traps shows a similar pattern, although cheetahs appear less frequently. The camera traps reflect the “mammal-centric” nature of the project, and although to date there are 5,978 captures of images of birds, they are not identified to species. Without doubt, lions are scarce in this region, and certainly absent in the parts of the survey area where signs of people and livestock were most frequent. By contrast, most other carnivore species and elephants are more widely distributed, as is Meyer’s Parrot. The Brown-necked Parrot scarcely makes an appearance in this region.


14 BIRD SCENE


The project is continuing, with the


hope of finding higher concentrations of lions, and another phase of the project is now operational in Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe to monitor the movements in the population of about 500 lions by attaching satellite transmitters to some key pride members. About 58,000 hectares are being monitored to detect traps and other illegal forms of hunting. One expected result will be the identification of priority habitat in Hwange, where Meyer’s and Brown- necked Parrots are both likely to be found.
