Itinerary
20 Jul. Silk Air from Chiang Mai to Singapore and overnight in Singapore.
21 Jul. Using the opportunity of a stopover in Singapore en route to Bali, early morning with Richard Carden to the Botanical Gardens. This was an attempt to break a string of three previous visits dipping on Red-legged Crake. We arrived just before first light, and started at an area a short walk from the restaurants. Amazingly the first bird we saw, in the early gloom, was a Red-legged Crake wandering along the edge of a walkway and feeding under one of the low lamps. It remained along the edge quite at ease with the early morning joggers for a a minute or so before moving off into the undergrowth. Despite more searching we failed to find it again. The next hour was passed walking around the gardens, with some highlights including Oriental Pied Hornbill, Large-tailed Nightjar, Common Flameback, Common Hill Myna and Pink-necked Green Pigeon. Overnight in Singapore.
22 Jul. Some evening birding with the primary aim of looking for Singapore Scops Owl - the cnephaeus form of Collared Scops Owl near Ris Park. Unfortunately not even heard so gave up and went to the botanical gardens for dinner. During the subsequent walk through the botanical gardens we had a couple calling from the Rainforest Trail but after a few calls they shut up and we searched in vain.
23 Jul. Air Asia Indonesia from Singapore to Bali left 45 minutes late. On arrival, the long queues and heavy traffic, due to airport reconstruction, meant arrival at the Harris Hotel right next to airport took a couple of hours.
24 Jul. Merpati flight to Waingapu on Sumba left only 30 minutes late at 10:45, arriving 12:15. Lunch in town at Mr. Cafe, and then an hour or so drive along the cross-island highway where we stopped and walked across the limestone hills into forest. Fairly hot so little bird activity until late afternoon. In clearings and forest edge Chestnut-backed Thrush, Red-naped Fruit Dove, Sumba Brown Flycatcher, Green Imperial Pigeon, Pale-winged Cicadabird and several Elegant Pitta heard. At dusk we waited for the calls of Least Boobook and had a pair flying around, but never perching in view. On the return hike a couple of Mees's Nightjar seen in flight. Continued to Ferdinand's Hone Stay in Lewa - another 25 minutes drive. Simple but clean, and a pleasant place to stay.
25 Jul. An 04:30 breakfast and into the forest along the highway west of Lewa. As this is part of the Langgarilu National Park a local guide was required to watch us - although he only turned up after 08:00. Birded along the road all morning. Like birding along many roads in Indonesia this is not a particularly peaceful place with a succession of trucks, busses and motorcycles all of which insist on beeping the horn loudly. Despite this, some excellent birds found including a pair of Sumba Hornbill, Sumba Boobook, Metallic Pigeon, Sumba Flycatcher, Sumba Jungle Flycatcher and Sumba Myzomela. Many calling Elegant Pitta in this area which eventually seen well, plus a couple of flyover Marigold Lorikeet. After lunch and a short siesta we walked into the fields behind the homestay. A half hour hack over the dry stubble produced Short-toed Eagle, Black-winged Kite, Red Avadavat, Paddyfield Pipit and Singing Bush Lark but not the hoped for Pale-headed Munia. A very unexpected bonus was good flight views of a flushed Sumba Buttonquail. Thereafter we proceeded to return to the same area as yesterday evening where some new species for the list included Wallacean Cuckooshrike and Sunda Brush Cuckoo. Some nicely perched views of Red-naped Fruit Dove, and after dark much better views of Least Boobook. Dinner and overnight at the homestay.
26 Jul. Breakfast at the unimaginable time of 03:30 followed by an 04:00 departure to drive the two hours to Manurara National Park. Here. with one of the rangers, walked to the forest edge and in the early morning light had several Sumba Green Pigeon and a pair of Sumba Hornbill in a fruiting tree.
|
Over the next four hours, and a general exploration of the area, with much time spent atop a hill with a great panoramic view, we had several Citron-crested Cockatoo, Sumba Eclectus, Great-billed Parrot, Red-cheeked Parrot and Marigold Lorikeet. On the return stopped off again at the fruiting three where at least ten Sumba Green Pigeon were seen along with Chestnut-backed Thrush, Pale-winged Cicadabird and Wallacean Cuckooshrike. Two hour drove back to Lewa, lunch and again into the field out back. Again no Pale-headed Munia. Returned to the forest we'd visited yesterday morning finding Sumba Jungle Flycatcher, Black-faced Munia, Sumba Flycatcher, Pale-shouldered Cicadabird and much the same as previously. Overnight at Ferdinand's homestay again. |
27 Jul. A lie in till 05:00 then out to the Langgarilu National Park again. Some time spent sitting in the understorey gave us good views of Sumba Flycatcher and Elegant Pitta. For the rest of the morning Sumba Hornbill, Pale-shouldered Cicadabird and Spectacled Monarch were the main highlights. Lunch at the homestay then drive back to Waingapu where we checked in to the Hotel Elvin - nothing much there to write home about, but probably the best place in town. From 15:00-17:00 in the grasslands west of town for a buttonquail march, and where we had at least 20 Sumba Buttonquail, Brown Quail and Spotted Harrier. Last hour of light spent at Yumbu Lake, finding Hardhead (a vagrant to Indonesia), Pied Heron, Javan Plover, many Pacific Black Duck, Australian Swamphen, large numbers of Pale-headed Munia and, at dusk, Savanna Nightjar. Dinner at Mr. Cafe again.
