Abstract

Many papers have been published on the food and feeding behaviour of the Brahminy Kite Halistur indus. At Singkarak Lake, West Sumatra, a Brahminy Kite was observed repeatedly diving from 10-15 m in the air to snatch small fish from the surface of the water, and eating them in the air. The prey was probably Bilih Mystacoleucos padangensis, a fish species endemic to the lake. Only one fish was taken on each dive, so it was undoubtedly more energy-efficient to eat the prey on the wing than to take it to a perch after each capture, though potential kleptoparasitism by other raptors may have also selected for this feeding behaviour.
A second breeding record of Chestnut-naped Forktails Enicurus ruficapillus in Sumatra, and observations suggesting females alone incubate Janra, Muhammad Nazri; Noske, Richard; Chornelia, Ada; Handika, Heru; Mursyid, Ahmad; Agung, Ade P; Saputra, Andri
