menetries ' s warbler has a rather long , melodic song , slightly hurried and abrupt in tempo , reminiscent of that of the common nightingale ( luscinia megarhyncho ) . to maintain contact with other members of its flock , menetries ' s warbler produces a hard , buzzing rattle - like call ( 2 ) .
the migratory menetries ' s warbler has a large breeding range stretching from south - central asia through to western asia . during winter , menetries ' s warbler populations travel south and south - west of their breeding range ( 2 ) to regions stretching from north - east africa to iran ( 4 ) . vagrants have been recorded in portugal , nigeria and spain ( 5 ) .

menetries ' s warbler is a monogamous bird that breeds between april and july ( 2 ) . upon arrival at the breeding grounds , the male menetries ' s warbler almost immediately starts performing ‘song - flights’ to attract a suitable female . flying up to four metres above the ground , the male sings and flutters his quivering wings as he ascends , before returning to a perch and repeating the process ( 3 ) .
first described by the french zoologist édouard ménétries in 1832 ( 4 ) , menetries ' s warbler has a heavy bill , flat crown and a fairly long black tail which appears to be constantly moving . the male menetries ' s warbler has a dull black head , greyish - brown upperparts and pinkish - white to pinkish - brown underparts . the female has a rusty coloured head , grey to sandy - brown upperparts and brown to buff - white underparts . juvenile menetries ' s warblers are very similar in appearance to the adult female ( 3 ) , except the plumage is ‘warmer’ and buffier ( 2 ) .
rather small , quite slim , and elegant warbler , with rather short bill . male blue - grey above , dark pink - chestnut belw , with white moustachial stripe . female grey - brown above , buff - white below . sexes dissimilar , no seasonal variation but rare pale birds occurin nominate , suggesting menetries’s warbler .
as a result of its extremely large range , menetries ' s warbler is not thought to be threatened with extinction . the population appears to be stable and there is no evidence to suggest any substantial threats to the species ( 5 ) .
menetries ' s warbler breeds on islands and east coast of aral sea , and in syrdarya valley . on migration occurs regularlyu in foothills of western tien shan and once on islands of caspian sea . please see detailed distribution in the section subspecies .
the typically shy , wary and restless menetries ' s warbler feeds primarily on arthropods , especially insects and their larvae and eggs , but also on grasshoppers , bugs , moths , butterflies , ants , wasps and beetles ( 2 ) . these invertebrates are often plucked from stems and foliage as menetries ' s warbler forages at low heights in scrub and small bushes ( 2 ) ( 3 ) . outside of the breeding season , this bird also consumes various berries , fruits and seeds ( 2 ) .

menetries ' s warbler is generally found in arid or semi - arid conditions where it favours treeless scrub covering valley bottoms , dry mountain slopes , along riverbanks and desert fringes . it is often associated with bushy tamarisk plants ( tamarix species ) . this species is also found in human - altered habitats such as palm groves , gardens and orchards . during migration , it has been reported in less favourable habitats , such as woodland and areas with scattered trees . menetries ' s warbler occurs from sea - level up to 200 metres ( 2 ) .
menetries ' s warbler ( sylvia mystacea ) is a small to medium - sized warbler characterised by the white stripe that runs from the base of the bill across the cheek ( 2 ) ( 3 ) . in fact it is this stripe that lent the species its scientific name , as ‘ mystacea’ derives from the greek word ‘ mustax’ , meaning moustache ( 4 ) .
menetries ' s warbler usually produces one brood each year , although in some regions , such as lowland azerbaijan , it produces two - one in late may and the next in early july . the nest , which is built by both the male and female over 5 days , is placed up to 90 centimetres off the ground in low grassland , scrub , bushes and young trees . the female lays between 4 and 6 eggs which are incubated by both parents for around 11 to 13 days ( 2 ) . menetries ' s warbler eggs appear glossy white or faintly tinged green , profusely speckled with brown - grey spots ( 3 ) . menetries ' s warbler nests are known to be destroyed by trampling camels and the nestlings may be preyed on by snakes , common magpies , foxes , cats and dogs ( 2 ) . the young are able to open their eyes around 3 days after hatching and are fed equally by both parents for 10 to 11 days before vacating the nest . unable to fly , the young take to resting under bushes to hide from predators ( 3 ) . menetries ' s warbler leaves its breeding range between august and october to migrate south for winter ( 2 ) .

