    Have You Seen Any of These Birds?

    Not currently accessible as foreigners are not allowed in the region - the political situation in Myanmar has been deteriorating with several areas becoming off-limits again. I went in April 2016 and had great views, but not an easy bird to see there, and the habitat is disappearing fast.

    Have You Seen Any of These Birds?

    Thanks D, appears to be the first confirmed sightings since 1922, though the birds Poulsen and Lambert heard in 1995 and 1999 were the parrots for sure, as I have compared the vocalisations already. Fortunately for me, I had a powerful spotlight at hand as they flew low overhead!

    You can remove a further 3 species: Black-lored Parrot, seen a couple of days ago on Buru in Indonesia. Also, White-eared Night Heron (Vietnam, March 2012) Przewalski's Parrotbill (Sichuan, China, June 2012). James

    I wish I had that partridge Al, not even heard it despite spending a lot of time in central Borneo looking for it. Very good shout though - I'm not aware of any modern day records. I've seen the Peacock Pheasant - 3 of them, including exceptional views of a male that circled me 3 times! Just 3...

    I saw several Damar Flycatchers and White-tipped Monarchs last week, as far as I am aware only 1 previous birder has seen either of these... James

    Have You Seen Any of These Birds?

    Hoogerwerf's Pheasant should clearly be treated as just a subspecies (if that!) of Salvadori's Pheasant from all the photos I have seen of captive birds and from comments made by a couple of researchers/birders who I've chatted to that have seen the bird in the wild. Hanno, agree that the...

    Have You Seen Any of These Birds?

    Three uber-megas there Chris, nice one, but are they good species?! I would be very interested in your thoughts on the bulbul as looking at the specimens I can't see why they aren't just apparent Black-headed Bulbuls (I have seen birds in Kalimantan that look like the specimens but call and...

    Well done with the partridges Chris. I wish I was birding Malaysia pre mid-90's when there was still accessible swamp and kerangas forest - Samunsan has literally nothing left now, completely cut-over within the last 8 years, likewise with Bako - more-or-less just mangrove forest there now...

    Have You Seen Any of These Birds?

    Good guess, all in different countries too! I think I'll require plenty of luck though feeling quietly confident about one of them, at least Edward's Pheasant has been found a couple of times in the last year (by hunters, typically) and I can't stop hearing that argus every time I enter central...

    Have You Seen Any of These Birds?

    I wish Alan! 3 grippers there. I know someone who has seen all 3 of them but I doubt is on here. I'm off to look for at least 2 of those species in a couple of months time so hopefully that will change... James
