“…Our records indicate that it regularly breeds at the study site. Some of the areas chosen for nesting by the species are subject to intense anthropic activity, indicating an adaptability to these areas (Ingels et al 1999). A recent study found that the species also breeds in another forest fragment 30 km from Rio Branco (Lima et al 2019), indicating reasonable adaptation to the fragmented landscape of eastern Acre.…”

British Ornithologists' Club meetings in 2020 As previously announced, owing to the Covid-19 pandemic the 2020 meetings programme has had to be substantially adjusted. The current situation is that Prof. Diamond's talk, in conjunction with the Linnean Society has been deferred, subject to his availability, until a date in 2021. We are pleased that the 21 September meeting will proceed via Zoom video-conferencing. Dr Beth Okamura will give a presentation on How birds shape freshwater biodiversity, and will consider how our understanding of dispersal of freshwater invertebrates has improved since Darwin's day. Dr Okamura, who is a Merit Researcher at the Natural History Museum, London, and Professor in Aquatic Biology at Univ. of Reading, will focus on evidence for waterbird-mediated dispersal of freshwater animals that are poorly known but have substantial ecological and practical impacts. The talk scheduled for 16 November, planned in conjunction with the Linnean Society and at their premises, is intended to be by Prof. Jon Fjeldså, Univ. of Copenhagen, on evolution of passerine birds. This talk had been designed to celebrate the 1,000th evening meeting of the BOC but, should it go ahead, will now be slightly ahead of the anniversary given the forced cancellation of previous 2020 meetings! At present, we remain very hopeful that the event will occur on schedule via Zoom, but please keep checking the BOC and Linnean Society websites for updates. Friends of the BOC The BOC has from 2017 become an online organisation without a paying membership, but instead one that aspires to a supportive network of Friends who share its vision of ornithology-see: http://boc-online.org/. Anyone wishing to become a Friend of the BOC and support its development should pay UK£25.

“…described for this species since it is in the middle of a pasture of tall tropical grasses with little to no cover by shrubs or trees [16]. Earlier observations noted that N. nigrescens occupy and reproduce in man-made habitats such as roadsides, gravel pits and laterite soils, but no mention of breeding in pastures has been made, although hunting and foraging in agricultural fields is a regular habit of this species [17].…”

“…This specimen was prepared as a study skin and has been deposited in MCNA (under the registration number MCNA 1796). Since it is known that H. longirostris has the ability to colonize large and mediumsized cities, such as Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre and Santo Amaro (Sick, 1959(Sick, , 1963(Sick, , 1997Ingels et al, 1999), it is very possible that this species is colonizing urban areas of Belo Horizonte. In this city, it has also been recorded in recent years in regions where it had not been detected until the last 20 years, such as the districts of Anchieta, Funcionários, Gutierrez, Luxemburgo, Mangabeiras, Santa Lúcia, Santo Antônio and Serra (L.G.M., M.F.V., C.E.R.T.B.…”
