2 Indholdsfortegnelse INDHOLDSFORTEGNELSE... 2 FORORD... 2 TURPROGRAM... 3 DAGBOG... 3 KORT ARTSLISTE (ENGELSK LATIN) PATTEDYR M.V (ENGELSK) Forord Fra den december 2001 afholdt Københavnsafdelingens Ekskursionsudvalg sin første stortur til GOA i det sydvestlige Indien. GOA har i flere år været besøgt af især engelske - men i de senere år også af danske - ornitologer, der har nydt godt af de billige charterpriser. Således blev turen arrangeret i samarbejde med Alletiders/Apollorejser, der sørgede for fly og hotelophold. De daglige ekskursioner blev delvis foretaget i fire taxi fra hotellet, eller i en mindre bus ført af Lloyd, en lokal fugleguide. Tre dages ophold i teltlejren Backwoods Camp ved Molem var bestilt hjemmefra. De dygtige folk fra Backwoods arrangerede også en mangrove sejltur Vejret var varmt og solrigt, og med undtagelse af nætterne i Molem, kunne vi nyde det dejlige tropeklima. Både fugle- og naturoplevelser var der mange af, og alle var vi enige om, at det nok ikke var den sidste tur til dette gæstfrie og spændende land. En varm tak til samtlige deltagere, der med begejstring og godt humør var med til at gøre turen vellykket, en tur som vi alle vil tænke på med glæde i lang tid fremover. En tak til: Anita og Niels Paludan, Lis Kastrup og Svend Pettersson, Lis og Jørgen K. Andersen, Lillian Tøttrup, Elisabeth Haxthausen, Jytte O. Jørgensen, Lise Larsen, Ebbe A. Hansen, Ole Lemming, Helle Sjöberg og Lisbeth Strandmark. Tak for fotos taget af Ole. Leon og John. Der er udgivet adskillige rapporter om fuglelokaliteter og ekskursioner fra Goa. De kan ofte downloades fra internettet. Peter Harris: Goa - the Independent birders guide kan varmt anbefales. Ligeledes er håndbøgerne: Pocket Guide to the Birds of the Indian Subcontinent eller Field Guide to the Birds of the Indian Subcontinent uundværlige. Endelig kan en video om Goas fugle købes i Naturbutikken på Vesterbrogade. 2

Dagbog Torsdag den 6. december: Vi var alle mødt op i CPH hal 2 over midnat, for at tilbringe de næste 9 timer i en airbus med kurs mod Goa. Efter ankomst og ventetid i paskontrollen kunne vi kl. 17 lokal tid i 30 grs. varme rasle afsted i bus mod vort hotel Sunset Beach Resort beliggende i Candolim. Undervejs kunne vi igennem bussens vinduer i det begyndende mørke se de første Brahminy Kites, Indian Lapwings og flere hejrearter. Fredag den 7. december: Vejr: Solrigt 25-30gr. En tidlig tur til stranden og omegnen inden morgenmaden gav de første eksotiske småfugle. I øvrigt viste det sig, at morgenmaden dagligt blev indtaget med udsigt til fine småfugle i havens buske og træer. Efter morgenmaden gik turen i fire taxaer til det nærliggende Fort Aguada. Et stop ved pittastedet over for Thay Hollyday Resort gav ikke gevinst denne dag, men på skråningerne ved Fort Aguada kunne vi nyde opvisning fra flere rovfuglearter med en ung amurfalk som dagens hit. En blandet flok på 600 ørken/mongolske præstekraver var imponerende. Efter siestaen kørte vi til hotel Riverside beliggende ved foden af Baga hills, direkte ved Baga river. Herfra gik vi over de tørre marker til hotel Beira Mar, hvor vi ved kanten af swimmingpoolen indtog kingfisher beer med udsigt til Cinnamon Bittern og Painted Snipe i sumpen nedenfor. Aftensmaden blev indtaget på nærliggende restaurant. 3

Efter en hurtig kop kaffe gik det afsted til Lake Carambolim med omkringliggende marker. Lotussøen myldrede med liv. Overraskende var en flok på i alt 26 Comb Ducks samt 80 overflyvende Asian Openbill. I middagsheden blev de oversvømmede marker bag Carambolin by indtaget. Både lille- og stor skrigeørn, endda 2 pædagogisk set sammen, rov-, slange- og dværgørn i luften var overvældende. I en mindre landsby omgivet af skyggefulde træer var Small minivet og Black-hooded Oriole fuldtræffere blandt småfuglene. En af beboerne viste os Spotted Owlet, som vi i øvrigt hyggede os med dagligt ved hotellet. Under en aftentur til stranden fik vi en opvisning fra et White-bellied Seaeagle par, der havde slået sig ned på et grundstødt tankskib tæt på kysten. Tankskibet var i øvrigt også vært for fiskeørn og vandrefalk.

