An annotated checklist of the birds of Tanjung Puting National Park, Central Kalimantan - Part 2
Get PDFTanjung Puting National Park is located near the south-western corner of the island of Borneo, in Central Kalimantan province at 112 deg E, 3 deg S, and covers an area of 296,800 hectares. The park contains the largest and best representation of south western Borneo's original coastal plain habitats, particularly the predominant heath and peat swamp forests, which occupy a much larger extent here than in any other protected area in Borneo
New and interesting records of birds in Wallacea
Get PDFDuring ten years (1981-1990) of birdwatching throughout the islands of Wallacea, I have accumulated a number of records which supplement and compliment information presented in White & Bruce's (1986) annotated checklist of the birds of this region and in subsequent publications. With the impending publication of a handguide to the birds of the region (Bishop & Coates in prep), it was considered important to document these observations prior to their inclusion in such a publication
The historical range of the White-winged Wood-Duck in Indonesia
Get PDFDetails are provided of historical records of Cairina scutulata in Sumatra and Java. There are confirmed records from seven Sumatran provinces and West and Central Java. These records increase the likelihood that populations survive today in Riau, Bengkulu and elsewhere in Sumatra
On the importance of Sumatra’s East Coast for waterbirds, with notes on the Asian Dowitcher Limnodromus semipa1matus
Get PDFSince 1984, three surveys were conducted along the east coast of Sumatra. Several coastal wetlands appeared to be of international importance for waterbirds (according to the criteria of the Ramsar Convention). More than 10,000 large waterbirds were identified, including large numbers of Milky Storks Mycteria cinerea and Lesser Adjutants Leptoptilos javanicus,, and over 100,000 migratory waders (28 species) were counted. The observation of a minimum total of 3,800 Asian Dowitchers Limnodromus semipalmatus indicates that the east coast of Sumatra is the main wintering area of the species. In areas of high conservation importance, data were collected on habitat and threats. Several of these areas face heavy reclamation pressure, which necessitates urgent conservation action
A note on the recent sighting of Zosterops flava Javan White-eye
Get PDFA selection of sites on the north coast of West Java was surveyed for White-eyes Zosterops between March 1984 and December 1985. Javan White-eye Zosterops f1ava was recorded at Pulau Dua, Muara Gembong and Tanjung Sedari. White-eyes were not seen at Pulau Rambut, Muara Angke, or on the coast between Indramayu and Cirebon. z. flava was seen only once in mangrove, preferring relic stands of coastal forest. This favoured habitat is now much reduced and fragmented, and remains under further human pressure, thus z. F1ava should be 1isted as threatened in Java
