Introduction
This
report is based on a seven day birding trip to Western Java, from 12th
to 18th February 2009, which was organised together with Indra
Ferdinand (Freddy’s Homestay). The original trip for nine days included for a two
day visit to Gunung Halimun but as the trip had to be shortened by two days,
this part of the itinerary was missed out on. The focus of the trip was on the
Javan endemics and a total of 157 species were seen during the seven days of
birding.Telaga Warna - Tea plantation with forest on hills |
Birding
highlights were breeding Milky Storks, Javan Hawk-Eagle, Spotted Kestrel, Javan
Plover, Javan Kingfisher, Javan Scops-owl, Salvadori’s Nightjar, Javan
Frogmouth, Javan Trogon, Rufous-fronted Laughingthrush, Javan Kingfisher, Fire-tufted
Barbet, Banded Pitta, Mountain Serin (9 birds), Horsfield’s Thrush, Javan
Whistling Thrush, Spotted Crocias, Javan Cochoa, Sunda Fortail, Sunda Blue
Robin, White-breasted Babbler, Javan Tesia, Javan Bush-Warbler, White-bellied
Fantail, White-flanked Sunbirds and the Tawny-breasted Parrotfinch.
The trip took place during the wet season, between business meetings in Jakarta, so whilst not the best time of year for birding, the trip did produce some interesting birds which may not have been seen during the dry season.
The rainfall during the trip was much less than expected and heavy rain only affected a day and a half of birding, with the rain often falling during the night or early morning. Mosquitoes were not a concern and it was surprising how few were encountered. Leeches were also not encountered except for the one evening birding close to Cibodas, next to the reed beds, where they were particularly prevalent.
Even though the weather was pleasant and cool, the high humidity especially in the early morning took some getting used to.
At this time of year Indonesia is lush and green, with lots of water in the wetlands. In particular Jakarta is quite clean and does not have the hazy skies which are encountered in the dry season. In addition the parks are not busy even on the weekends.
Itinerary
The curtailed itinerary was as follows:- 12
February - Departed
Jakarta at 6am and travelled to Cibodas, with a short stop at Telaga Warna
to look for the Javan Hawk-Eagle, Javan Munia and Sunda Bush-Warbler. Birding
at the Cibodas Botanical Garden from 9am until nightfall, to look for the Javan
Scops Owls and the Salvadori’s Nightjar in the evening. Stayed at Freddy’s
Home Stay.
- 13
February - Full day
birding in the Gunung Gede National Park walking up the track to about 1km
before the Air Panas hot springs, before heavy rain intervened after
midday. Stayed at Freddy’s Home Stay.
- 14
February - Full day
birding in the Gunung Gede National Park walking up the track to about 0.5km
before the Air Panas hot springs. Continued in evening to look for Javan
Frogmouth. Stayed at Freddy’s Home Stay.
- 15
February - Half day
birding at the Cibodas Botanical Garden until heavy rain intervened. Stayed
at Freddy’s Home Stay.
- 16
February – Left
Cibodas at 4am in order to miss the traffic in Jakarta and travelled westwards
to Pulau Dua. Stopped at wetlands close to Pulau Dua for the Javan Plover
and other waders. Walked across the fish farm embankments to get to Pulau
Dua. In afternoon travelled further onto Carita. Evening birding to look
for Javan Owlet. Stayed at Sunset Beach Hotel.
- 17
February – Early morning visit to area
behind the Carita village for the Banded Pitta. Most of the day spent birding
at Carita on the trail up to the Gurug Gendang waterfall. In afternoon
travelled further down the coast to a harbour for late lunch and for the
seabirds. Evening birding at Carita to look for the Javan Owlet. Stayed at
Sunset Beach Hotel.
- 18
February - Early morning departure for
Muara Angke and Pulau Rambut. Arrived just before midday and took a small
speedboat out to Pulau Rambut. As winds were picking up, left after a 1½
hour visit and took a rough and wet ride back to Muara Angke. Spent the rest
of the afternoon at the Muara Angke Wetland Reserve. Returned to hotel in
Jakarta in evening.
