originate in Southeast Asia and Africa, are driven by factors associated with wealth, and involve species found in the pet trade.

    CENTRAL AND NORTHERN THAILAND CUSTOM TOUR TRIP REPORT 24 FEBRUARY – 15 MARCH 2019 By Andy Walker We saw a couple of Banded Kingfishers during the tour, fantastic-looking birds. www.birdingecotours.com [email protected] 2 | TRIP REPORT Thailand: Central and North, Feb-Mar 2019 Overview This three-week custom birdwatching tour of Central and Northern Thailand commenced in Bangkok on the 24th of February 2019 and ended back there on the 15th of March 2019. The tour was based on our Central and Northern Thailand set-departure itineraries with a few slight modifications to fit the timescale allowed. We birded areas around the Gulf of Thailand for shorebirds and Kaeng Krachan and Khao Yai National Parks in the central region before flying north for a birding circuit from and back to Chiang Mai, which included visits to Doi Inthanon and Doi Pha Hom Pok National Parks (Doi Lang and Doi Ang Khang), Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary, and Chiang Saen Lake. We also visited a couple of incredible temples along the way. A total of 442 bird species were seen (plus 4 species heard only). Full species lists are provided at the end of this report. Highlight birds seen were many and during our time in the central Thailand region included a couple of Spoon-billed Sandpipers, a large flock of Nordmann’s Greenshanks, and hundreds of Terek Sandpipers on the saltpans among about 40 species of shorebirds, with several ‘White- faced’ Kentish Plovers, Malaysian Plovers, and Chinese Egrets on the nearby beach. A lake and rice fields near the coast hosted Spot-billed Pelican, Asian Dowitcher, Greater Spotted Eagle, and Black-headed Ibis.

Participants were treated to an amazing number of star birds including Spoon-billed Sandpiper, Nordmann’s Greenshank, Pallas’s Gull, Mountain Bamboo Partridge, Mrs. Hume’s and Silver Pheasants, Siamese Fireback, Green Peafowl, Grey Peacock-Pheasant, Jerdon’s Baza, Black-tailed Crake, Great and Wreathed Hornbills, Hodgson’s and Blyth’s Frogmouths, Barred Eagle-Owl, Spotted Wood and Brown Wood Owl and the near mythical Oriental Bay Owl, stunning Malayan Banded, Blue, Rusty-naped and Mangrove Pittas, Ratchet-tailed Treepie, Limestone, Streaked, Eye- browed and Pygmy Wren-Babblers, Scarlet-faced Liocichla, Grey-headed and Spot-breasted Parrotbills, Giant Nuthatch, Slaty, Heart-spotted, White-bellied and Black-headed Woodpeckers, Sultan Tit, Chestnut-naped Forktail, Mrs. Gould’s Sunbird, and Nicobar Pigeon. Daily Diary A tense but excited group of birders arrived at Pak Thale, famous for its wintering wader flocks. Within half an hour, we were watching the target of our long journey here to the Gulf of Thailand – the critically endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper. We were a relieved and happy group of birders to witness that this species still visits this area annually. There have been several positive outcomes with the captive breeding programme, as one of the birds had a leg flag! A short while later it was joined by a second bird.

  • An Overlooked and Threatened Farmland Bird
    THE ORIENTAL SKYLARK ALAUDA GULGULA IN LAOS: AN OVERLOOKED AND THREATENED FARMLAND BIRD. J. W. DUCKWORTH1 RÉSUMÉ. — L’Alouette gulgule Alauda gulgula au Laos : un oiseau rural menacé et passé inaperçu. — Cette alouette ne fut découverte au Laos qu’en 1997 mais était probablement restée inaperçue par le passé. Elle a depuis été notée en beaucoup d’endroits de la plaine de Vientiane, et dans quatre sites ailleurs dans la plaine du Mékong, sur un plateau herbeux et un aéroport de moyenne altitude. Toutes les localités sont en terrain plat. Toutes les zones de reproduction connues ont des étendues d’herbes clairsemées basses ou du moins peu hautes durant le milieu et la fi n de la saison sèche quand, contrairement aux passereaux sympatriques, l’espèce niche. Des observations au long de l’année en dix sites non forestiers de la plaine de Ventiane n’ont révélé la reproduction qu’en deux de ces sites qui, tous les deux, présentaient des rizières (monoculture non intense) proches d’étendues d’eau permanentes. Ces alouettes ne nichèrent pas dans deux sites caractérisés par des rizières irriguées de saison sèche, ni dans deux autres avec une monoculture de riz loin de l’eau, ni dans encore deux autres où le lit du Mékong était largement exondé en saison sèche. Ailleurs au Laos il n’y a pas d’observations dans les vastes prairies sèches secondarisées des collines ni dans les prairies naturelles au milieu de la forêt décidue à Diptérocarpacées. Si, dans tout le Laos, l’espèce n’occupe que des habitats comme ceux de la plaine de Ventiane, elle se trouve soumise à de sévères menaces dues à l’intensifi cation agricole qui a cours.