the birds listed in this itinerary are the species most common to the itinerary ' s habitats . those listed are only about 25 % of the species the group are probable to find on this expedition . this list focuses on endemic and other species most probable to find in the latter half of may .
born on 21st september 1974 in nicosia . upon attending primary school , high school and lycee in nicosia he went to study physiotherapy at i̇stanbul university . he then got a master’s degree in business administration at the european university of lefke . he also received education on ostheopathy . since his childhood saydam had a passion for nature and during his education on ostheopathy ( 2006 ) this passion was , with the help of photography , transformed into bird and nature photography . he has conducted a lot of field studies in cyprus . he has especially conducted observatory research on the only living bonelli’s eagle in cyprus and has contributed to an international scientific article written in north cyprus on this subject .
the reserve ' s fauna includes the syrian brown bear , indian wolf , forest cat and caucasian lynx . . it also has a diverse range of birds , including the golden eagle ( aquilla chrysaetos ) , egyptian vulture ( neophron percnopterus ) , griffon vulture ( gyps fulvus ) , but especially bearded vulture ( gypaetus barbatus ) and monk vulture ( aegypius monachus ) .
azerbaijan is a wonderful place for birdwatching . tucked in its relatively small space are environments ranging from alpine to subtropical , and this makes a home for a wide range of life , including birds . some 365 species of birds have been recorded in azerbaijan . these range from the large and spectacular - such as flamingos and eagles - to many kinds of waterfowl , colourful bee - eaters , rollers and hoopoe , and numerous small brown warblers that strain even the expert ' s identification skills .
a natural wonder lying on one of the world ' s major bird migration routes , armenia has a total of three hundred and forty nine species , or fifty per cent of those that inhabit europe , including hard - to - find species ( great white pelican , dalmatian pelican , demoiselle stork , black stork , egrets , herons , great flamingo and the eurasian spoonbill , among others ) . bird - watching in armenia with world - class specialists is fast becoming an expedition of choice for world tourists .
he reserve‘s activity is focused on the protection and reproduction of the goitered gazelle ( gazella sulgutturosa ) , waterfowl birds and typical plant biotypes of the shirvan lowland . the area is 25800 hectares , of which 3500 hectares are water reservoirs . there are bustards , francolins , little bustard ( otis tetrax ) , white - tailed eagle ( haliaeetus albicilla ) , steppe eagle ( aquila nipalensis ) , saker falcon ( falco cherrug ) etc . . in winter , there are many migratory birds on the water bodies such as grey geese .
not only geographically but politically and ecologically , azerbaijan feels like a frontier country at the very edge of europe . still well outside of the traditional , ‘safe’ set of birding trips for the western palearctic , it offers superb landscapes and incredible birding , the stra nge prospect of still wandering in deciduous forests alongside the watchful eyes of leopards , bears and wolves , and the less welcome ‘frontier’ issues of dangerous dogs , corrupt police , poor infrastructure and some truly dangerous road s . all in all , azerb aijan is the full whack - in every way .
the avian show keeps changing through the year . because of azerbaijan ' s relatively mild winters , many birds from farther north winter here . water birds by the thousands concentrate in the many wetlands , large and small , coastal and inland . among these birds are swans , geese , ducks , flamingos , and waders like black - tailed godwit , curlew , and snipe . along the coast , common and great black - headed gulls appear . over the land , hen harriers and a few peregrines and saker falcons hunt ; the latter two , unfortunately and illegally , are captured for lucrative sale to arab falconers . some species of small birds that nest farther north also come here for the winter . big flocks of meadow pipits and bramblings , for instance , roam the open areas , feeding on seeds . in the mountains , most birds of the alpine zone , like guldenstadt ' s redstart and the great rosefinch , are forced lower in winter by snow , some down to the river valleys . the kinds of birds you can see in winter - the peregrine for instance - may be composed of some individuals from farther north and some that are here all year . global warming may be increasing the number of species that habitually winter in azerbaijan .
this mountain , which rises to 3 , 629 meters , is sacred to many azeris , who make pilgrimages to it . i include it here as an excellent place to see alpine birds and enjoy the craggy scenery . late may through july is the season . the birds , most of which are infrequently seen at lower elevations , include the caucasian snowcock , caucasian grouse , great rosefinch , guldenstadt ' s redstart , red - fronted serin , snowfinch , and many others . it is 1½ days from baku . the usual route is from the guba side of the mountains , starting the trek from the village of garkhun or higher , depending on what your four - wheel - drive can negotiate .
arthropods a major grouping of animals that includes crustaceans , insects and arachnids . all arthropods have paired jointed limbs and a hard external skeleton ( exoskeleton ) . incubated kept warm so that development is possible . invertebrates animals with no backbone , such as insects , crustaceans , worms and spiders . larvae stage in an animal’s lifecycle after it hatches from the egg . larvae are typically very different in appearance to adults ; they are able to feed and move around but usually are unable to reproduce . monogamous having only one mate during a breeding season , or throughout the breeding life of a pair . territorial describes an animal , a pair of animals or a colony that occupies and defends an area . vagrants found occasionally outside normal range .
this road , running from the coastal lowland to a view of talish mountain peaks , follows a stream valley with the lushest , most beautiful forest i ' ve seen in azerbaijan . i include this area here because of the scenery and the potential for birds – i have not yet studied it carefully . the forest should have the usual complement of permanent residents such as tits , woodpeckers , and treecreepers , and summer birds such as semi - collared and red - breasted flycatchers . along the stream hunt for dippers . past lerik look for lammergeier ( bearded vulture ) , radde ' s accentor , alpine swift , snowfinch , alpine chough , and other birds of the high mountains . check the routes beyond lerik and see if permission and / or a military guide is needed to enter this area near the iranian border . the border guards may be suspicious of someone using binoculars .
this freshwater lake is the best birdwatching area near baku . red lake is full of birds , especially in winter . up the valley from it , extensive marshes hide lots of other birds . what you can see , of course , changes with the seasons . early summer is the low season , with a few ducks and herons hanging around and warblers and other small birds creeping about in the reeds . if you can get there just after sunrise , you may see purple swamphens catching the sun ' s warmth at the edge of the marsh below wolfgate . in late summer , migrating waders begin arriving , to feed on invertebrates in the mudflats . during the main autumn migration you can see a great variety of water birds : ducks , waders , herons , gulls , terns , & maybe a flamingo or two . as winter comes on , many of these disappear , but the duck and coot populations build up to hundreds . often these shovelers , mallards , the rare white - headed duck , and others are easily watched from the highway on the south side . other days you need to don rubber boots and trek the muddy west shore . almost always , you ' ll see marsh harriers coursing over the reeds , looking for prey .

