The birds of Batam and Bintan Islands, Riau Archipelago
Get PDFDuring 1989 and 1991, ornithological surveys were made on Batam by teams from the Nature Society (Singapore) with the purpose of checking which species remain and also to observe sea birds from the ferry. Between February 1994 and November 1995, the author made nine visits to northern Bintan (an area not visited during the 1991 survey) The purpose was to survey the birds and mammals along the north coast in order to identify areas rich in wildlife and potential wildlife corridors prior to resort development. Each visit lasted from one to four days. During June 1995, a group of students from the National University of Singapore made a two-week bird and mammal study in some of the northern Bintan sites previously covered by the autho

The birds of Sangihe and Taluad , North Sulawesi
Get PDFThe islands of Sangihe, Siau and Talaud were visited between 24 August and 31 October 1995 and a total of 126 species recorded. This paper provides details of all species recorded, including those new to the islands, additional information is provided on the five endemic species: Eos histrio, Loriculus catamene. Halcyon enigma, Eutrichomyias rowleyi and Aethopyga duyvenhodei. Further details are provided of records made between 1986 and 1995 during visits to the islands by four individual birdwatchers. Four of the endemic species were shown to be more common than previously thought, whilst details of the third record of Eutrichomyias rowleyi are presented.

New and noteworthy bird records from the island of Seram, Maluku
Get PDFA number of interesting bird records were made by a team of ten biologists from Cambridge University (UK), Universitas Pattimura (Ambon, Maluku), and Wetlands International, (Indonesia), during a three month research and conservation project in 1996 in the proposed Cagar Alam (Nature Reserve) of Wae Bula in northeast Seram. This paper documents five species previously unrecorded on the island and provides information concerning several species of interest in terms of distribution or conservation. Seram still holds large tracts of unexplored and unsurveyed forest which are likely to hold important populations of threatened and endemic species; future visitors are encouraged to extend our limited knowledge of the avifauna of this island
