Alas, we did not hear our Roadrunners vocalize, although I have heard sing on one other visit to La Escalera. They seem to derive their common name more from the habits of their better-known relative, than from their own habits. Number 4 proves my point. Lesser Roadrunners also do not know when to stop with the eyeliner.

Further down the road, we reach a derelict building with a large veranda hidden among the trees – an abandoned hunting lodge (if I were in a situation to invest, I would choose to upgrade this into a luxury wildlife lodge). One White-eyed Buzzard has turned its back to us. It is too early to show.

But as point and shoots have changed and don’t quite work as well with scopes, some people abandoned the idea or others (like myself) embraced it and paid for more expensive single lens reflex cameras for better photos. Alas, I haven’t found a way to make it work.

Great White Pelicans by Kostas Papadopoulos We devoted the afternoon to the small, abandoned and revitalised quarry behind the hamlet of Chimarros. Yet, that was the only time we used insect repellent on the entire trip.

But alas, my garden Wilsons have not been seen here on the 4th of April. I have still seen each of these species out in the forest between two days and three weeks after they abandoned my yard. But my “Wilsons” really were Wilsons: Wilson’s Warblers , to be exact. That is a garden first!

Squacco Heron – the same as previous, from the left Danube bank levees, also the Veliko Blato Lake (Mika Alas fish farm in the suburb of Krnjaca, #3). Eurasian Scops Owl is a bird of open forests and scattered trees, parks, orchards, abandoned houses, etc. Little Bittern is a reed-bed skulker and much harder to observe.

They are the Desert Wheatears and Siberian Thrushes that abandon all reason and fly to Britain (maybe they heard about the UK Birdfair ?). No matter where in the world we bird, it seems like the ones we twitch are the birds that aren’t supposed to be there.