28 Jul. Forty minutes Back to Yumbu Lake for a shortish visit, where we scanned the grassy reeds seeing immature Swamp Harrier, Spotless Crake, Baillon's Crake, Cinnamon Bittern, Australian Reed Warbler, Long-toed Stint, Javan Plover and Australian Pratincole. Back to hotel, pack and to Mr. cafe again as flight rescheduled to 13:30. Flight eventually left at 13:45, arriving on Timor at 15:15. Met by drivers and vans and off to Bipolo, about 50 kilometres away, with the drive taking just over an hour. The main target here was Timor Sparrow, but a couple of hours were unfruitful in locating it. However some other highlights included Tricoloured Parrotfinch, Timor Boobook, Timor Blue Flycatcher, White-faced Heron, Australian Hobby, and, what was presumed to be an escapee, Yellow-crested Cockatoo. Overnight at the Kristal Hotel, which was fine.
29 Jul. To the port for the fast ferry, which left 20 minutes late, at 09:20. A very comfortable ferry ride of just over two hours to Roti where met by local vehicles. Drove to the Hotel Tiberias a few kilometres away from town, a quick lunch and then a tortuous two hour drive in an enormous loop to the village of Sotomori. Despite being rather windy the area held some good birds including Black Dove, Timor Figbird, Orange-sided Thrush and the undescribed Phylloscopus Roti Leaf Warbler. At dusk we returned to the village and waited for Roti Boobook, which came in exactly where the villagers had indicated. This is a distinct looking boobook, somewhat like Least Boobook, but sounding similar to Sumba Boobook. Another two hour drive back. |
|
30 Jul. Very early start, back to area close to Sotomori village where we'd seen some decent looking habitat the day before. Tree cutting along the road, without apparent reason, is very noticeable on Roti. We walked the road at a slightly higher area, with the intention of looking for parrots and pigeons, and were rewarded with Olive-shouldered Parrot. Also Timor Stubtail, Timor Oriole, Black Dove and flyover Pink-headed Imperial Pigeon. The open habitat here heated up quickly. We finished mid morning with a look at one of the small lakes passed en route, which surprisingly held 50 Australian Pelican, Red-capped Plover, Malaysian Plover, Indonesia Collared Dove, and a few additional assorted waders. A dash back to the ferry which amazingly left ten minutes early - how is that possible in Indonesia? Once back on Timor we had another session at Bipolo, but again failed for find Timor Sparrow, due mainly to wind, but did see Black-faced Cuckooshrike, Royal Spoonbill, Black-masked Wood Swallow and 1,000 or more Five-coloured Munia. Overnight at Kristal Hotel.
31 Jul. Off at 04:45 for yet another, last gasp, attempt at Timor Sparrow at Bipolo, but this time with a calm and clear morning. After 30 minutes of general scanning, adding only Lesser Coucal, a few Timor Sparrow were found to our great relief. Further searching eventually revealed at least 15, feeding mostly with Scaly-breasted Munia. Continued to a watershed protection, and a couple of hours walking through open forest produced Spot-breasted Heleia and Black-banded Flycatcher. Heard Buff-banded Bushbird but had no success in seeing it. Headed to Soe, and then and then to private land at Camplong. Nice forest, with the Buff-banded Bushbird quite common and giving excellent views. A fruitful afternoon with a single Timor Sparrow, more Buff-banded Bushbird, Bar-necked Cuckoo-Dove, Black-faced Munia and, after dark, Timor Boobook and Timor Nightjar. |

1 Aug. 03:45 departure up the terrible road to Gunung Muttis. Lost 20 minutes on way up due to a puncture. Some sections are now in poor condition and, with our Kijang two wheel drive, required three attempts to make it. Arrived at the top at 06:30, where cold and windy but clear. We walked a trail through open eucalypt forest with long stops en route. Flame-eared Honeyeater everywhere as well as Wallacean Island Thrush. One of the highlights was excellent views of the distinctive wren-babbler, currently classified as the Timor form of Pygmy Cupwing, but is so distinctive that close study would almost certainly split it.
Arrived back at the car 14:00 and lunch in the field. We decided to head lower to look for Iris Lorikeet, but on arrival discovered thick mist, and a walk produced little of note other than a distant Sunda Cuckoo heard. 2 Aug. Back up the terrible road again at 04:00, and back to the spot where we'd finished previously; this time to fine weather. A walk here did produce Iris Lorikeet, but only a pair that passed so fast and distantly they remained unseen. The best birds included Little Pied Flycatcher, Orange-sided Thrush, Black-backed Fruit Dove and the rarely found Olive-shouldered Parrot. Return to Kupang town and the Kristal Hotel. |
|
During our time on Timor we also encountered what would appear to be a new taxon of parrotfinch. Details.
