Sumatran Ground-Cuckoo

Birding on Nias

The recently split Nias Wood Owl.


From Birdlife Int website:

Birds Although this island has no endemic bird but it has many endemic sub-species, including Psittacula alexandri perionca (and Psittacula alexandri major in Banyak Island). From around 23 endemic bird sub-species Dymond (1994) failed to find 8 sub-species. Thiollay (1996b) confirmed record for Spizaetus nanus stresemanni. Other important species are Large Green-Pigeon Treron capellei (Dymond in 1994 recorded for the first time), Cinnamon-headed Green-Pigeon Treron fulvicolis, and endemic sub-species Gracula religiosa robusta, the favourite in bird market. Other species which might be present are Great-billed Heron Ardea sumatrana, Malaysian Plover Charadrius peronii, and Beach Thick-knee Burhinus giganteus. Probably the remaining forest can not support Nicobar Pigeon Caloenas nicobarica.

Birding on Enggano

Enggano White-eye
Enggano Thrush (Chestnut-capped Thrush)
Enggano Scops Owl
Enggano (Hill) Myna


Cuckoo-dove
Sunda Thrush
Hawk eagle
mt imperial pigeon
Serpent Eagle




You start from Bengkulu. Boats are irregular. I have been advised to find a boat with a good captain... and take pills against seasickness.

Birding on Simeulue

The only endemic bird is the Simeulue Scops Owl

But Silvery Wood Pigeon may also occur and there are a couple of interesting subspecies.

Psittacula alexandri

There are now regular flights from Medan.

Birding on Siberut

The only endemic is the Mentawai Scops Owl -- said to be common.
I saw a frogmouth but failed to photograph it or make sound recordings.

Had good views on Storms Stork and Great-billed Herons.

There are many endemic subspecies though.
In general very little is known about the birds on these islands.

Watch out for Silvery Wood Pigeon,

Some 4000 hectares of primary rainforest is protected by the Siberut Conservation Project (SCP):
