Shrikes were practicing their own form of butchery – that is, their particular practice of impaling their kills from thorns and barbed wire for later eating – long before we began domesticating and slaughtering livestock on our own. Castellare di Castellina: Chianti Classico (2019). Good birding and happy drinking!

The second trip was in the rain and it killed my camera but fortunately not the memory card as the image above shows. Here’s hoping that 2020 is even close to as good a birding year as 2019 has been. The post My Ten Best Birds of 2019 appeared first on 10,000 Birds. Losing the camera was worth it. Happy New Year!

The only wildcat I found was illegally killed by hunters during closed season. Photographed within Beljarica: five White-tailed Eagles by Snezana Panjkovic. I barely started when some sulphur (a.k.a. clouded yellow) butterfly and one Brambling greeted me. Covering it in concrete would make the floodwave higher, faster and stronger.

This northern fox really does look red, unlike the pale, sandy-coloured animals I saw in Georgia in 2019 ( below ). They will also kill any water birds they can capture, from Kingfishers to Mallard. The Finnish fox shown here was photographed late on an October afternoon, north of the Arctic Circle.

Eastern red bats, for only one example, may actually be attracted to wind turbines; and unlike birds, they are often killed by “barotrauma” – their inner organs explode from the drop in air pressure as the blade sweeps past.).

I put it in a small box for several hours, where it appeared to recover, but studies have shown that internal injuries from a strike usually kill the bird.

Falconry Month at Birds and Booze: I’ve decided to dedicate this month of March 2019 to wines and beers related to the history of falconry – or hawking – for no other reason than that I’ve recently acquired several bottles adorned with mostly medieval European iconography relating to this “sport of kings”.
