<strong>Mgambo</strong> <strong>Forest</strong> <strong>Reserve</strong><br />
5.4.2 Birds<br />
A total of 52 species from 30 families were recorded. As no systematic <strong>survey</strong> of bird fauna was<br />
undertaken, the findings do not represent a complete inventory (Table 25). An ‘identification<br />
confidence’ column is presented in Table 25 to clarify the reliability of each sighting.<br />
Identification is ranked as follows: Certain, Near Certain, Probable and Possible.<br />
Where possible Mlingwa et al. (2000) and Stuart (1989) was used to determine ecological type<br />
and Stattersfield et al. (1998) used to define endemic status. When this was not possible,<br />
ecological type, endemic status and threat status were compiled using the National Biodiversity<br />
Database (UDSM, 1997), IUCN (Hamilton, 2000), CITES (2001) and Zimmerman et al. (1996).<br />
