  • Borneo – Danum Valley

    Posted on Monday November 23rd, 2009 at 21:55 in borneo, asia, forest, birds, rainforest, oriental

    The lowland rainforest of Borneo is another place of wonder and beauty. There are fewer endemics in the lowlands than on the mountains and many of these species can also be seen on the Thai-Malay Peninsula. Nonetheless, there are some sites in Borneo...

  • Borneo - Kinabalu

    Posted on Sunday November 15th, 2009 at 11:04 in asia, forest, birds, rainforest, oriental, biogeography

    OK, so as promised, here is a little trip to Borneo. The only pity is that these old scanned slides don’t do these birds any justice whatsoever. Borneo is a place of great wonder and beauty and home to many endemic bird species. I though I’d star...

    Posting all those fruit eaters from around the world made me think of some of my favourite old birding haunts. I thought I should dig out some old slides and post a small series on Borneo, one of my favourite places. I am never satisfied that I can r...

  • Fruit eaters the world over (with no teeth)

    Posted on Saturday October 31st, 2009 at 09:21 in Evolution, birds, Behaviour, biogeography

    Those cherry-tossing waxwings in the last post got me musing about other fruit tossers from around the world. Indeed, fruit is such a wonderful resource that part of the world’s avian diversity is due to this rich food source. So, I thought I dig u...

  • drinking snow

    Posted on Wednesday October 28th, 2009 at 23:07 in Canada, birds, manitoba, North America, Behaviour, nearctic

    Did you mother ever tell you not to drink snow? Well, apparently their mothers did not tell these birds… These hardy birds presumably don’t have to worry too much about lowering their body’s core temperature by taking a little snow, and if your...
