10,000 Birds

My first criterion was that I observed it only once during the year 2018. I counted them very roughly, but I do have a lot of experience estimating flocks. They do not build nests, but occupy old nests of Rooks and breed colonially among them. The post The top-5 birds of 2018 appeared first on 10,000 Birds.

It’s a book that counterpoints and combines facts and personal experiences, science-based and eloquent writing styles, textual description and visual information, a history of abundance and an uncertain future.

In breeding plumage islandica godwits develop a deeper red plumage than their limosa cousins. They are of the race islandica , a sub species of the nominate race, limosa.

My extensive birding experience allows me to be very confident that the bird below is a Rosefinch. In the non-breeding season, Common Merganser all look pretty much like females. Not a bad look though – more attractive than the male breeding plumage, I think. It is indeed rufous-ish.

” Landfill often made me wander off into some half-forgotten gulling experience of mine. Publication date 2018. Caspian gulls have a strange quality: they’re more aggressive than herring gulls but also I think more beautiful.” At one moment I even realised where I’d like to be while reading it: deep in rural Norfolk.
