Abstract
The landscape of Tasik Kenyir and Setiu are consists of lowland dipterocarp forests which bear to sustain various species of birds. A study was conducted to determine the bird assemblages in two lowland dipterocarp forests at Tasik Kenyir and Setiu from July to October 2016 by using two different methods; mist-netting and point count methods. A total of 82 species 28 families and 343 individuals were recorded at both sites. Tasik Kenyir showed a higher number of species with 53 species compared to Setiu with account of only 48 species. However Setiu recorded a higher number of individuals (184 individuals) compared to Tasik Kenyir (159 individuals) with the same number of families (23 families). The most commonly found species at Tasik Kenyir is Cream Vented Bulbul Pycnonotus simplex and Barn Swallow Hirundo rustica at Setiu with 15 and 28 individuals respectively. Point count method recorded a total of 57 species (51) while mist-netting recorded 40 species (36) and both methods shared 14 species (13). As a conclusion knowledge on the current population of birds and their habitat status may provide beneficial information towards effective conservation management in the studied areas.
