3 Forord: Fra den januar 2007 afholdt DOF-Travel sin fjerde stortur til den lille indiske delstat Goa. Turen var tilrettelagt i samarbejde med My-Travel grupperejser, der sørgede for fly og hotelophold. Vi boede på Resort Lagoa Azul, der ligger ud til vådområder og marker i Little Baga. Til de daglige ekskursioner benyttede vi den lokale chauffør og fugleguide Lloyd Fernandes, som vi har gode erfaringer med. Udover at transportere os rundt i sin 16 personers bus arrangerede Lloyd morgenmadsbuffet i det fri, hvilket betød, at vi kunne starte tidligt om morgenen ofte før solopgang. Hjemmefra havde vi booket plads for to nætter i teltlejren Backwoods Camp, der ligger i udkanten af naturreservatet the Bhagwan Mahaveer Wildlife Sanctuary. Udover opholdet i Backwoods arrangerede Backwoodsdrengene (Leio, Loven og Pramod) en bådtur på River Zuari med Collared Kingfisher som hovedattraktion. Vejret i Goa er på denne årstid godt: skyfrit med en let til jævn vind. Temperaturen lå i dagstimerne omkring 30 de første 10 dage, siden steg den, og nåede et max. på 39 den 14. januar. Nat- og morgentemperaturene var noget lavere, og om morgenen var der oftest behov for både trøje og lange bukser. Hermed en tak til samtlige deltagere for en uforglemmelig tur, der bød på mange store (fugle)oplevelser. Ebbe og Thomas. 3

6 2. januar 2007 Dag 0 Vi mødtes i Kastrup lufthavn omkring kl Vi kom relativ hurtigt gennem indcheckning og gik op i afgangshallen, hvor kun en enkelt kasse i den toldfri havde åben, og lukkede straks efter, at passagerene til Goa havde gjort deres indkøb. Vi mellemlandede i Dubai, hvilket gav nogle enkelte gode fuglearter samt mulighed for indkøb. Efter ankomst i Goa bragte en næsten to timers bustur os til hotellet Lagoa Azul. Middagen blev indtaget på den lille restaurant lige om hjørnet - Alle fik Chicken Tikka Massala og Kingfisher Beer s.

Januar 2007 Dag 1 Kl stod alle parat til en gåtur omkring hotellet. Det var overvældende hvad der var af fugle. En stork her, en isfugl der en bulbul i krattet og en vipstjert på taget osv. Efter turen omkring hotellet stod den på morgenmad, derefter pengeveksling og derfra videre til Baga Fields. I langsomt tempo og med masser af fine fugleoplevelser bevægede vi os nordpå, mod Sunset Restaurant, hvor vi spiste frokost. Efter frokost stod den på badning og fuglekigning ved stranden. Eftermiddagen brugte vi atter på Baga Fields, hvor især en stor flok Rosenstære og en mindre flok flotte hætteværlinger begejstrede. Dagen blev afsluttet på Hotel Biera Mar med drinks, Ruddy-breasted Crake UDSIGT FRA VÆRELSET: HOTEL LAGOA AZUL KL PHOTO: THOMAS W. JOHANSEN og Painted Snipe.

8 4. Januar 2007 Dag 2 Klokken 6.15 præcis holdt Lloyd og ventede på os i sin bus. Vi kørte direkte til Carambolim Fields. Hvad blot skulle være en kort formiddagstur til markerne udviklede sig til et længere besøg - der var simpelthen nye fugle at kigge på hele tiden. Mest opsigtsvækkende var to (et par) Røde Avadater, som desværre kun blev set af Carl Erik og Thomas samt hele 52 Terekklirer på højvandsrast. Dagen blev afsluttet på Divar Island, hvor vi så hele fem fine Steppehøge samt 1700 korttået lærker. Aftenen blev afsluttet med en god middag og en familie af Slørugler.

Januar 2007 Dag 3 Dagen skulle først og fremmest byde på mågekiggeri på Morjim Beach. Skuffelsen var stor da vi ved ankomsten til strande kunne konstatere, at alle mågerne fløj op ad floden. Der gik dog ikke lang tid, før en fin samling indeholdende alle sandsynlige måger, kom tilbage og stod på stranden. Ud over havet opdagede Kurt dagens hit: 2 Almindelige kjover der jagede måger og terne langt til havs. Efter at have trampet hele 14 løbehøns op, gik vi på småfuglelusk i haver og krat indenfor stranden, hvilket gav mange fine småfugle. Særligt skal fremhæves Tickell s Blue Flycatcher og et par Indian Silverbill. Efter Morjim gik turen til Siolim, hvor alle håbede på Grey-headed Lapwing. Vi blev ikke skuffet, og desuden var vi vidner til et fint ørneshow med Crested Serpant Eagle, Stor Skrigeørn og Indisk Skrigeørn, der fløj rundt på nært hold. Ebbe var heldig, han så to Orientalske Braksvaler, som desværre fløj væk, og aldrig sås igen. Frokosten blev indtaget på en dejlig fiskerestaurant ved stranden i Anjuna. Her stod menuen på en yderst delikat fiskebuffet. Mens vi sad og dasede, drak kølige drinks og ventede på maden, så vi atter to Almindelige Kjover - hvad sker der? Arten er meget sjælden i Indien - ikke mindst i Goa. Efter frokosten gik vi tur på Anjuna Fields, som kunne diske op med fine Mongolske Pibere og til vores overraskelse en Yellow-wattled Lapwing. På hjemvejen besøgte vi kort Apora Wood, som bød på et flot par Crimson Sunbirds. En helt fantastisk dag med mange overraskelser.

