Corresponding author: Abdulaziz S. Alatawi, [email protected] Abstract Conducting species inventories is important to provide baseline information essential for management and conserva- tion. Aldesa Valley lies in the Tabuk Province of northwest Saudi Arabia and because of the presence of permanent water, is thought to contain high avian richness. We conducted an inventory of avian species in Aldesa Valley, using timed area-searches during May 10–August 10 in 2014 and 2015 to detect species occurrence. We detected 6860 birds belonging to 19 species. We also noted high human use of this area including agriculture and recreational activities. Maintaining species diversity is important in areas receiving anthropogenic pressures, and we encourage additional surveys to further identify species occurrence in Aldesa Valley.

Oromia is the largest National Regional State of Ethiopia. Here we present the first comprehensive checklist of its birds. A total of 804 bird species has been recorded, 601 of them confirmed (443) or assumed (158) to be breeding birds. At least 561 are all-year residents (and 31 more potentially so), at least 73 are Afrotropical migrants and visitors (and 44 more potentially so), and 184 are Palaearctic migrants and visitors (and eight more potentially so). Three species are endemic to Oromia, 18 to Ethiopia and 43 to the Horn of Africa. 170 Oromia bird species are biome restricted: 57 to the Afrotropical Highlands biome, 95 to the Somali-Masai biome, and 18 to the Sudan-Guinea Savanna biome.

    Impact of Human Activity on Foraging Flocks and Populations of the Alpine Chough Pyrrhocorax Graculus

    Avocetta N°19: 189-193 (1995) Impact of human activity on foraging flocks and populations of the alpine chough Pyrrhocorax graculus ANNE DELESTRADE Centre de Biologie des Ecosystèmes d'Altitude, Université de Pau, 64000 Pau, France. Present address: Institut d'écologie, CNRS URA 258, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, 7 qua i St Bernard, 75252 Paris, France. Abstract - The Alpine Chough Pyrrhocorax graculus is a social corvid which uses food provided by tourist activities in mountain regions (e.g. at ski stations, refuse dumps, picnic areas). In order to determine the impact ofthe human food supply on the Alpine Chough, foraging flock size and distribution were studied in a tourist region in the Northern French Alps between 1988 and 1992. Alpine Chough attendance at tourist sites was closely related to human activities. Activity rhytbrn was influenced by human presence on picnic area in summer. Relations to human activities held at a seasonal scale (such as opening of a ski station) but not at a daily time scale (such as weekend). Long term trends of Alpine Chough populations since intense tourist development at altitude are discussed with regard of flock size counts recorded at a same site before and after intense tourist development. Introduction a little studied species, and it is particularly uncertain whether Alpine Chough populations have increased Availability of food is a factor which influences the since the intense development of tourist activities in distribution and abundance of species at a range of mountains. spatial and temporal scales. Many bird species forage The aims of this study were (1) to determine whether in human related habitats (Murton and Wright 1968), the Alpine Chough adapted its foraging behaviour to and food supplied by man (e.g.

Our flight in from the UK was delayed so no time for any real birding on this first day of our “Chilled Birding Tour”. Our local guide Tijan and our ground crew met us at the airport. We piled into Tijan’s well used minibus as Little Swifts and Yellow-billed Kites flew above us. A short drive took us to our lovely small boutique hotel complete with pool and lovely private gardens, we were going to enjoy staying here. Having settled in we all met up for a pre-dinner drink in the warmth of an African evening. The food was delicious, and we chatted excitedly about the birds that lay ahead on this nine- day trip to The Gambia, the first time in West Africa for all our guests. At first light we were exploring the gardens of the hotel and enjoying the warmth after leaving the chilly UK behind. Both Red-eyed and Laughing Doves were easy to see and a flash of colour announced the arrival of our first Beautiful Sunbird, this tiny gem certainly lived up to its name! A bird flew in landing in a fig tree and again our jaws dropped, a Yellow-crowned Gonolek what a beauty! Shocking red below, black above with a daffodil yellow crown, we were loving Gambian birds already.

We used Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers to investigate the genetic structure of two popula- tions of see-see partridge (Ammoperdix griseogularis, Galliformes) from the Suleiman range, in the Pakistani Himalayan region. The see-see partridge is a vulnerable species with a distribution in the Middle East and central Asia. The percentage of polymorphic bands (94.05%), Shannon Index (H=0.455) and Nei’s average gene diversity (IN=0.298) of A. griseogularis at species level were rather high when compared with other avian species. 17% of polymorphic loci showed statistically significant differences in their allelic frequencies. The GST (Nei’s coefficient of genetic variation) values indicated low levels of differentiation (GST=0.08). A genetic distance D of 0.05 indicated that both populations were to some degree in isolation but their differentiation was not signifi- cant. Overall, our genetic data can support action plans aiming to locally preserve differentiated genetic resources that, in the future, could potentially result in ecologically and behaviourally differentiated populations. In view of the rapid environmental changes that the Himalayan region has been experiencing in the last decade, this study could help in conservation plans.
