Birds on the Kita-Daito (North Borodino) Island in Winter

Abstract

I observed land-birds on the Kita-Daito Island (25°57'N, 131°18'E) between 29th-31st January 1984. Fifteen species (13 families) were recorded, including new records of Phasianus colchicus, Vanellus vanellus, Motacilla alba, Pericrocotus divaricatus, Turdus pallidus and T. naumanni. I assume that P. colchicus were artificially introduced.
