    Why there is so little advice on NZ birds.

    Hey guys, Just came across this forum and realised that barely any Kiwi birders are actually answering questions. Sorry BirdForum, but us Kiwis don't actually use it much. Instead, all the action is at http://www.birdingnz.net/forum/index.php?sid=c9ab511a1f1c3e502b1262b37a2069a5 - BirdingNZ. So...

    Papua New Guinea: Unidentified goshawk- Grey-headed? (East Sepik)

    I have been hearing this one in a tree near where we are staying for some time. I'm not sure what it is, I'm thinking it is a grey-headed goshawk but I'm not 100 percent sure. I think it has a nest there, I have seen a goshawk-like shape with sticks etc. in its beak fly up into the tree. I heard...

    Papua New Guinea: Rainbow Lorikeet or Dusky Lory?

    These birds seen multiple times in flocks near Sissano Lagoon, making screeching sounds and flying high over the forest. Which one makes rapid-fire calls, and which leaves slower gaps between them? Of course, it might also be neither, but these are the two I think they might be. Sorry about the...

    Papua New Guinea: Singing starling with yellowish eye?

    I was photographing a flock of regular Singing Starlings near Wewak in the East Sepik province, and after examining the photos found that several of the immature ones had a pale-yellow eye. The flock was almost entirely immature ones, and I'm not sure if it was just a trick of the light or...

    Rainforest birds near Angoram, Papua New Guinea

    I saw these two birds on the 13th in the morning in the rainforest in Papua New Guinea, by a village 30 minutes by boat north of Angoram town. First one maybe Wompoo Fruit Dove, no idea about the other one, but it looks pretty distinctive so maybe I'm just blind... :). Thanks, especially to...

    White shouldered Fairywren? Papua New Guinea

    I saw this bird on an old grassy airstrip near Wewak in East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea. It was with a small flock of white-shouldered fairywrens, and I thought it was a female, but after further research I found that the Sepik females were black, not grey. Any ideas?

    Large black bird, possibly a crow,East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea

    This bird seen once in Wewak, Papua New Guinea. It might just be a Torresian Crow, as we get those quite a lot, but the wings look quite rounded and the tail seems too long... Seen on the 26th of May, 2016 at 6:30 am. Thanks!

    Honeyeater? in Papua New Guinea, East Sepik province

    I've seen this bird around quite a lot where I am, does anyone know what it is? I'm thinking maybe a Tawny-breasted or Silver-eared Honeyeater. It has a nice song, some quite liquidy notes often. Saw on the 3rd of May, 2016.
