Hi – A new issue of Kukila – Journal of Indonesian Ornithology was published. If anyone wishes to publish articles on observations from recent visits (Bali, Java, South Maluku, Papua etc), or contribute individual notable distributional or breeding records in the Around the Archipelago section etc, please contact the editors Bas van Balen: bvanbalen001[@]hotmail.com, or via the website: http://kukila.org/index.php/KKL/index thanks, Colin Kukila Volume 17, No. 2 is published! Enormous flocks of Eyebrowed Thrushes have recently been discovered wintering in South Sumatra, but local villagers shoot up to 500 for the pot in a single night. This is the topic of a short communication in the latest issue (Volume 17, Part 2) of Kukila, the journal of Indonesian ornithology. Covering one of the most biodiverse regions on the Earth and the country with the greatest number of threatened bird species, Kukila is now almost 30 years old. This issue includes full length articles on the dynamics of the waterbirds of East Kalimantan’s Middle Mahakan wetlands, understorey birds of Sarawak’s Gunung Gading National Park, and additions to the avifauna of Bintan and Batam Islands in the Riau Archipelago, just south of Singapore. Short communications include the first national or island records of Eurasian Hobby, Pectoral Sandpiper and Ruff, and observations of the Sunda Coucal’s diet. Our special section ‘Around the Archipelago’ is another bumper with over 23 pages of records and photos of new or unusual island or provincial records. This is followed by a review of the recently published Special Volume and Index of the Handbook of the birds of the World, and its relevance to Indonesian ornithology. Kukila is biannual, and the next issue is expected to appear in September 2014. All issues to date are available for downloading on our website. We welcome articles and new distributional records of Indonesian birds from ornithologists, birdwatchers and tour guides. All submissions to Kukila will also now be managed online.
