Birds Korea - conserving birds and habitats in South Korea and the Yellow Sea eco-region The Scaly-breasted Munia is generally considered to be a resident species across much of its huge natural range, spanning much of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia as well as southern China (perhaps north to the Yangtze). This scaling, the extent of which is apparently determined largely both by age and subspecies, is regarded as a diagnostic feature of Scaly-breasted Munia, and is not shown by the only two other species of munia occurring naturally in the wild in eastern China: White-rumped Munia Lonchura striata and Black-headed Munia Lonchura malacca. Following these brief views, a further hour was spent searching for the munia flock, and considerable effort was again invested unsuccessfully on the 28th in the search, by which time winds had swung around to Force 8 or 9 north-westerlies. www.birdskorea.org /sbmunia.asp   (824 words)

Birdwatching Trip Report from Singapore Red collared doves were feeding with the local pigeons, watched by Scaly-breasted munias in nearby tall grass. A few hundred yards away the grass habitat of long disused settling ponds were most productive with Black-headed and White-headed munias, Baya and Streaked weavers, Oriental pipit, Barred buttonquail, Pallas's grasshopper and Oriental reed warblers.

CIDRAP >> Asian countries teaming up to thwart avian flu Ten of 1,011 bird samples tested recently were positive, including samples from pigeons, Asian open-billed storks, a cormorant, a red-collar dove, a scaly breasted munia, and a black drongo. Although the WHO has not confirmed any human cases of H5N1 since the 32 deaths and 44 total cases noted by Oct 25, scientists in Japan say poultry workers and a health worker there might have been infected with the virus during a poultry outbreak last February. In Thailand, scientists have found evidence of the virus in wild native birds not previously known to harbor it, according to a Dec 14 story in the Bangkok Post. www.cidrap.umn.edu /cidrap/content/influenza/avianflu/news/dec2104avflu.html   (694 words)

The Spice Finch - Lonchura punctulata Specimens I've seen are smaller and the scaling on the breast is not as pronounced. The Spice finch will hybridize with a number of different mannikins and even some grassfinches, but probably none are as easy to achieve as the cross with the Society finch. Of the over one dozen variations, the Philippine subspecies is probably the easiest to distinguish. www.efinch.com /species/spice.htm   (733 words)
