Hi Marnix,
See an excellent trip report from Sumba and Timor - which includes a list of
birds. (Note: the report was is by some members of birding-aus.).
http://www.crosswinds.net/~birdtrips/Timor91.html#list
Also a trip report from Indonesia at:
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/indonesia/sumatrajava/sumjav2000.htm
and Flores and Komodo (Indonesia), November 1999
http://www.surfbirds.com/mb/Trip%20Reports/lsundas.html
Also some good text are:
White, C.M.N. and Bruce, M.D. (1986). The Birds of Wallacea (Sulawesi, The
Moluccas and Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia): an annotated check-list. B.O.U.
Checklist No. 7. Brit. Ornithol. Union: London. Cost around AU$100.
Coates, Bishop and Gardner (1997): A Guide to the Birds of Wallacea:
Sulawesi, The Moluccas and Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia.
Jepson and Ounsted (editors) (1997): Birding Indonesia: a Birdwatcher's
Guide to the World's Largest Archipelago. Periplus Editions in assoc. with
Birdlife International.
- and finally a book entitled Birds of Timor in German - not sure if there is
an English translation?
Hellmayr, C.E. 1914. Die Avifauna von Timor. IN: C.B. Haniel (ed),
Zoologie von Timor, Ergebnisse der unter Leitung von Joh. Wanner im
Jahre 1911 Ausgefuhrten Timor-Expedition, Leif. 1: 1-112.
Hope this helps.
