缅甸勺嘴鹬调查的初步结果----发现83只
一队由勺嘴鹬国际行动计划编辑组(去年我贴上的黑脸琵鹭、黑嘴端凤头燕鸥同期的迁徙物种公约行动计划),以及国际鸟盟的俄罗斯、泰国、缅甸加盟团体组成的考察队,在今年1月对缅甸的越冬勺嘴鹬分布于数量作了一个详细的调查。结果在邻近孟加拉的阿拉坎海岸(Arakan)和仰光以东的马塔班海岸(Martaban)共发现了83只世界极危级的勺嘴鹬。这也证明了一直以来鸟类学界推测的,勺嘴鹬最重要的越冬地应该在缅甸。
缅甸的经济开发速度不快,所以自然环境保存得较好,不过猎捕相当严重。去年12月就有4只勺嘴鹬被猎杀。当地的猎人对野生动物的知识也非常丰富(2001年就是据船家及猎人的资料,我们发现了青头潜鸭最大的一个越冬地)
勺嘴鹬是极端濒危的鸟类,在俄罗斯北极圈的繁殖地愈来愈受气候变化的影响,迁徙途中的韩国、中国海岸滩涂围垦严重,又有猎捕的问题。我们希望在5月的国际候鸟日用它做一个主题,在迁徙各地做一些推广宣传的活动(如英国皇家鸟类学会就设计了一个迁徙游戏),提高广大民众对它以及其他鸻鹬类的关注,希望大家也热心参与。
新闻稿应该在国际湿地日(2月2日)前后发

这些勺嘴鹬是沿着中国海岸线下来以后横越东南亚过来的吗?然后又沿着缅甸西部海岸北上(又或同样直接横越过去)?
是否曾经调查发现过西部的迁徙路线呢?
Simba 2008-2-1 00:03
这个就不清楚了,但估计它们是沿着亚洲大陆的西海岸迁徙(所以韩国中国沿岸都有记录),到了泰国,应该是飞越马来半岛北端到达孟加拉湾的。马来西亚和新加坡观鸟人多但它的纪录不多,似乎可以支持这个说法。

Wintering Spoon-billed Sandpipers found in Myanmar
14-02-2008
Sightings of 84 Spoon-billed Sandpipers Eurynorhynchus pygmeus [1] at two coastal wetland sites in Myanmar have cast new light on the winter distribution of this Endangered species, and confirmed that these wetlands are of international importance for their biodiversity.
The known global population of Spoon-billed Sandpiper has plunged alarmingly in the last few years to only 200-300 pairs.
“The number of breeding pairs in Chukotka, Siberia, fell by 50 percent between 2006 and 2007, and no birds have been seen this year at their traditional wintering sites in Bangladesh [2]”, says Evgeny Syroechkovskiy, Vice President of the Russian Bird Conservation Union (BirdLife in Russia).
The Spoon-billed Sandpiper Recovery Team which found the birds included staff from Biodiversity and Nature Conservation Association (BANCA), BirdLife International’s Partners in Russia and Thailand [3], and members of ArcCona Consulting (Cambridge, UK and Kiel, Germany) and the Japan Wetlands Action Network (JAWAN).
ArcCona’s analysis of satellite images, combined with the experience of previous surveys in India, Bangladesh and Thailand, and with historical records of the species in Myanmar, suggested that potentially suitable habitats existed in the south-western state of Arakan (Rakhine) in the Bay of Bengal, and Martaban (Mottama) Bay near the Thai border.
“The Arakan coast has never been surveyed before, and Martaban Bay only marginally in 2003,” explained Christoph Zöckler of ArcCona Cambridge.
Thirty-five Spoon-billed Sandpipers were counted at one high-tide roost in Arakan, including one juvenile ringed at the breeding ground in Chukotka last summer. The team at Martaban found a total of 48 Spoon-billed Sandpiper, scattered over the huge mudflats of the bay but included a flock of 39 birds [4].
“Our surveys have covered only a small section of the promising Arakan coast,” Christoph Zöckler added. “Although small-scale reclamation of the mudflats for prawn ponds has been observed, the coastal zones are largely healthy ecosystems, which provide both crucial habitat for tens of thousands of arctic waders, and livelihoods for hundreds of thousands of people.” [5]
Htin Hla of BANCA said he was surprised and delighted by the findings. He said that BANCA will work with the international community to provide a more secure future for the species. [6]
“This is an important piece of the jigsaw,” said Simba Chan, Senior Conservation Manager at BirdLife’s Asia Division. “If present trends continue, Spoon-billed Sandpiper faces extinction in the next few years. If we are to save the species, we need to identify and conserve not only its breeding sites, but its migration stopover sites and wintering grounds too.”
Simba Chan added: “The coast of myanmar is still relatively intact, but most of the tidal area along the eastern asia flyway is under very heavy development pressure. This work provides further illustration of the global importance of Myanmar for biodiversity conservation.” [7]

