This
report is based on an eight day birding trip to Bali and north-eastern Sulawesi
from 13th to 21st May 2010. The birding in Bali consisted
of a day trip to the Bali Barat National Park (West Bali) specifically to see
the Bali Myna and was organised by Oswald Huma of Birdingpal. The trip to the Bogani
Nani Wartabone and Tangkoko National Parks in Sulawesi was targeted at the
Sulawesi endemics and was organised by Theo Henoch of Sulawesi-LW-Adventures. Peter
Waanders of South Australia joined me for the Sulawesi part of the trip.
A total
of 145 species (58 in Bali and 104 in Sulawesi) were seen by myself during the seven
days of birding of which 68 species were lifers. Regarding the Sulawesi
endemics, a total of 37 endemics were seen out of a possible 90 endemics, which
considering that only a small part of Sulawesi was visited for a short period,
gives an indication of the quality of birding for the area.
Birding
highlights in Bali were the Bali Myna, Black-winged Starling, Oriental Hobby
and Black-thighed Falconet.

Birding
highlights in Sulawesi were numerous, however of special note was seeing the Maleo
(adults plus chick), Martinan Blue Flycatcher (poorly known species),
Red-backed Thrush, all of the six possible species of owl (Minahassa Masked,
Sulawesi Masked, Sulawesi Scops, Ochre-bellied Boobook, Cinnabar Boobook &
Speckled Boobook) and two nightjars (Great Eared & Sulawesi).

The
trip arrangements went very well and this was a testament to the effort put in
by Oswald Huma and Theo Henoch and their support teams.

Bali – Met up with Oswald
Huma and drove to Bali Barat National Park, leaving Denpasar at 5am
and arriving at 8am. Travelled to Brumbun on Pulau Menjangan by boat, returning
for lunch. Visited various sites within the Bali Barat National Park in afternoon, returning to Denpasar in evening.
3. 15 May – Manado-Kotamobagu
- Flight from Denpasar to Manado, with 4
hour stopover in Makassar, arriving in Manado in early afternoon. Peter Waanders from South Australia
had flown in from Singapore, also arriving in early afternoon. We were met at
the airport by Theo Henoch of Sulawesi-LW-Adventures and drove to Kotamobagu,
which took about 6 hours with a stop for dinner on the way.
4. 16 May – Gunung Ambang - Early morning drive to Sinsingon for
bird watching in Gunung Ambang. The target birds for this site are the
Scaly-breasted Kingfisher, Matinan Flycatcher and Cinnabar Boobook. Evening
birding to locate owls and nightjars. Overnight in Kotamobagu.
5.
17 May – Tambun - Early morning
check out and drive to Tambun for birding at Maleo birding site. In the
afternoon birding again in Tambun. Dinner and overnight at guest house in Doloduo which
is a village close to Tambun.
6.
18 May – Puncak Temboan, Tangkoko – Heavy rain overnight and still raining
in morning, so decided to leave Doloduo early and drive through to Manado and
then on to Tangkoko. Stopped at Puncak
Temboan, which overlooks the forest of Tangkoko, for 2 to 3 hours in the late afternoon,
before going onto Mama Roos Guest House in Tangkoko.
7.
19 May – Tangkoko - Morning birding in secondary forest, scrub and grasslands
and then on into the primary forest. Lunch
at Guest House and then birding again in Tangkoko in late afternoon through to