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
justification : this species has an extremely large range , and hence does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km 2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . the population trend appears to be stable , and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .
the global population size has not been quantified . in europe , the breeding population is estimated to number 43 , 000 - 125 , 000 pairs , which equates to 86 , 000 - 250 , 000 mature individuals ( birdlife international 2015 ) . europe forms c . 20 % of the global range so a very preliminary estimate of the global population size is 430 , 000 - 1 , 250 , 000 mature individuals , although further validation of this estimate is needed . trend justification : the population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any current declines or substantial threats . the european population trend is unknown ( birdlife international 2015 ) .
during the breeding season this species occupies arid or semi - arid areas dominated by scrub and bush . it prefers treeless scrub covering valley bottoms and dry mountain slopes , and bushy tamarisk ( tamarix ) formations along riverbanks . it is also found in scrub in sparsely wooded areas , and in more anthropogenic landscapes such as palm groves , gardens and orchards . in the non - breeding season it is associated with scrub and low bushy vegetation . the breeding season is from early april to july and the species is monogamous . both sexes build the nest , which is a deep cup made of twigs , stems and grasses and lined with down and hair . it is usually sited in low grass , scrub , small bushes or young trees , from ground level to c . 70–90 cm . normally four to six eggs are laid . it feeds mainly on small arthropods , especially insects and their larvae and eggs but outside the breeding season it also takes various berries and fruits ( mostly autumn ) and seeds ( winter ) ( aymí and gargallo 2015 ) . the species is migratory , wintering in north - east africa , arabia and southern iran ( snow and perrins 1998 ) .
there are not thought to be any current significant threats to this species within europe .
conservation actions underway cms appendix ii . bern convention appendix ii . there are currently no known conservation measures for this species within europe . conservation actions proposed no conservation measures are currently needed for this species within europe .

