Avifauna recorded using Mist netting method during 2003 Spotted Ground-thrush surveys in Kenyan Coastal Forests

The biological importance and uniqueness of East African coastal forests is widely recognised; they form an Endemic Bird Area. Important remnants of this fragmented habitat is on the southern Kenyan coast, but their avifauna has been little studied. In between June and July 2003, a survey of endangered spotted ground thrush was undertaken with an overall objective of examining its conservation status on its non-breeding grounds in the Kenya Coastal Forest.
Other avifauna of the ten Coastal Forests were assessed including the threats facing them using mist-netting, time species counts and point counts.
This dataset contains 518 entries of birds ringed using the mist netting method. Birds in the IUCN red list were also ringed in this study including the near threatened East Coast Akalat (Sheppardia gunning), plain-backed sunbird (Anthreptes reichenowi) and Spotted Ground-thrush (Geokichla guttata).
The data was formatted according to the Darwin Core Standards by A Rocha Kenya before publishing through the IPT at the National Museums of Kenya, Nairobi.

东非沿海森林的生物重要性及其独特性业已得到广泛认可；它们构成了一个特有鸟类区域。这一破碎生境的重要遗迹位于肯尼亚南部海岸，但其鸟类群落却鲜有研究。在2003年6月至7月间，对濒危的斑点地鸫进行了调查，总体目标是在其肯尼亚沿海森林的非繁殖地考察其保护状况。对十个沿海森林的其他鸟类群落进行了评估，包括使用迷网、物种时间计数和点计数方法评估它们所面临的威胁。本数据集包含518条使用迷网方法环志的鸟类记录。在本研究中，国际自然保护联盟红色名录中的鸟类也被环志，包括近危的东海岸鹤鸫（Sheppardia gunning）、平背太阳鸟（Anthreptes reichenowi）和斑点地鸫（Geokichla guttata）。数据根据达尔文核心标准由肯尼亚A Rocha进行格式化，并在内罗毕的国家博物馆通过国际植物标本馆传输平台（IPT）进行发布。