Dagen startede fint med 4 Black-rumped Flameback under morgenmaden. Dagens tur gik først til Baga Hills med et stop ved saltsøerne foran Hotel Maizons. Også her var vandstanden høj, hvorfor det store vadefugletrip udeblev. Til gengæld sad der både Stork-billed Kingfisher og Ashy Woodswallow på ledningerne. Ved foden af Baga Hills sås turens første Asien Paradise-flycatcher, og under opstigningen begyndte rovfuglene at dukke op. Efter stroppeturen og frokost på restaurant ved Baga Rivers udløb kørte vi til Anjuna Hills, hvor bl.a. den rødlistede Grey-headed Bulbul og Golden-fronted Leafbird kunne noteres i dette udmærkede skovområde. En mindre gruppe fortsatte til fods over Beira Mar Fields for at få ryddet op i piberne, mens resten vendte næbbet hjemad. Painted Snipe og atter et glimt af kanelhejren var resultatet ved swimmingpoolen.

Maem Lake er ret så befærdet med lokale turister på vandcykler. Men skoven rundt om søen er besøget værd. Således kom både Bronzed Drongo, Blue-capped Rocktrush samt Changeable Hawk Eagle, Crested Serpent Eagle og White-rumped Vulture på bogen her. Adskillige Crested Treeswift sås i flugt drikke vand fra søen, inden vi indtog stedets restaurant. Om eftermiddagen prøvede vi, efter et tip fra en af vores chauffører, at se gribbe i udkanten af byen Mopusa. Ingen gribbe, men en koloni med et tusindtal flyvende hunde var imponerende, og sammen med 3 rovørne i luften en rimelig erstatning.

Det var store stranddag, idet vi skulle til Morjim Beach for bl.a. at kigge på måger og terner. Vi blev ikke snydt. Store flokke ad libitum stod til beluring på en tæt beliggende sandbanke i fin belysning. Blandt de store måger dukkede adskillige tyndnæbbede op, og de to crestede ternearter var flot repræsenterede. En Barred Buttom Quail blev skræmt op fra det tørre græs bag stranden, inden vi fortsatte nordpå til Mandrem Beach. Her blev der badet og spist frokost på strandens restaurant med udsigt til revhejre og badenymfer. En kratlusketur i det bakkede bagland var en god ide. Kendte arter som blådrossel og lille fluesnapper sås her, imens mere eksotiske arter som Rufous Treepie og atter Ashy Woodswallow kom i kikkerten. På sejlturen tilbage over Chapora River kunne vi konstatere, at der atter blev arbejdet på en kommende bro.

Kl blev vi afhentet af vores lokalguider Loven og Pramod, for i de næste par timer at blive kørt op til nationalparken ved Molem, et bakket skovområde beliggende ca. 800 meter over havet. Et par km før vores lejr Backwoods sås de første nye og spændende arter. Både Malabar Grey og Malabar Pied Hornbill samt Malabar Parakeet kom i kikkerten. Heartspotted Woodpecker vakte begejstring og ikke at forglemme de nye arter af drongoer og barbets, der kom i bogen under morgenturen. Efter morgenmad og indflytning i teltene var det rovfugletid. I et skyggefuldt bakket terræn kunne vi nyde udsigten til Black Eagle, Crested Serpent Eagle, Crested Goshawk samt Mountain Hawk Eagle?, der var på vingerne i middagsheden. Efter frokost og siesta kørte vi atter ud i området. Ved en bro med et næsten udtørret flodleje havde vi udkig til en abefamilie af arten Bonnet Macaque, der foruden den langt mere almindelige Black-Faced Langur udgør abearterne i denne del af Goa. Af fugle her bør en Verditers Flycatcher fremhæves. Inden det blev mørkt besøgte vi området ved templet Tamla Surla, der omgivet af en rydning og gammel skov er en fremragende lokalitet. Her så vi bl.a. den rødlistede Brownbreasted Flycatcher, en leende Malabar Grey Hornbill, Imperial Mountaindove, Vernal Hanging Parrot samt Indian Swiftlet og Needletail Swift for at nævne et par arter. I mørket stillede vi op til natravneshow. Det blev til en fint siddende Grey Nightjahr samt enkelte pip fra en Oriental Scops Owl.

En hel dags birding i skoven omkring Backwoods, kun afbrudt af diverse spisepauser i campen. Skoven, som er en del af nationalparken, består af gamle ofte hullede og faldne træer et sandt spætteparadis. Det blev da også til adskillige Black-Rumped Flamebacks, Greater Flameback samt flere af den sortspættelignende White-Bellied Woodpecker. Malabar Trogon var nok dagens topper, selv om der godt nok kom mange spændende arter på bogen denne fremragende dag. Om aftenen forsøgte vi os med Brown Hawk Owl ved dens yndlingstræ ved floden. Et kort glimt fik vi af den, samt en Malabar Whistling Trush der badede sammen med Lis K. Aftenen afsluttede vi omkring bål i lejren.

