River Lapwing, Nam Theun catchment, mid 1996. Sandbarnesting waders such as this are under widespread decline in Lao PDR. C. A. Hills and V. Morris. White-winged Duck, Dong Khanthung PNBCA, July 1998. One of three ducklings of this Globally Threatened species that were captured for pets. B. L. Stuart / WCS. Spot-billed Pelican, Pakxe, Champasak Province, January 1997. This Globally Threatened species is now apparently only an irregular visitor to Lao PDR. This one was found ailing near Dong Khanthung NBCA in 1996 and brought into captivity. W. G. Robichaud / WCS. Lesser Adjutant, Pakxe, Champasak Province, November 1992. This Globally Threatened species has declined massively in Lao PDR. These two pets in a fish restaurant were reportedly taken from the nest. T. D. Evans. Birds 113
Wildlife of Lao PDR: 1999 Status Report • Gallinago nemoricola Wood Snipe. Conservation Significance: Globally Threatened - Vulnerable; Little Known in Lao PDR. Documented Range and Habitat: Winter visitor; north (historically B21 ); centre B9 . Recent records from wide forest rivers at 520 m. Status Information: Records prior to 1997 were reviewed by Thewlis et al. (1998). Historical records come only from Xiangkhouang Province (David- Beaulieu 1944), recent observations only from the Nakai Plateau (four singles in 1995). Assessing this species’s status is difficult, as it is a skulking bird, but it is sufficiently distinctive from other snipes to suggest that it would be only rarely overlooked. The listing in Table 7 of Srikosamatara et al. (1992) was an editorial error for Wood Sandpiper. Gallinago stenura Pintail Snipe. Winter visitor; north B2 , centre B9 , south B2 . Marshy areas, paddy-fields; occasionally along forest rivers. The species’s similarity to Swinhoe’s Snipe make it difficult to determine status, but previous specimen records indicate that most or all such birds observed recently are likely to be Pintail Snipe. [Gallinago megala Swinhoe’s Snipe]. Non-breeding visitor, perhaps vagrant; south (provisionally B11 ). Sole Lao record was from a sedge-bed. First recorded, albeit provisionally, for Lao PDR on 29 March 1997: two birds in Dong Khanthung PNBCA (JAW in Round 1998). Gallinago gallinago Common Snipe. Winter visitor; north, centre, south B2 . Marshes, paddy-fields, marshy stream and river banks. Numenius arquata Eurasian Curlew. Non-breeding visitor; north (historically; see below). Wetlands. There are no published primary records, but two were seen by the Mekong 10 km west of Vientiane on 29 December 1962 by W. W. Thomas (in litt. to C. M. Poole 1999). Tringa erythropus Spotted Redshank. Winter visitor; north B9 , centre B10 , south B2 . Wide rivers, marshes, margins of pools, adjacent cultivation. Records prior to 1994 were detailed in Thewlis et al. (1996). Tringa totanus Common Redshank. Winter visitor; north (Perennou and Mundkur 1991), centre B9 . Habitat use in Lao PDR similar to congeners. Records prior to 1996 were reviewed in Duckworth et al. (1998a). Delacour and Jabouille (1940) listed the species for south Lao PDR but we have traced no individual records. Tringa stagnatilis Marsh Sandpiper. Winter visitor; north B10 , centre B9 . Marshy margins of pools, sand-bars in wide slowflowing rivers. Delacour and Jabouille (1940) implied that the species occurred in south Lao PDR, but we have traced no individual records. 114 Tringa nebularia Common Greenshank. Winter visitor; north B2 , centre B10 , south B2 . Marshes, pools, wide slowflowing rivers. Tringa ochropus Green Sandpiper. Winter visitor; north B1 , centre, south B2 . Shady pools, slow forest rivers, occasionally around other surface water. Tringa glareola Wood Sandpiper. Winter visitor; north B2 , centre B10 , south B2 . Marshes, short flooded vegetation, including cultivated areas; sand-bars in wide slow-flowing rivers. Xenus cinereus (= Tringa cinerea, ^Sm) Terek Sandpiper. Vagrant; north (historically B21 ). Sole Lao record was in rice paddies at 1150 m near Xiangkhouang (David-Beaulieu 1944). Actitis hypoleucos (= Tringa hypoleucos, ^Sm) Common Sandpiper. Winter visitor; north, centre, south B2 . Edge of all water-bodies. Calidris alba (= Crocethia alba, ^K) Sanderling. Presumed passage migrant; south B15 . Mekong sand-bars. First recorded in 1996 (Evans et al. in prep. a). Calidris ruficollis Red-necked Stint (= Rufous-necked Stint, ^K, ^Sm, ^T). Presumed passage migrant; north (provisionally B9 ), centre B16 , south B15 . Mekong sand-bars. After a provisional record in Vientiane on 21 November 1994 (RJTim), the first confirmed record for Lao PDR was in southern Champasak Province in May 1996 (Evans et al. in prep. a). Calidris temminckii Temminck’s Stint. Winter visitor; north B2 , centre B16 ; south B15 . Margins of standing and slowflowing water in and beside large rivers with much exposed sediment; likely also to use marshland but no records as yet from such habitat. Calidris subminuta Long-toed Stint. Presumed passage migrant; north B9 , south B15 . Mekong sand-bars. First recorded for Lao PDR in 1995 (Duckworth et al. 1998a). Calidris alpina Dunlin. Non-breeding visitor; north B9 , south B15 . The only Lao records were on Mekong sand-bars, in 1995, 1996 and 1998 (Duckworth et al. 1998a, Evans et al. in prep. a; J. N. Dymond per C. R. Robson in litt. 1999, TDE). Calidris ferruginea Curlew Sandpiper. Presumed passage migrant; south B15 . Mekong sand-bars. First recorded for Lao PDR in 1996 (Evans et al. in prep. a). Philomachus pugnax Ruff. Presumed passage migrant; south B15 . Mekong sand-bars. First recorded for Lao PDR in 1996 (Evans et al. in prep. a).
