Abstract:
This survey was carried out at Gunung Sewa, Kampung Giam, Padawan from 16 to 23 August 2008. Gunung Sewa is covered with undisturbed limestone forests, but the vegetation surrounding its foothill had been cleared for paddy cultivation or turned into orchards; intermixed with old secondary forests and open shrub land. Seventy-five species from 27 families of birds were recorded in this study, of which ten species are protected in Sarawak, while 14 are listed as near threatened in lUCN Red List. The Borneo endemics are the Chestnut-crested Yuhina, Yellow-rumped Flowerpecker and Dusky Munia. Some groups of birds adapted well to the altered and fragmented habitat surrounding Gunung Sewa, while other larger species are distinctively absent.
