摘要：

We present the first inventory of the avifauna of Menui, a small (about 9,000 ha) island 53 km off the south-east coast of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Formal mist-netting surveys and road-based transects were carried out on Menui fora period of 10 days during August 2017. These data were supplemented with opportunistic observations. A total of 48 species were recorded (of which 39 were documented with images or sound recordings), including five Wallacean endemics and one species classified as Near Threatened. Given that only two species-specific reports (documenting the presence of Sacred Kingfisher Todiramphus sanctus and Moluccan Starling Aplonis mysolensis) have previously been published about the avifauna of Menui, records for all other species represent range extensions (although in most cases their presence on Menui was not unexpected). Records of particular interest include an as-yet-undetermined hanging parrot Loriculus sp., as well as Metallic Starling Aplonis metallica-arguably a first record for the Sulawesi region-and observations of the Near Threatened Lesser Fish Eagle Icthyophaga humilis.
