Muara Angke Pond Muara Angke
Muara Angke is one of the only five spots on Java where the endemic Javan Coucal can be seen. Also there is a fair chance to see the threatened Milky Stork. Different species of egret and heron (incl. Black Bittern) are present, and the mangrove trees contain a.o. Golden-bellied Gerogyne. When returning to the main road, walk another 200 meter to the right (west), and look on the mudflats at the southside of the road for (numerous) Javan Plovers. We flushed a Barred Button-Quail there. In the river Muara there was a 1.5 meter long Water Monitor (Varanus salvator).

the beach of Pulau Rambut Pulau Rambut

Pulau Rambut, in the Pulau Seribu (Thousand Islands) chain of islands off North Jakarta, is just for the birds.

Based on a 1999 forestry minister's degree, the island, which is only one and a half hours from the Ancol Marina by speedboat, is protected by law as a wildlife sanctuary.

Rambut island's unique ecosystem is an ideal habitat for various bird species. Its coastal forest abounds with pandan (Pandanus tectorius) and undergrowth. In its tidal areas one can find sea spades (Thespesia populnea) and sea casuarina (Casuarina equisetifolia). Acacia and fast-growing lamtoro, which is not native to the area, is also found here.

Some 40,000 birds of 49 species nest on the 45-hectare tract of land. Eighteen of the species belong to the category of rare birds protected by law.

About 40 percent of the resident birds are cormorants; egrets and herons constitute 24 percent, whereas heron-like birds and ibis constitute another 25 percent.
