Japan Field Guide

Hi all,

I recently asked for advice on Japanese field guides for an upcoming cycling
holiday in Japan: thanks to everyone who offered advice.

After reviewing the comments, I bought the Mark Brazil book, Birds of East
Asia (China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan and Russia).

If anyone is interested in my feedback on that let me know.

Regards,

Paul.

FW: PS [AfricanBirding] ID of wader from Central Chad

Compared in size to the Snipe, a Curlew Sandpiper?!
Cheers,

I’m herewith trying to include the picture in the message, rather than atach
it. This for those who have trouble signing into Yahoo.

Dear all,

We are looking for argued confirmation (or dissent!) of the ID of the
sandpiper next to the Common Snipe in the attached picture. Image taken
last week by Tim Wacher of ZSL in Ouadi Rimé Ouadi Achim Fauna Reserve in
central Chad. [For those interested: this is where the government of Chad
is re-introducing Scimitar-horned Oryx with assistance from the Sahara
Conservation Fund and other organisations.]

With my thanks for what you can do,

Kind regards, Joost

How about Dunlin?
It doesn’t look good for Broad-billed Sandpiper.
Cheers, Steve

Does anyone wish to put an opinion on this one (on the left). Suggestion so
far is Broad-billed Sandpiper.

**SPAM?** Night warblers

It’s a pity not to be able to find a matching recording for confirmation though. Have you had a listen to the collection at www.xeno-canto.org/species/Cracticus-nigrogularis?

Thanks for all the suggestions to my question about ‘night warblers’.

The last few mornings, at Yamba, I have made a mental note of the calls and
found that the structure is slightly different each morning. The calls each
start off with (pardon the ‘phonics’) a ‘chop’ ‘chop’ then, this morning –
‘wow, wayerko, rhythm’ ie about 6 separate notes. Yesterday morning the
second part of the call was slightly different. What I thought was a softer
repeat of part of the chorus I now think another bird chorusing just after
the warble is finished.

I am surprised many more birdos haven’t heard these calls, but then again,
most sensible humans are asleep at that hour of the morning.

The consensus of opinion seems to be that these night warbles are made by
Pied Butcherbirds.

Thanks again

Sri Lanka Bird Guide

I recently used Birds of Sri Lanka by Warakagoda, Inskipp, Inskipp and
Grimmett. It’s a Helm Field Guide and is excellent with text, pictures and
distribution maps adjacent. Published 2012.
