Abstract : A direct observation survey of birds on a 2 km transect carried out in Kampung Baung Bayam, Kelantan revealed at least 20 species of birds. Yellow-vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus goiavier), Zebra Dove (Geopelia striata), Jungle Myna (Acridotheres fuscus), Common Myna (Acridotheres tristis) and White-throat Kingfisher (Halcyon smyrnensis) were commonly spotted during this study. A check on the conservation status in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species indicates that there is a need to add more data on avifauna in this area for conservation planning and management.