Gunung Gede-Pangrango National Park
This national park encompasses the two volcanoes
Gunung Gede (2,958 m) and Gunung Pangrango (3,019 m) and covers an area of
15,000 ha. The track to the summit of Gunung Gede starts as a paved drive
running along the golf course near the entrance of the Cibodas Botanical
Gardens. The main track to the Gunung Gede summit goes past the Cibeureum
Waterfalls (3.5 km distance) and the Air Panas hot springs (6 km distance). The track to the hot springs is then continued
on to reach the summit. Cibodas Botanical Gardens |
Tawny-breasted Parrotfinch |
The trail up to the Air Panas hot springs on the first morning produced two Sunda Thrush plus nine Mountain Serin in a pine tree, in the area between the golf course and the entrance gate to the national park. Several White-bellied Fantails were seen in the lower parts of the forest, as was a Sunda Cuckoo-Shrike, eight Pygmy Tit, four Horsfield’s Babbler, five flying Yellow-throated Hanging Parrots and two Spotted Crocias. Further up the track to the hot springs, two Crimson-winged Woodpecker and two Fire-tufted Barbets were seen up close. Several Javan Tesia were seen, one bird being particularly tame, plus an Eye-browed Thrush which appears to an unusual sighting for the area.
The second morning on the trail to the hot springs produced a close-up Javan Trogon, three Fire-tufted Barbets, four Rufous-fronted Laughing Thrush and a Javan Cochoa, all within a few meters of each other, close to the hot springs. Unfortunately I didn't take my camera on the second day as it was completely soaked from the heavy rain on the first day.

Pulau
Dua
Although
Pulau means “island”, this is actually not an island, but a patch of mangrove
forest and coastal scrub jutting out into the sea. This would be a difficult
site to find without a guide and in our case we had organised a guide from
Carita who said that he knew the area. Basically one drives through the back roads and stops at a village due south of the mangroves. From the village we walked along the muddy banks through the area of fish-ponds. We met a security guard along the banks of the fish-ponds and he knew the local birds very well, so he joined the party which by now consisted of myself and three guides.
Before we visited Pulau Dua, we overshot the stopping point and went past a number of wetlands and exposed mud areas. At one place we stopped and saw at least six Javan Plover plus other waders such as Red-necked Stint, Marsh Sandpiper and Common Sandpiper. There were also numerous Mossy-nest Swiftlet, Golden-bellied Gerygone, Purple Heron, Grey Heron, Glossy Ibis, Javan Pond Heron and Javan Munia in the area. Several White-headed Munia were also seen from the roadside.
The fish ponds were good for Sunda Teal, Small Blue Kingfishers, Streaked Weaver, Island Collared Dove, Clamorous Reed-Warbles, Zitting Cisticola, various munia and waders such as Pacific Golden Plover.
The mangroves and beaches at Pulau Dua were good for Rainbow Bee-eater, Golden-bellied Gerygone, Pied Fantail and Christmas Island Frigatebird, plus we could hear Javan White-eye but couldn’t locate them in the mangroves. Saw a Black Kite close up on the shore line and this species is not recorded in the field guide for Java.
Carita
Carita is a
beach resort town for people from Jakarta, however at the time of the visit
most of the holiday accommodation was closed up. The main birding is along a
3.5 km long trail that leads to a Gurug Gendang
waterfall.
Within a couple of hundred meters from the trail-head the Sunset Beach Resort is
located on the main road through the town. The volcano of Krakatau is clearly
visible from Carita and from the trail up to the waterfalls. Krakatau is clearly visible from Carita |
The forest is mixed farming and unspoilt lowland tropical forest. There was no evidence of logging in the area at the time of the visit. As the forest is more open than some of the forest at Gunung Gede birding is a bit easier.
