October 11, 2024 - Sri Lanka Woodshrike (Tephrodornis affinis) Previously grouped with the Common Woodshrike as a single species, these birds in the vanga family are found in open wooded habitats in Sri Lanka. Though the details of their diet are unknown, they probably feed on insects and forage in pairs, small groups, or mixed-species flocks, like their close relatives. Breeding mostly between March and May, pairs likely build shallow cup-shaped nests.
Red-tailed Newtonia Newtonia fanovanae
It is endemic to Madagascar where it is restricted to areas of tall trees in lowland, humid evergreen forest.

the sickle-billed vanga is the largest member of the vanga family; they are endemic to madagascar, where they are found throughout the western portion of the island. they prefer dry forest & scrubland habitats. this species is named for their distinctive sickle-shaped bill; they are the only member of their family with this bill shape. they are highly social, and often are found in groups of 30+ birds; they will intermingle with other vanga species as well as drongos. while they prefer to feed on invertebrates such as cockroaches and arachnids, they will also eat small reptiles. the species has a polyandrous breeding system; a female will mate with two or more males, and all will participate in the rearing of the young.

This October, ASITY Madagascar (BirdLife Partner) released the first ever summary report on the state of the country’s bird populations. The publication reveals that many of the island’s birds are in urgent decline – but also points the way towards solutions founded on past successes.
88 million years ago, Madagascar separated from other landmasses, and has been isolated ever since.Â
This has led to the evolution of extraordinary wildlife found nowhere else on earth, including 115 completely unique bird species.Â
A family of birds called the Vangas, descended from a single colonising species, has in Madagascar diversified into a staggering range of sizes, shapes and feeding styles, allowing them to spread into the island’s varied habitats. Here, there are Vangas that resemble shrikes, warblers, a nuthatch and even woodpeckers – a sight that can be seen nowhere else...
