  • Borneo Trip Report Kinabatangan, Gomantang, Sepilok, Klias & Ba
    Borneo Trip Report Kinabatangan, Gomantang, Sepilok, Klias & Ba’Kelalan 9-17 March 2020 John Rogers, Neil Broekhuizen Guided by: BirdTour Asia, Wilbur Goh (Sabah) and Yeo Siew Teck (Sarawak) Overview A very successful 8 day trip covering the Kinabatangan River (as well as Gomantang Cave and Sepilok) in north-east Sabah, an afternoon and evening at the Klias Swamp Forest reserve in south-west Sabah and three days at Ba’Kelalan in north-east Sarawak, We began with 3 full days based at the Myne Resort on the Kinabatangan river. The highlight was undoubtedly spectacular views of a male Bornean Ground Cuckoo. Other highlights at Kinabatangan included great night birding that yielded Large Frogmouth, Reddish Scops Owl and Oriental Bay Owl and other good diurnal birds included the much-desired Storm’s Stork, White-crowned and Wrinkled Hornbills and Sabah (Chestnut-necklaced) Partridge. After a brief visit to the Gomantang Caves we had one night at Sepilok and then a productive morning’s birding with Bornean Bristlehead and the scarce Olive-backed Woodpecker the main highlights. We then flew to Kota Kinabulu and drove the Klias swamp forest reserve where we were successful in seeing the main target; Hook-billed Bulbul. That afternoon and evening we drove into Sarawak and after one night in the regional town of Lawas caught a small flight to Ba’Kelalan. Our three days of birding was spectacular with good views of all 7 of the ‘Sarawak specials’: we were very excited to finally see Hose’s Broadbill after many hours of searching with Dulit and Bornean Frogmouths, Blue-banded and Bornean Banded Pittas, Whitehead’s Spiderhunter and Mountain Serpent Eagle rounding out the target list.

Summary Sichuan is a marvellous part of China with spectacular scenery, fine food and wonderful wildlife. We had a rich variety of mammals and birds on this trip. Mammals included Red Panda, Golden Snub-nosed Monkey, the endemic Chinese Desert Cat, Pallas’s Cat on two days, including during the daytime. The “golden fleece animal” –Takin never fails to attract the regular attention of cameras. A good range of bird species, including several endemics, was also recorded and one lucky group member now has Temminck’s Tragopan on his list. Day 1 Saturday 9th November The Cathay Pacific flight from Heathrow to Hong Kong had its usual good selection of films and decent food. Day 2 Sunday 10th November The group of three from London, became seven when we met the others at the gate for the connecting flight to Chengdu the following morning. Unfortunately, the flight was delayed by an hour but we had the compensation of warm, sunny weather at Chengdu where we met up with our local guide Sid. After a couple of hours of driving, we arrived at our hotel in Dujiangyan.

  • Chinese Pond Heron
    Chinese Pond Heron Ardeola Bacchus Category A Very rare vagrant 1 record As shown in the map below (hbw, no date), the breeding range extends from eastern India north- eastwards across most of eastern China, north to Beidaihe, Hebei Province. The species winters in the south of the breeding range and in South East Asia, south to Indonesia (Sumatra), Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines, though the extent of the wintering range is hard to determine due to overlap with similar species such as Javan Pond Heron. The northern birds are more migratory, with the southern breeders less so, so the northern birds ‘leapfrog’ the southern ones to winter in the more southerly regions. It is abundant through most of its core distribution, and is stated to be expanding its range (Heron Conservation, no date, a). Chinese Pond Heron at Hythe (Paul Rowe) There are a series of records of dispersal and vagrancy. To the east these include three sightings of breeding plumaged adults in Alaska: at Antone Lake, St. Paul Islands, Pribilof Islands on the 4th to 9th August 1996, on Attu Island, Aleutians West on the 20th May 2010, and at Gambell, St. Lawrence Island on the 14th to 15th July 2011. The spring bird was considered likely to be a drift vagrant, and the late summer birds also may have been assisted by tropical storms moving north-east off the Asian coast (Howell et al, 2014). To the south birds have reached Christmas Island in March 2008 and June 2011, the Cocos Keeling Islands in May 2006 and Broome in Western Australia in March 2008, (Birding-Aus, 2008).

  • Chinese Pond Heron Ardeola Bacchus Nimiliaca Wetland Broome Western Australia 29/03/2008
    Chinese Pond Heron Ardeola bacchus Nimiliaca Wetland Broome Western Australia 29/03/2008 Robert Berry [email protected] Summary A pond heron was discovered near Broome, W. A. on 29/03/2008. The back of the bird was black which limited the possibilities to two species. It exhibited sufficient plumage characteristics to be certain that it was a Chinese Pond Heron Ardeola bacchus. This is the first record for mainland Australia by date. Circumstances of discovery The bird was encountered on 29/03/2008 at 0815 in fine weather at Nimiliaca (also called Nimilarigan) a wetland 20 km north of Broome W. A. 17o 46.46S 122 o 15.35E. It was flushed from flooded grassland by Robert Berry and Gail D’Alton. It flew to an exposed position in a tree and was observed from about 40 metres in good light using Leica 10X42 binoculars. After about 2 minutes it flew away from the observers showing it’s back in flight. About thirty minutes and several frantic phone calls later it was rediscovered by the original observers and Christopher Hassell close to its first position. Once again it flew into a tree where it was observed through a telescope and photographed. Subsequently it was located by Adrian Boyle who was able to share the find with Peter Collins of the Broome Bird Observatory and some participants in a course run by the Observatory. Description In the instant of its initial takeoff the bird turned from a brown bird to a white one. From prior experience of a similar species it was immediately obvious to the observers that the bird was a pond heron.

    The Birds of the Wenyu Beijing’s Mother River Steve Bale 史進 1 Contents Introduction Page 3 The Status, The Seasons, The Months Page 9 The Birds Page 10 Finding Birds on the Wenyu Page 172 The List of the ‘New’ Birds for the Wenyu Page 178 Special Thanks Page 186 Free to Share… Page 187 References Page 188 2 Introduction In the meeting of the Zoological Society of London on the 22nd November 1842, John Gould (1804-81) presented what was described in the Society’s proceedings as a “new species of Parrot” 1. The impressively marked bird had been collected on the Marquesas Islands – a remote spot of the Pacific Ocean that would become part of French Polynesia. The members of the Society present at that meeting would have undoubtedly been impressed by yet another of the rare, exotic gems that Gould had a habit of pulling out of his seemingly bottomless hat. Next up in this Victorian frontiers-of-ornithology ‘show and tell’ was Hugh Edwin Strickland (1811-53). The birds he spoke about2 were quite a bit closer to home, although many were every bit as exotic as Gould’s Polynesian parrot. Strickland, instead of sourcing his specimens from the far corners of the Earth, had simply popped across London to Hyde Park Corner with his note book. There, causing quite a stir, was an exhibition of "Ten Thousand Chinese Things", displayed in a purpose-built “summer house” whose design was, according to The Illustrated London News3, “usual in the gardens of the wealthy, in the southern provinces of China”.
