Landbirds were counted on 25 islands on Satawan Atoll between December 2002 and August 2004. The number of birds seen and heard calling were recorded during timed walks along pre-existing trails or by roughly following a compass bearing through the centre of the less frequently visited islands, usually along the long axis of the island, but occasionally at right angles to it. A single three-minute point count was applied on the smallest islands where complete coverage of the island was possible from one site. Each transect line or observation point was surveyed only once. An index of relative abundance for each species was calculated as the number of individuals encountered per hour. Shorebirds and seabirds were counted during walks along the beaches at or near low tide. On islands other than Satawan Atoll, birds were recorded irregularly and ancillary to reptile and fruit bat surveys; no transect or point counts were made, and the species lists, at least of migrants, are incomplete for these islands. Terms of status and abundance are: common (more than 15 sightings per day), fairly common (approximately 5-15 sightings on most days), uncommon (usually fewer than five sightings per day and unrecorded on some days), scarce (observed occasionally and known only from few records, but not unexpected), resident (present year-round and breeding confirmed or very probable), migrant (present temporarily or sometimes throughout the year, breeding does not occur or is very.