I den gryende dag kunne Brown Hawk Owl samt de støjende Greater Racket-tailed Drongos høres fra teltene. Inden afgang fra Backwoods forsøgte vi at presse de sidste arter ud af skoven. De to manglende spættearter her: Rufous Woodpecker samt Brown-capped Pygmy Woodpecker blev set, og i skovbunden smuttede den her sjældne Indian Blue Robin rundt som en mus. Black Bulbul, den sidste forventede i rækken, blev set sammen med adskillige Crimsons Barbets, Grey-headed Bulbul samt en flok af Asian Fairy Bluebird. Over middag returnerede vi til hotellet i Candolin. Det blev farvel på gensyn til Backwoodsdrengene, idet vi fik dem til at arrangere en sejltur næste dag.

Kl blev vi samlet op af Leio og Pramod for i bus at blive kørt til et luksus hotel ved Mormugao Bay syd for Panaji. Her lå båden, som skulle sejle op ad River Zuari for bl.a. at kigge efter Collared Kingfisher. Det lykkedes, hele to af denne mangrove isfugl blev set inde i en af de mindre bifloder, og en Black-capped Kingfisher kom også med i opløbet. På bundgarnspælene ude på floden sad både stor og lille Crested Terns på fotohold, så der var gang i Niels, Ole og Svends kameraer. Over middag kunne vi nyde siestaen, inden vi på denne turens eneste fridag blev splittet til marked, Pittastedet m.v.

Om morgenen lykkedes det at finde Indian Pitta ved pittastedet overfor Thai Hollyday nær Fort Aguada. I tilgift fik en del af gruppen set Tickells Thrush, som også kan være en af rariteterne på dette lokale toilet. 12

13 Fra en strandbar kunne vi før middag kigge på slangeørn, Lesser Adjudant samt den lokale havørn. Eftermiddagen var hensat til Saligao Zor, et bakket skovområde beliggende mindre end en halv times kørsel fra hotellet. Ved ankomsten kredsede i alt 5 forskellige rovfuglearter over os: Changeable Hawk Eagle, Oriental Honey-buzzard, Booted Eagle, Black Kite og Brahminy Kite. Stedets hovedatraktion er afgjort Brown Wood Owl, som holder til i de gamle træer over kilden. Det lykkedes at finde et flot eksemplar. Hittet blandt småfuglene blev så afgjort Crimson Sunbird.

Kl. 6 blev vi afhentet af Lloyd, der i sin rustikke bus kørte os til Bondla, et område der på mange måder minder om Molem. En mindre Zoo midt i parken gør kun gavn ved at tiltrække småfugle. Imens vi indtog den af Lloyd arrangerede morgenmad, kiggede vi på bl.a. fotogene Malabar Grey Hornbills. Hele dagen blev der birdet i Zoo-området, kun afbrudt af frokost på den lokale restaurant. Det blev til hyggelige gentagelser af arter fra Molem, dog med en Common Woodshrike som nyhed. En stor oplevelse var mindst 5 jagende Grey Nightjar ved en åben sø i tusmørket. Vi prøvede uden held ved hjælp af båndafspiller at lokke Sri lanka Frogmouth til det må blive en anden gang. Ved 21tiden kunne vi indtage aftensmaden efter en lang dag. 13

Turen gik atter til Lake Carambolim og marker, denne dag med vores lokale taxachauffører. Vandstanden på markerne var faldet betydeligt, så mange vadere som damklirer og sibiriske hjejler var dukket op i pæne antal. Hvidskægget terne og en overflyvende Darter ved søen var nye for turen. Et stop ved rismarker omkring byen Banastari som chaufførerne kendte, var særdeles vellykket. En flok på 18 Black-headed Ibis imellem forskellige hejrearter, Brown Shrike, citronvipstjert og begge bekkasinarter fik gang i adrenalinet. Et lignende område i nærheden gav sortklire og stylteløber som nye turarter. Endnu et sted på hjemvejen ved navn Green Valley blev besøgt, et område med lotus sø og godt med småfugle i træer og buske langs søbredden. Forinden havde vi kigget over hegnet til det tilknappede Ciba Geigi, og konstateret at Indian Cormorant stadig kan ses her.

Kl.6.30 afgang fra hotellet med kurs mod Maem Lake. Før Lloyds medbragte morgenmad kiggede vi atter forgæves efter fiskeuglen. Et par Yellow Crown Woodpecker vakte begejstring, hvilket en doven siddende, flyvende og skrigende Crested Serpent Eagle også gjorde. På vej til en restaurant i Mopusa lykkedes det endelig for alle at se en White-Rumped Volture, oven i købet tæt på. En mindre gruppe kørte ud til nærliggende stubmarker, som vi passerede dagen før. Ashy-crowned Sparrow-Lark, Streak-throated Swallow samt blåhals gjorde absolut stedet besøgsværdigt. Denne sidste aften blev fejret på behørig vis på en lille fiskerestaurant ved havet.