11 6. januar 2007 Dag 4 Vi blev hentet fra hotellet kl og nåede Mayen Lake kl Vi indtog morgenmaden så hurtigt som muligt, og begav os ud i området. Det startede trægt, og først efter et par timer var fuglene oppe i et fornuftigt gear. Vi fik set rigtig mange fine arter, men særligt bør to Nilgiri Woodpigeons nævnes. Efter Mayem besøgte vi Tikanem, hvor en Lesser Adjudant spankulerede rundt samt 21 Asian Openbills der fløj ind og landede i mangroven. Ude i området stod 85 Sorte Ibis. Dagen sluttede efter en besøg på Charao Island ved Saligao Zor, hvor vi c. kl hørte Brown Woodowl.

13 7. januar 2007 Dag 5 Vi blev hentet kl ved hotellet, og kørt til lejren i Backwoods. I forhold til kysten var temperaturen dalet adskillige grader, og en fleecetrøje blev pludselig nødvendig i de tidlige morgen- og sene aftentimer. I Backwoods blev vi guidet rundt af Leio, som viste sig at være en kanon guide. Vi gjorde et par givtige stop på vej til lejren. Efter morgenmaden gik vi ind i skoven og om eftermiddagen var vi ved tempelet for at kigge rovfugle mv.

14 8. Januar 2007 Dag 6 Dagen startede med en lang smuk gåtur. Vi blev kørt til tempelet, hvorfra vi gik frem og tilbage langs floden. Turen var lang men også meget givtig. Især bør nævnes hele fire Blue-eared Kingfisher og en Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher. Om formiddagen besøgte vi Hr. og Fru Frogmouth, og gik tur langs skoven ved Backwoods. Eftermiddagen blev brugt ved en bro over floden. Om aftenen besøgte vi lava bakkerne, hvor vi så både Grey og Jerdons Nightjar.

15 9. Januar 2007 Dag 7 Vi stod atter op før daggry og mødtes til te kl Vi startede ved en skolegård, hvor vi udover mange fine fugle, eksempelvis en meget smuk Lotens Sunbird så samtlige skoleklasser stå ret og høre dagens nyheder læst op fra en avis. Turens sidste gåtur i Backwoods var helt fugletom, og varede derfor kun 50 minutter, hvilket gav os mulighed for at luske langs skovkanten og i lejren. Pludselig blev der råbt og skreget, og før vi vidste af det, var vi på vej ind i skoven for at se Spot-bellied Eagle Owl - og det lykkedes! Lidt i tre gik turen hjemad, og kl ankom vi til hotellet.

16 10. Januar 2007 Dag 8 En rolig dag i Baga området. Dagen blev brugt på Apora Wood, i markerne og med indkøb på diverse markeder. Apora Wood var pragtfuldt.

17 11. Januar 2007 Dag 9 I dag gik turen den lange vej til Velim Lake, hvor der skulle kigges ænder og rovfugle. Det helt store håb for turen var, at vi skulle være heldige at falde over en grib.

Idag går turen til Bondla. Turen tager 1 ½ time. Bondla er rigtig godt. Især tager det for alvor fat, da vi inde i selve den zoologiske have støder på turens største fugletog. Vi bruger hele dagen i Bondla, og det lykkedes os at se fine arter som Blue-capped Rock Thrush og Forest Wagtail.

Idag skulle vi ud at sejle på Zuari River. Næppe var vi kommet ud af havnen, før en flok Pukkeldelifiner hilste os velkomen. Turen forløb planmæssigt. Vi så masser af fine terne, som sad på hver sin pæl. Inde i mangroven så vi Little Heron og Collered Kingfisher. En af sejlturens helt store oplevelser kom med en kæmpe stor krokodille, der lå med snude og øjne stikkende op ad vandet. Eftermiddagen gik med en tur til Anjuna Fields, hvor vi talte ikke mindre end 25 Mongolske Pibere samt 38 Yellow-wattled Lapwing. Vi blev på Anjuna Beach og spiste en dejlig middag, mens vi så solen forsvinde i det Indiske Ocean.

21 14. Januar 2007 Dag 12 Den sidste dag med Lloyd. Vi blev hentet på hotellet kl. 6.30, og kørt direkte til Carambolim Lake. Her var målet at finde de sidste tre andearter til listen samt at få set en god Jungle Owlet - det lykkedes. Efter morgenmad og lidt småfugle obs gik turen til Carambolim Fields. Her blev der atter set ugler, hele tre arter af slagsen, og igen fik vi set Jungle Owlet rigtig godt. Vi spiste frokost i Old Goa, hvor vi også holdt pause, så der var tid til at kigge på den fine gamle kirke. Vi drog derefter til Divar Island, for at kigge lidt rovfugle, og hvile under det stor fine skyggefulde træ. Desværre var der en flok fulde indiske mænd der havde fået samme ide, så det blev der ikke meget ud af. Om aftenen var vi inviteret hjem til Lloyd. Her diskede hans søde kone og utrolig velopdragne børn op med goanske snacks og cola. Besøget varede i ca. en time og var meget hyggeligt.