Waterfall at top of trail |
The main target bird being the Banded Pitta was located in the forest overlooking the village and was seen in the early morning close to some bamboo clusters, in the open grassed area. The other target which is the White-breasted Babbler was seen further up the waterfall trail in the dense forest.
Other
interesting birds seen were the Scaly-crowned Babbler, Grey-headed Fish Eagle,
Crescent Serpent-Eagle, Grey-cheeked Tit-Babbler, Small Minivet and Scarlet
Minivet. In the evening the Javan Owlet was located and seen briefly in flight.
This bird is often seen around the village in the evening hawking for insects.
Unusual birds
seen were the Red-eyed Bulbul which according to the field guide has not been
reported in mainland Java and only on the Mata Siri Islands and the Moustached
Hawk-Cuckoo which is an uncommon bird for West Java and there are no recent
reports.
Muara Angke
Muara Angke Wildlife
Reserve is a small wetland reserve in the north-western suburbs of Jakarta and
is still a good place to connect with the rare Sunda Coucal. The wetland is
nowadays surrounded by buildings and a huge shopping centre, however when
viewed from the sea there are quite extensive mangrove forests. Refer to www.jakmangrove.org for further information. Entry to the reserve needs to be arranged beforehand, however in our case as we were going to Pulau Rambut, we managed to get access easily, probably helped because one of the guides knew the local reserve staff.
The boardwalk has
been refurbished and it’s an excellent birding spot for waterbirds, in
particular we saw Black Bittern, Yellow Bittern, Chestnut-winged Cuckoo, Sunda
Woodpecker, Small Blue Kingfisher and White-breasted Waterhen. Indra also saw
the Sunda Coucal close to the entrance gate.
Pulau Rambut
Pulau
Rambut is a small island that holds
the last significant large waterbird colony in Jakarta Bay. We travelled to the
island by means of a very uncomfortable speed boat which crashed through the
swell.
On
the way across to the island, we saw White-bellied Sea-Eagles and Christmas
Island Frigatebirds.
Once
ashore, we headed for the observation tower, where we had a great view across
the island. The trees were full of Little Black Cormorant, Black-crowned
Night-Heron (+200), Purple Heron, Grey Heron, Striated Heron, four species of
Egret plus 14 Milky Storks which were nesting. Lower down we also saw Pied
Imperial Pigeon, Javan Myna (only ones for the trip), Black-naped Oriole and
Oriental Magpie-Robin.
South Jakarta
I
stayed at the Gran Mahakam hotel in South Jakarta and it is in a fairly quiet
part of Jakarta. At the back of the hotel the roads are closed to traffic and
there are quite a few large trees making it a good area for birding,
considering it’s in Jakarta. View over Jakarta from Hotel |
Interesting birds seen were Red-breasted Parakeet (Independence Memorial Park), Coppersmith Barbet, Scarlet-headed Flowerpecker, Yellow-vented Bulbul, Sooty-headed Bulbul and Brown-throated Sunbird.
Literature Used

4.

Of the
literature used, only the Field Guide by John MacKinnon and Karen Phillipps is
of any real use for birding in the field. The Photographic Guide is missing too
many birds to be of real use for birding in Java.
As has been noted by Susan Myers there are problems with a couple of
illustrations:
Fulvous-breasted Woodpecker
|
The Javan race of this species does NOT
have red undertail coverts; they are a washed out pale pink
|
White-bibbed Babbler
|
The distinctive blue eye wattle (somewhat
similar to that of Chestnut-rumped Babbler) is not illustrated and the jizz
of the bird is totally wrong.
|
Spotted Crocias
|
The underparts of this species are a
distinctive pale lemon yellow NOT white as shown in the illustration and
stated in the text
|
Indigo Flycatcher
|
The Javan race of this species does NOT
have a yellowish vent
|
White-Browed Shrike-Babbler
|
The Javan race of this species
does not resemble the illustration in the field guide (my comments).
|
Blue Nuthatch
|
The Javan race of this species
has far more white around the eye than illustrated in the field guide (my
comments).
