Site description (2003 baseline):
Site location and context
Topography of this island is hilly with the highest altitude of 210 m asl.
Streak-breasted Honeyeater
Meliphaga reticulata is common in this area. Timor Green Pigeon
Treron psittacea recorded once (White & Bruce 1986), but unrecorded by Holmes observation (Holmes 1993). Because of very limited records for Timor Green Pigeon
Treron psitacea, this island need special attention, although the site still uncertain. Follow-up survey is really needed. Observation by Derek Holmes could not recorded Timor Blue Flycatcher
Cyornis hyacinthinus, that reported present on Semau Island (Stattersfield
et.al. 1998).
A small area of lowland forest and savanna (Holmes 1993)
