As the year is closing, I am looking back to realise, despite it being such an awful year, it’s far from the worst I had, it doesn’t even come close (it’s the mileage that’s killing me, I guess). The post Birding Serbia in the 2020 appeared first on 10,000 Birds. I wish you all a happy, healthy and bird-rich new 2021.

Superstitions about the Red-tailed Streamerbird’s supernatural powers continue today and it’s considered bad luck to kill one.

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.