a large , isolated haur to the west of the river tigris , about 35 km south - west of kut town . the haur receives overflow from irrigation canals and floodwater from the tigris . 2014 updates . dalmaj wetland contains both terrestrial habitats ranging from arid areas to true desert with sand dunes , and a large body of water that can be divided into an open - water lake reaching depths exceeding 2 m and true marshes with dense reedbeds and shallower water ( less than 1 m ) . the geology of the area is mesopotamian alluvium , mainly silts .
the site was listed as a wetland of international importance by carp ( 1980 ) , but no specific ornithological information is available .
no conservation measures are known to have been taken . there is no information on current threats to the site , but the site is likely to have suffered habitat degradation due to flood control measures on the tigris and expanding irrigation schemes in the area . no conservation measures are known to have been proposed . 2014 updates . additional high threats come from road construction , which is somewhat mitigated because of therelatively low scale of construction . there is also a high threat from commercial development . in addition , potentially problematic invasive species such as telapia zellii and namaqua dove are present . the dalmaj area faces several very high threats . a top one is hunting and poaching ( large numbers of ducks , other waterfowl , and fish are poached each year through the use of clap - nets , shotguns , and fishing nets ) . agriculture is also a very high threat as most of the dry land inside the site is used for wheat farming and very little remains untouched . additional high threats come from road construction , which is somewhat mitigated because of the relatively low scale of construction . there is also a high threat from commercial development . in addition , potentially problematic invasive species such as telapia zellii and namaqua dove are present .

distribution maps should be very cautiously looked at . they do not provide with precise location but only give an idea of species global distribution . distribution areas are geopolitical ; as a consequence the whole of a country is selected if a species is only located in one single place . for more precise distribution areas please go to iucn site ( see link above ) .
arriving in azerbaijan in the middle of august , the first days were used for organisational issues and meetings . i finally started bird ringing on the 20th of august . this month is rather hot with temperatures of more than 30°c during daytime and never below 20°c at night . several days were quite windy , which influenced the number of mist - netted birds . as i was alone the first weeks , i only used 54 metres of nets and due to the heat , nets were only opened for the first six hours after sunrise .
from the beginning of september onwards , there will be volunteers joining and helping with the fieldwork . together , we will be able to set up more mist - nets , and when weather is cooling a bit down , we can start with full - day ringing . as there also were fewer and fewer re - traps compared to the first couple of days , migration seems to be picking up – i am looking forward for the caughts to come !
we are a small group of birders regularly vistiting azerbaijan . in this blog we will post news about birding activities between the caucasus and the caspian sea . working in azerbaijan for years , we had numerous first records and could update the status of many species . but as hardly any western birders visited the country yet , every trip is still exciting and produces new fascinating observations . we hope that in the future more birdwatchers will visit this great hotspot of biodiversity and join our community .
send us your data ! if you go birding in azerbaijan , we are interested in your observations . an online data base is available now . for more information and if you need tips for organising a successful tour , please contact us at birdingaze

rarest bird in the world : the cone - billed tanager , the mystery .
atlapetes blancae , 8 years later , still not found . wish or species ?
breeds early april to late june in southern europe , early may to mid june in algeria . nest site located in low bushes , or occasionally low trees 30 - 150 cm above ground . nest is a deep , well - built cup of grass stems and leaves , also leaves and stalks of other herbs , with some roots and plant down , almost always with cobwebs in outer layers . lined with finer grasses , herbs , rootlets , and hair . 3 - 4 eggs are laid , incubation 11 - 12 days , by both sexes , in roughly equal turns .


