Up on the saddle (or plateau) between Macadade and the Ilicmanu, Atauro Island, there is a village Tuanlori, which is linked to Atecru via clan and cultural connection. It is a fantastic location for birding on Atauro Island. Ebird checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S335024052

The Laclo River Estaury, Laclo, Manaututo, a bit quiet this time of year, except for a flock of 27 Eurasian Whimbrels foraging. Cant wait for the East Asia Flyway Season to start in earnest in a few months.

Comoro River Estuary this time of year is full of birdsong in the mornings: Cisticolas (Zitting and Golden Headed), Australian Reed Warblers, Sooty Headed Bulbuls, Pied Bushchats, Spotted and Barred Doves and Scaly Breasted Munias. Quite a few dozen Common sandpipers and Red-capped Plovers. Out at sea Red-necked Phalaropes (about 21 plus) and Great-crested Terns.

Wet season is limiting for birding for obvious reasons. However, the reappearance of less common but pretty Pale-headed Munias in Dili gardens, and other residential areas is pretty nice for birders. These ones snapped at Bebonuk, Dili, Timor-Leste this week.

Despite the wet season conditions, Laclo River Estuary, in Manatuto Municipality, township of Obrato/Laclo provides a great opportunity for birding during the Christmas and New Year holiday period. A mere 1.5 hours maximum drive east from Dili, stopping for grilled fish along the way it’s a great getaway.

A small flock of about a dozen migratory Far Eastern Curlews (Numenius madagascariensis) still resting and replenishing at Tibar Mangroves, Tibar Port area, Liquica, Timor-Leste yesterday (28.11.2025).

Very much worth a visit this time of year.
