An annotated checklist of the birds of Manusela National Park, Seram. Birds recorded on the Operation Raleigh Expedition
Get PDFManusela National Park is located in central Seram at 129 deg E, 3 deg S and covers an area of 186 000 ha, about 11% of the surface area of Seram. The Park contains a broad selection of the habitats present in Seram, stretching from the north coast to within 5 km of the south coast. It includes a large portion of the Binaia-Merkele limestone massif with the highest mountain on Seram, Gunung (G). Binaia, at 24.90m, as well as the lower parallel ridge of Gunung (G). Kobipoto (1500 m) to the north, together with a broad section of the lowland alluvial plain where three wide rivers, the Wae Toluorang, Mual and Isal drain northwards to the sea (see fig.1). Observations were made by the authors between 20 July and 25 September 1987 as part of the ornithological research work conducted under the auspices of Operation Raleigh, Seram expedition

Notes on the avifauna of Bacan, Kasiruta and Obi, North Moluccas
Get PDFIn 1991 and 1992, field work was conducted in the north Moluccas under the he auspices of IUCN (the World Conservation Union) to ascertain the status of three species of parrot: White Cockatoo Cacatua alba, Chattering Lory Lorius garrulus and two subspecies of Violet-backed Lory Eos squamata riciniata and E. s. obiensis (Lambert 1993; in press). During these survey, about one month was spent on Bacan October/November 1991), four day on the adjacent island of Kasiruta (November 1991) and a further month on Obi (February 1992). Most of the parrot surveys were conducted in the lowlands and hills, although observations were made up to 1,300 m on the steep forested western slopes of Mt Sibela, Bacan, and at altitudes of up ca. 730 m in the upper catchment of the Widi Besar River, Obi. Even at these higher altitudes, however, the forest was tall, with trees estimated to be 30-35 m tall, and best described as submontane rather than montane even at 1,300 m. Unfortunately, it was not possible to reach the true montane forests of Mt Sibela (maximum elevation 2111m)

Recent bird observations from the Banggai Islands
Get PDFTogether with the neighbouring Sula Islands, the Banggai Island group is considered by BirdLife International as an important endemic bird area (ICBP 1992; Sujatnika et al. 1996), because it holds as many as nine restricted range species. Though the two island groups have been assigned a critical conservation priority (ICBP 1992), their fauna remains little known (White & Bruce 1986; Bishop 1992). Intensive coverage for the Sula Islands was completed only in 1991 (Davidson et al. 1994). During a contemporary expedition to study the status of Sula Scrubfowl Megapodius bemsteinii from 9 October to 9 December 1991 in the Banggai Islands, we recorded incidental observations on other species. This report aims to contribute to the present knowledge of distribution and biology of the birds of the Banggai Islands with emphasis on restricted range and little known species and the provision of new island records Where pertinent, observations from Sidangori Batui in eastern Sulawesi, made by MID two days in September 1991, are referred to in the species accounts. Observations during an additional excursion to the Banggai Islands on 31 August 1996 (MID) are also incorporated