3 Aug. The 06:00 flight to Ruteng was on time, with us arriving to stunning weather which at 1,300 metres was cool, bright and clear. First off, a trip up Golo Lusang. Heard Dark-backed Imperial Pigeon and had great looks at Bare-throated Whistler, Cream-browed White-eye, Thick-billed Heleia and Flores Jungle Flycatcher. The weather clouded over around 12:00 so drove to Kisol, where we checked into the memorable seminary. Late afternoon in forest south of the village. Generally very quiet, but with persistence we saw Flores Crow, Elegant Pitta and Glittering Kingfisher. After dark along the road - now widened due to sand/gravel extraction upcoming - we got lucky with a perched Wallace's Scops Owl and Mees's Nightjar as well as flight views of Moluccan Scops Owl.
4 Aug. Left at 05:45 - a real lie in - and back into same forest. A cool morning, during which we walked the road for maybe a couple of kilometres. Chestnut-capped Thrush, Golden-rumped Flowerpecker, Black-fronted Flowerpecker, Elegant Pitta, Flores Minivet and Flores Crow being the highlights. Back for lunch, and then out again at 14:45 for another session. Much the same as yesterday, and really quiet, but a fruiting tree (which we had passed in the morning) held a small group of Flores Green Pigeon, was a real bonus. Other new species along here included Black-naped Monarch, Golden-bellied Gerygone and Spectacled Monarch. At dusk we had short views of Moluccan Scops Owl and Mees's Nightjar.
5 Aug. Left Kisol early at 03:00 to arrive at Lake Ranamese, a Flores Scops Owl site, by 04:15. Walked no more than 100 metres from the vehicle and heard a softly calling scops owl very close to the road. Despite crawling into the forest beneath the tree it was calling from, we failed to see it due to it being in the upper canopy, the thick undergrowth and the very ventriloquial voice. After an hour it stopped calling and we gave up. A further search farther up the road was unsuccessful before day break. After breakfast in the field we headed downhill along the road seeing, Crested Ibon, Cream-browed White-eye, Scaly-crowned Honeyeater and Sunda Cuckoo. Once the traffic became busy we headed farther uphill to walk along the road in open eucalyptus trees in the hope of finding Flores Lorikeet, but were not successful. Drove to Ruteng and checked in to the Kongregasi Santa Maria Berdukacita - a convent. Lunch in town. At 14:30 up to Golo Lusang where another session along the noisy road produced Flores Shortwing and, the hoped for, Leaf Lorikeet. Drove back to Lake Ranamese and spent a couple of hours in various bits of the forest, at clearings, and hacking through undergrowth with little success. Only one calling Flores Scops Owl which flew off well before we reached it. Definitely a frustrating bird.
6 Aug. Left 04:00 back to Lake Ranamese. An hour was spent at lower sections of the road but with absolutely no scops owl at all vocal. After dawn drove to a different area north of Ruteng, where we walked the main road - less busy than others of late - and in three hours had calling Dark-backed Imperial Pigeon, Thick-billed Heleia, Crested Ibon and Rufous-chested Flycatcher (a personal milestone - 8,000th bird). At 15:00 back to Gunung Lusang where we descended lower in search of Wallace's Hanging Parrot which we didn't find. Good views of Dark-backed Imperial Pigeon, but little else. After dark a walk heard at least three calling Flores Scops Owl but failed to see any of them due to accessibility problems and number of cars honking horns.
7 Aug. A last 03:30 breakfast and back for the scops owl. A couple of calling birds, but again we failed due to vegetation and inaccessibility. Drove to Puarlolo in a couple of hours. Here we found the Flores Monarch in about 15 minutes. On to Labuanbajo and the Komodo Eco Lodge - a pleasant place. At 14:30 we visited Potawangka, and in a couple of hours had two Wallace's Hanging Parrot flyovers, but not great views. Other species included Flores Minivet, Green Imperial Pigeon and Elegant Pitta.
|
8 Aug. A veritable lie in, with breakfast at 05:15. Speed boat to Komodo from 06:00 to 07:00, after which we walked the Long Loop Trail in the Komodo National Park World Heritage Site, with species of note such as Yellow-crested Cockatoo, Green Jungefowl, Indonesian Collared Dove and Variable Goshawk. |
|
After almost completing the walk a female Komodo Dragon found. On exiting the trail found several male Komodo Dragon lounging around and under the ranger station. Unfortunately photography difficult due to time of day and strongly contrasting light. Boat back to Labuanbajo and then Potawangka for another attempt at the hanging parrot, but none seen. A stroll on the beach for sunset photos was disappointing - birds included Little Black Cormorant, Sunda Teal and Whimbrel.
|
|
9 Aug. Back to Potawangka for one last attempt at Wallace's Hanging Parrot. A beautiful early morning atop a rise in the road with a fair view. In an hour we had really good views of Wallace's Hanging Parrot, Flores Hawk-Eagle, Flores Crow, Flame-breasted Sunbird and Black-naped Oriole. Returned to the accommodation, checked out and headed to airport for 11:00 flight to Bali, which left ten minutes early. Connection to Singapore and overnight there.
10 Aug. Silk Air flight to Chiang Mai.