belocephalus sleighti is a species of insect in the katydid family , tettigoniidae .

it is known commonly as the keys short-winged conehead katydid .

it is endemic to the united states .

belocephalus sleighti

no children of keys short - winged conehead katydid ( belocephalus sleighti ) found .
no one has contributed data records for belocephalus sleighti simplex yet . learn how to contribute .

belocephalus is the only genus of coneheads restricted to the united states . their closest relatives may be pyrgocorypha spp .
the populations of short - winged coneheads ( belocephalus ) fall readily into two species groups : greater short - winged coneheads , represented by sabalis , davisi , and sleighti , and lesser short - winged coneheads , represented by subapterus and micanopy . no locality has more than two populations of belocephalus , and , wherever two occur , one belongs to each group .
belocephalus sleighti has two generations per year . all other species have one , with peak adult numbers occurring in late summer or fall . with the exception of b . davisi , singing continues throughout the winter into the following spring . where the eggs are laid and how soon they hatch are unknown .
in south florida and along florida ' s east coast , absolute size is sufficient to place adult belocephalus in one species group or the other . elsewhere members of the two groups are similar enough in size to require separation by other means . [ see table above and the species pages of b . subapterus and b . davisi . ]

the collared petrel ( pterodroma brevipes ) is a species of seabird in the family procellariidae .

it is sometimes regarded as a subspecies of gould 's petrel ( p. leucoptera ) .

its breeding range is uncertain and it is currently known to breed only in fiji where it occurs on gau and possibly other islands .

it formerly bred in the cook islands and may still breed in vanuatu and the solomon islands .

it is an unconfirmed breeder in samoa , american samoa and french polynesia .

it nests on steep , forested slopes in a burrow or among tree roots .

it feeds in open seas and some disperse into the central pacific outside the breeding season .

the population from vanuatu was considered to be a new subspecies pterodroma brevipes magnificens in 2010 .

collared petrel

the collared petrel is classified as endangered ( en ) on the iucn red list ( 1 ) .
information on the collared petrel ( pterodroma brevipes ) is currently being researched and written and will appear here shortly .

the total population of gould ' s petrel is estimated at 3 , 000 - 21 , 000 individuals .
similar species : gould ' s petrel has a broader dark leading margin to the underwing than other small
cookilaria
gadfly petrel species ( including cook ' s , pycroft ' s , stejneger ' s , collared , black - winged ) . the species regularly present in new zealand waters ( cook ' s , pycroft ' s and black - winged petrels ) all have paler grey heads . stejneger ' s petrel is smaller with the dark ‘hood’ reduced to more of a cap ( with a broader white forehead , and a wedge of white below the ear , separating the cap from the dusky sides of the upper breast ) . the dark bar on the underwing is smaller and less prominent . collared petrel has variable incomplete - to - complete breast - band , and is sometimes entirely dark - bellied . the palest collared petrels are very similar to gould’s petrels , though with the hood not as dark and extensive . gould ' s petrels can have variable amounts of white on the face and forecrown .