Notes for Editors
[1] Spoon-billed Sandpipers breed during June–July in a small strip of coastal Arctic tundra in Chuchotka, NE Russia. They migrate thousands of kilometres to winter along coasts in South and South-East Asia.
[2] Spoon-billed Sandpiper will be uplisted to Critically Endangered by BirdLife International on the 2008 IUCN Red List.
Experts from ten Asian countries along the Spoon-billed Sandpiper’s flyways recently met in Samut Sakhon, Thailand, to draw up an International Species Action Plan, under the auspices of the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS).
[3] BirdLife International is a global alliance of conservation organisations working in more than 100 countries and territories who, together, are the leading authority on the status of birds, their habitats and the issues and problems affecting them.
BirdLife’s Preventing Extinctions programme aims to identify and carry out conservation actions to save all the world’s most threatened (Critically Endangered) birds. BirdLife is actively seeking Species Champions to fund work for the Spoon-billed Sandpiper
[4] A single individual was also seen at a different site 4 km away.
[5] The Arakan team also recorded Indian Skimmers, several pairs of Sarus Crane and a huge number of wintering Bar-headed Geese. At Martaban, an estimated 50,000 waders are believed to include globally significant numbers of Broad-billed sandpiper, Lesser Sand-plover and Pallas’ Gull.
[6] The surveys would not have been possible without the full support of the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism of Myanmar. The survey team logistics were managed in Myanmar by WATT (Wildbird Adventure Travel and Tours).
The Main sponsor for the survey work is Keidanren Nature Conservation Fund. Additional contributions by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (BirdLife in the UK), Asia Bird Fund of BirdLife International, the Manfred Hermsen Foundation (Bremen) and private Russian sponsors.
[7] The BirdLife International Partnership has been committed for a number of years to surveying and monitoring habitats in Myanmar. In the early 2000s The Wild Bird Society of Japan (BirdLife partner in Japan) assisted the Myanmar authorities to survey and compile a national wetland inventory. That helped Myanmar's ratification of the Ramsar Convention. The Ramsar Designated Moyingyi Wetland Wildlife Sanctuary is an inland wetland located close to the Martaban (Mottama) coast. Those earlier surveys did not include the Arakan (Rahkine) coast

去年崇明东滩春季最少有3 群不同的人在不同时间看到勺嘴鹬,另外还环志了1只,今年没有记录。。。虽然说今年没有牛人过来看,但我看国内其它地方的记录好像也比去年同期少,香港好像只有 john holmes 那一笔 3 只的记录 (我有没有看错?)。。
勺嘴鹬的明天在哪?

去年的 action plan 定下甚么行动?

瑞典自然历史博物馆的人告诉我,他们在80年代的时候搞了一次环北极圈的鸟类考察,从挪威北部出发,一直到了白令海峡。那时候勺嘴鹬多得很,他们打了不少,除了做标本外,肉都烤着吃了。从蛋,胚胎还有幼鸟都收集了一套,至今还泡在博物馆的瓶子里,彪悍得很。
还有80年代在日本录鸟声的瑞典人,拿着麦克直接对这一小群,最近距离只有3米...

行动是有计划的,好像年初在缅甸的调查就是其中之一,今年夏天也会赞助俄罗斯的科学家作一些调查和建议保护的工作。但勺嘴鹬面临最大的问题,可能还是滩涂开发。这个要是不在每个地方都注意的话,很难推行-----此外勺嘴鹬有一个这样特化的嘴巴,可能食性很特化,环境有一点改变对它们的影响也会很大。
有关滩涂的保育问题,我们是希望能在年底韩国的湿地公约大会推动一些决议的,不过,决议需要缔约国提出,所以现在还是活动中。
panda(咦,变了大肥鸭.....:lol )说的东西,可以回敬那些老外一句,你看你们不是一样做这种勾当??(揶揄一下够了,其实大家都需要改进)
最近缅甸风灾的灾区,就是勺嘴鹬其中一个主要的越冬地。我想风灾对它们的影响不大,但想到熟悉的一些情景人物,竟然有两万人以上死亡,很悲哀。缅甸总是给我这种感觉,古老亲和而宁静,但有种哀愁。

对了,菜毛也去参加湿地公约的大会吧。在大会之前我们会办一个鹤类会议,对你的东滩研究可能很有参考价值的。

去年有机会去东滩
和一个被保护区招安的前猎户交谈...
他说很多年前他曾一网抓住30只左右的勺嘴..
choicy 2008-5-8 12:42
我。。。我的工作效率有点低,毕不了业,野外辛辛苦苦花钱花精神时间得来的数据不好好发表就太浪费啦
我也很想去见识一下,有没有说甚么最晚的报名日期?也许到时候进度能让老板满意的话,以去韩国观察黑腹滨鹬编码旗为借口溜过去几天。。。

对了,这种白头宫女说天宝的事,如果查明属实(招安的没有乱说),应该记录在案的,以前的旧纪录太少了。现在好多人只是根据几个出版发表过论文的人了解当时的世界,取样可能是太窄了。

我访问的那个被招安的人不是保护区最有效率和最出名的猎户....他似乎还不太了解勺嘴的稀少和濒危...
我跟他说那种嘴象勺子的小家伙....他很快就说那种鸟他捕过(或许是勺嘴的嘴让他印象深刻)...还有捕获数量等一些细节..象家常一样娓娓谈来。
我就告诉他那鸟现在濒危了..很少了...要他相信若再捕捉到给保护区用于环志..保护区会奖励他的。呵呵..我发的空头支票!(当然也把这事和保护区的朋友说了)...后来的若干天后他们真的捉到1只勺嘴..不知道保护区是否真的有奖金..如果没有那猎户会不会抱怨有人骗他...呵呵。
