June 19, 2023 - Bar-winged Prinia or Bar-winged Wren-warbler (Prinia familiaris)

Found on the islands of Sumatra, Java, and Bali in Indonesia, these prinias live in a variety of habitats, including scrubland, mangroves, gardens, and parks. Foraging alone or in pairs during the breeding season and in flocks of 12 to 15 birds at other times of the year, they eat insects and their larvae, picking prey from leaves and the ground. They build oblong domed nests with top entrances attached with spiderwebs and plant fibers to low shrubs near the ground. Females lay clutches of two to four eggs. They are classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN due to recent population declines caused by trapping for the songbird trade.

Prinia familiaris 

[witchstone]

took myself off impromptu to one of the local nature reserves on thursday (despite it probably not being a good idea since the rolling black outs often mean no cell phone signal which means. no way of getting home) and w o w did i see a lot

TWO different kinds of duiker, which i haven't seen there in years thanks to local dogs killing them (common grey duiker and a group of blue duiker who hadn't heard that they're supposed to be shy), brown-backed honeybird (!), tambourine dove, sombre + yellow-bellied greenbul (!), palmnut vulture flying overhead (!), southern tchagra (!), cape + chinspot batis, black saw-wing (!), golden-tailed woodpecker, african paradise + african dusky + southern black flycatcher, terrestrial brownbul, green-backed camaroptera, tawny-flanked prinia, red-capped robin-chat, white-browed scrub-robin (!), amethyst + collared sunbird, neddicky, grey waxbill (!), golden-breasted bunting (!), yellow-throated longclaw (!), red-backed mannikin, yellow-fronted canary and the usuals (speckled mousebird, purple-crested turaco, red-eyed dove, fork-tailed drongo, bulbul etc etc). also heard bar-throated apalis, olive sunbird, black-collared barbet, golden-rumped tinkerbarbet, crowned eagle and black-headed oriole.

no new ticks, but two confirmed ticks of the black saw-wings (flitting about on the forests edge) and finally a confirmed visual of the yellow-bellied greenbul. very excited to see the palmnut vulture. grey waxbill was nice too, since i've only seen it once before, and the brown-backed honeybird was only my third sighting. didn't get any photos, i ran out of memory before i'd even left the forest area lol. overall 46 species including calls, which isn't bad for two hours in the afternoon