in 2011 targeted searches of potential breeding islands in fiji were completed . this was followed by a study funded by the critical ecosystem partnership fund of birds attracted to lights at the historical breeding site nabukelevu / mt washington on the island of kadavu , fiji . nest boxes and acoustic attraction has been installed on nabukelevu . nest boxes and acoustic attraction have also been installed on the predator - free island of vatu - i - ra , fiji ( birdlife , 2012 ) . naturefiji / mareqetiviti have been studying the species on gau , initially recording numbers attracted to light during the breeding season and subsequently nest - finding with trained dogs . this has identified 88 breeding burrows . active and passive search methodologies have been developed and published for rapid assessment of collared petrel presence ( o’brien et al . 2016 ) .
gould ' s petrel is a small gadfly petrel with a white face that contrasts with a prominent dark hood covering the crown , neck and sides of the cheeks to below the eyes . the pale grey mantle grades to darker grey on the rump , and the rounded tail has a brown wash . the upperwings are dark brown - grey with an indistinctive blackish elongated ‘m’ extending across the back . the underparts are white , apart from a broad black margin to the underwing , with a dark diagonal bar running from the leading edge towards - but not reaching - the body . the slender , hooked bill is black , the eye is dark , and the legs and toes are pink with dark outer toes and webs . the sexes are similar and juveniles resemble adults . in flight , gould ' s petrel recalls a small shearwater but with less fluttering and shallower flight peaks ; it often adopts bat - like weaving flight and may rise high over the ocean .
gould ' s petrel is a small , dark - hooded gadfly petrel of the tasman sea , which is occasionally identified in new zealand coastal waters , or washed up on west coast beaches . there are two populations that cannot be distinguished at sea . the australian population is smaller in numbers , but is increasing in response to conservation management . the new caledonian population is large , but declining due to the impacts of introduced predators . gould’s petrels are regularly seen in the southern tasman sea during the summer breeding season , as far east as fiordland and south to antarctica . tracking studies have revealed that the two subspecies use different migration routes and have non - breeding ranges in different areas of ocean . the australian birds migrate to the central pacific , south of hawaii , while the new caledonian birds migrate to the eastern pacific , west of ecuador .
a small gadfly petrel with a white face , black bill , prominent dark hood from the crown to the cheeks , a pale grey mantle grading to darker grey on the rump , a rounded tail with a brown wash , and pink legs . the dark brown - grey upperwings have a blackish ‘m’ and the white underparts have a broad black margin on the underwing with a dark diagonal bar running from the leading edge towards the body .
the australian population of gould’ petrel has increased due to conservation actions , but the new caledonian population is declining due to predation by introduced mammals . on cabbage tree island , introduced rabbits have been eradicated , and birdlime trees removed to reduce entanglement . successful translocation of nestlings to nearby boondelbah island was also carried out . on new caledonia , introduced ship rats take eggs and chicks , feral pigs dig chicks from burrows , and feral cats are also a threat . the local government used to fund rat control near a large breeding colony , but this has been discontinued .
gould’s petrel is an annual breeder nesting in low - density colonies in rock crevices , hollows in fallen cabbage tree palms , and cavities in buttresses of trees on islands off new south wales . in new caledonia , they breed in small , loose colonies of 10 - 50 pairs in burrows on steep , forested slopes 350 to 650 m above sea level . birds arrive on cabbage tree island from mid september . the single white egg is laid from early november to mid - december . incubation is shared and takes about 49 days . chick stays in the nest for 13 weeks , growing up to 150 % the weight of an adult bird before losing weight and fledging from late march to early may .

this species is listed as vulnerable because improved knowledge indicates that , within its small population , the largest sub - population numbers fewer than 1 , 000 individuals , with the overall population suspected to be in decline owing to the effects of introduced species .
the non - breeding range is thought to be tropical pacific between 10a°n and 10a°s as far as the galapagos islands .
unpublished data from the fiji iba project ( g . dutson in litt . 2005 ) suggest that the global population numbers 1 , 000 - 10 , 000 individuals , roughly equivalent to 670 - 6 , 700 mature individuals .

after breeding , adults and juveniles migrate and spend the rest of the year at sea . young non - breeding birds remain at sea for several years , returning to breed at 4 - 5 years old . pairs return to the same site each year to breed . banded adults have been recorded living over 40 years .
during the breeding season , gould’s petrels feed mainly on squid , small fish and krill taken in the tasman sea and waters off southern australia . they are occasionally recorded feeding in association with other seabirds , tuna and dolphins . prey is picked up from on or near the sea surface .
