Abstract

The Satanic Nightjar Eurostopodus diabolicus a little-known, putatively threatened species endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia was recently observed in two protected areas in North Sulawesi. Presently classified as Vulnerable to extinction, these new records suggest a more widespread geographical distribution and greater tolerance of disturbed habitats than was previously thought. Consequently, we recommend that this species be downgraded to Near Threatened. Descriptions of plumage characters (which differ from the type specimen in some respects), nesting, and behaviour are presented. Morphological and ecological evidence suggests E. diabolicus is most closely related to the Archbold's Nightjar E. archboldi and Papuan Nightjar E. papuensis, both endemic to New Guinea.

Abstract

This paper summarizes and reviews our knowledge of the Pale-bellied White-eye Zosterops consobrinorum of south-east Sulawesi, Indonesia. Fieldwork during late 1995 resulted in the discovery of seven new localities for the species on the Sulawesi mainland. In addition we discovered an undescribed race of Z. consobrinorum on Buton Island. These records significantly increase the known distribution of the species. Information on the species' habitat, behaviour, plumage, vocalisations, taxonomy and status is presented and it is concluded that the species is not threatened.

Abstract

Panua Nature Reserve is the second largest terrestrial conservation area in North Sulawesi, located on the south coast of Sulawesi's north peninsula. We conducted surveys of the reserve between February and June 2000, including 241 km of line transect censuses, primarily in the dominant lowland evergreen rainforest. A total of 124 bird species were recorded, including 48 Sulawesi endemics, and l3 species (all but two endemic) that are considered by most authorities as Threatened or Near Threatened. In this paper we describe the habitats of the reserve and summarize observations of all l3 threatened species, as well as six other species for which our surveys clarify distribution or status within Sulawesi.

Abstract

The breeding seasons of land birds on Timor, the largest island of the Lesser Sundas (Nusa Tenggara) is hitherto undocumented. This preliminary report draws upon historic data from the early 20'h century and opportunistic observations made by the author on Timor during the 1990s, and compares these data with those available for other islands in the region (including Roti and Sumba), as well as western Indonesia and Papua. Evidence is presented that nesting occurs throughout the wet season (November to April), possibly peaking in November. This pattern contrasts strongly with that for western Flores (Verheijen 1964), where breeding is concentrated in the three months from April to June. Interpretation of these patterns must be cautious, however, given the hiatus of data from Timor for the period from late August to November, as well as the opportunistic or approximate nature of the data presented here. lt is hoped that this report stimulates a more comprehensive study of avian reproduction in the region.

Abstract

Ornithological observations were made on the island of Lembata (Lomblen) over a l3 day period in December 2000, to increase knowledge of its poorly known avifauna. Only 58 species were known from previously published sources. Thirty-three additional species were recorded (a 70% increase), with a current total of 91 species (53 non-passerines and 38 passerines), including 73 residents, 15 Palearctic migrants and three austral migrants. The 33 new species for Lembata includes, among others, one raptor, lO Palearctic passage migrants and four forest birds. Four globally Threatened and Near Threatened species are present on Lembata (following Birdlife International 2001): the Critically Endangered Yellow-crested Cockatoo Cacatua sulphttrea, the Vulnerable Flores Green Pigeon Treron floris, and the Near Threatened Great-billed Heron Ardea sumatrana and Malaysian Plover Charadrius peronii. There are six Restricted-range species, all Lesser Sundas endemics, two additional Wallacean endemics and a total of 17 forest bird species. Biologically, Lembata is closely associated with Flores and other volcanic islands of the Inner Band a Arc; its avifauna is but a species poor subset ofFlores with every species recorded to date known also from that island.

Abstract

ln September 2001 avifaunistic data were collected during a brief visit to the largely deforested island ofKisar (eastern Lesser Sundas). A total of 19 bird species were recorded including two new island records: Australian Pelican Pelecanus conspici1latus and Barn Swallow Himnclo rustica. Other interesting observations included the first sightings of the Little Friar bird Philemon citreogularis race hisserensis in almost lOO years. Study is needed to clarify the taxonomic distinctiveness of this taxon. The Rainbow Lorikeet Trichoglossus haematoclus and Olive-headed Lorikeet T. euteles, known from nineteenth century records, were not recorded and may now be extinct. The 'South-west' islands were little studied in the twentieth century. Ornithological surveys of still forested islands such as We tar, Romang and Babar are a priority.
The Status of Three Northern Migrant Raptors Rarely Observed on Java Nijman, Vincent

Abstract

In the course of a study on raptor migration the central Java, Indonesia, during the periods September-January 1998 and September-October 1999, three species were recorded which have rarely, if ever, been recorded on the island: Common Buzzard Buteo buteo, Booted Eagle Hieraaetus pennattts and Marsh Harrier Circus aeruginosus. Based on a study of the literature and museum skins, and previous experience with the respective species, their identification and status in the Indo-Malayan region is discussed. Raptors migrating through Java originate from northern Asia and might migrate further to Bali and possibly the Lesser Sunda Islands. All species are essentially open woodland species. The increase in the number of migrant species observed on Java and Bali is most likely due to an increase in focused research accompanied by better identification techniques but may also indicate an expansion of species' ranges due to changing land-use in western Indonesia, with closed canopy forest being increasingly replaced by more open types of forest and cultivated land.