- Morning birding
in the park and then in the afternoon a boating trip to see the Sulawesi Masked
Owl nesting site on the cliff and to the mangrove for the Great-Billed
Kingfisher. Return for dinner and overnight.
- 21 May - Tangkoko-Airport - Check out in the morning and then birding
at Puncak Temboan on the main road for three hours before heading to the
airport for flights leaving in early afternoon.
Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park
Bogani
Nani Wartabone is a large (287,000 hectares) national park on Minahassa peninsula of northern Sulawesi.
Formerly known as Dumoga Bone National Park, it was established in 1991 and was
renamed in honour of Nani
Wartabone, a
local resistance fighter who drove the Japanese from Gorontalo
during the World War II.
Bolaang
Mongondow is the westernmost regency of North Sulawesi and it takes around five
hours to drive from Manado to Kotamobagu the administrative capital, using
either the coastal road via Inobonto or the winding mountain road via
Modoinding. Geographically dominating the regency is the Bogani Nani Wartabone
National Park.
The park has been identified by Wildlife Conservation Society as the single most important site for the conservation of
Sulawesi wildlife and is home to a large number of endemic Sulawesi species. The species observed in the park include among
others the poorly understood Cinnabar
Boobook which was only described
scientifically in 1999.
The Cinnabar Boobook (Ninox ios)
an endemic to Sulawesi and was
previously identified as a rufous morph of the Ochre-bellied Boobook. It was
described as a new species to science by American ornithologist Pamela Rasmussen in
1999 based on a single specimen collected by Frank Rozendaal from Bogani Nani
Wartabone National Park in 1985.
Subsequently it has also been observed in Lore Lindu National Park in central Sulawesi, greatly expanding the known habitat range.
Among the larger animals of the park
are North Sulawesi Babirusa (Babyrousa celebensis) and the Celebes Warty
Pig (Sus celebensis).
Likewise,
the Maleo bird, a megapode which lays an egg eight times the size of a
chicken’s egg into warm volcanic soils to incubate it. It’s possible to see
Maleo and their chicks at two major nesting sites near Tambun and Tumokang.
The
park is threatened by uncontrolled logging, poaching and illegal gold mining.
Gunung
Ambang
To the east of the Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park lies the
small (8,000 hectares) Cagar Alam (Nature Reserve) Gunung Ambang which includes
extensive areas of montane forest.
A chain of mountains runs along almost the entire length of the
northern peninsula of Sulawesi. In the west this forms the Tentolo-Matinan
range and reaches heights of over 2,000m, whilst to the east the Bogani Nani
Wartabone National Park includes extensive areas of montane forest.
Gunung Ambang is an impressive mountain which
is reached by passing through the coffee plantations between Modayag and Lake
Mooat and is 27 km from Kotamobagu.
Like many reserves throughout Indonesia, Ambang has not been
surveyed in detail and the biological diversity it supports has yet to be
adequately documented, such as two of Sulawesi's threatened endemics, the
Matinan Blue Flycatcher (Cyornis sanfordi) and the recently
described Cinnabar Hawk Owl (Ninox ios).
During the visit both Peter Waanders and I had good views of a
Grey-headed Canary-flycatcher (Culicicapa ceylonensis) which is not
recorded in Sulawesi according to the Guide to the Birds of Wallacea.
The reserve is an excellent birding site, easy to reach from the
provincial town of Kotamobagu, although at the time of the visit was very muddy
due to recent heavy rain.
The reserve is under the administration of
the National Park office in Kotamobagu and visitors must obtain permits and need
to be accompanied by a ranger.
Tangkoko
National Park
Tangkoko
Duasudara nature reserve (8,745 hectares) lies north of Bitung, on the
northernmost tip of Sulawesi, about 40km or two hour’s drive from Manado.
The
topography is dominated by the two volcanic cones of Gunung Duasudara (1,351m)
and Gunung Tangkoko (1,109m), which are linked by a ridge. A further volcanic
cone, the active Gunung Batuangus
(450m), lies to the south-east, while to the north-west lies the extensive Pata
plateau. To the north-east the steep topography attenuates towards a coast
characterised by alternating bays and rocky headlands.
The
predominant vegetation is primary lowland rain forest which occurs around the
three main peaks and on the Pata plateau up to 600m. Above 600m, sub-mountain
rain forest displays physical changes in both structure and species
composition. Canopy height and mean leaf size are smaller and bryophytes and
ferns predominate in the under storey and on trees.
Lilac Kingfisher |
The
unusually high productivity of the lowland forest has resulted in a faunal
composition with large numbers of relatively few species. This is exemplified
by the frugivores, particularly the endemic Celebes Crested Macaque (Macaca
nigra), for which population densities of about 300 per sq. km have been
recorded. Other endemic species include Spectral Tarsier (Tarsius tarsier),
Sulawesi Bear Cuscus (Phalanger ursinus) and Sulawesi Dwarf Cuscus
(Strigocuscus celebensis). During the trip, the first three mammals were seen
and in addition several Northeastern Xanthurus Rat (Rattus xanthurus)
were seen at night.
Celebes Crested Macaque (Macaca nigra) |
Spectral Tarsier (Tarsius tarsier) |
Avifauna
is well represented with some 140 species recorded in the reserve. Many of the
target species were seen, however it takes a lot of hard work to find some of
the species, such as the Minahassa Masked Owl, Red-bellied Pitta (heard but not
seen) and Red-backed Thrush. The forests are hot and humid and keeping up with
Samuel, the local guide who has an uncanny ability to find birds, takes some
getting used to. However even with Samuel and Theo assisting, the forest at
times can be frustratingly quiet.
Bali
Barat National Park
Bali
Barat (West Bali) is located on the north western side of Bali, Indonesia. The park covers around 77,000 hectares, which is approximately 10% of
Bali's total land area.
To
the north of the national park, it includes a 1 km long beach, reef and islets.
A seaport at Gilimanuk is west of the park, and the village of Goris is to the
east. Bali Barat can be reached by roads from Gilimanuk and Singaraja or by using ferries from Ketapang, Java.
There
are several habitats in Bali Barat, a savanna, mangroves, montane and mixed-monsoon forests, and coral islands. The centre
of the park is dominated by remnants of four volcanic mountains from Pleistocene era, with Gunung Patas at
1,412 metres its highest elevation.
Bali Barat is the last stronghold of the
endangered Bali Starling and up to 160 species of birds have been seen in the
park.
It
is also home to Crab-eating Macaque (Macaca fascicularis), Red Muntjac (Muntiacus
muntjak), Javan Rusa (Rusa timorensis), Javan Lutung (Trachypithecus
auratus) and the last of the island’s wild Banteng (Bos javanicus)
from which the deer-like Balinese cattle are descended. All these mammals were
seen during the visit.
