When times are hard getting out amongst the natural world and birding can come as a great relief. If you’re not just starting out and have already spent the hard-earned cash on your optics then birding can almost be cost-free. Finally, for some birders, birds just are not enough.

While not on the scale of bird migration, it is routinely and somewhat lazily described as the biggest annual migration of humans in the world. Like a film star wearing a whig and big sunglasses in a public place, this bird at first glance looks fairly nondescript. Once the bird takes up a different position, it gets more interesting.

But here is the truly tragic part: I was not birding during those years! These goods, purchased with Mexican silver, would then be transported overland through Mexico City, and shipped from Veracruz to Spain. These turkey-sized birds, named for their raucous calls, can muster an impressive level of volume.

To let the birds decide, instead. I told myself that if the bird was still there for me to see on January 1 when I got back, I would go for it. Which would not just involve seeing as many birds as possible, but also thinking and writing about the birds I see and what they’re telling me about this city as an environment.

Public transport from that part of town went nowhere near anywhere I wanted to be, so I slept in and took a mid-morning stroll around the neighbourhood. The hotel was on Midway Road in Dallas, with no eBird hotspots easily reachable on foot or by public transport, so I wandered south towards the 635.

The Inaccessible Island Rail is perhaps the coolest bird that neither I nor anyone I will ever meet will ever see. The bird will therefore now be known as. It is a small bird of the rail species, I think, wingless, unable to fly, but can run with great speed, shelters in the tussock, and lives in a burrow. Atlantisia Rogersi.

Last year, I compiled a subjective list of the Top 25 National Wildlife Refuges for Birding. In many ways, Hagerman NWR is similar to other well-known birding refuges. In particular, most birding occurs within view of an oil well. In some instances, the birding is incongruously right next to oil rigs or pads.

Birders derive “value” from birding. But does the value of a particular trip come from the number of birds seen, viewing a particular species, seeing an endangered species, catching a glimpse of a rarity, adding a lifer, or something else? How much do birders value a birding experience? This includes bird-watching experiences.

One of the best features about Singapore is the fact that wherever you go there are birds. Admittedly we did not go into the downtown area once during our three week stay, but wherever there are trees there are birds and Singapore is a green city. Another really good feature of Singapore is the excellent public transport system.

We usually keep a list of the birds that we see along the way to break the boredom! It does not completely solve the problem, because animals transport the burrs, but it will hopefully slow the spread. Although you now have to stay on the new stone chip parking area it has been greatly beneficial to the bird-life.

Population density is far lower than in most parts of the city, and public transportation is limited – probably bad news for the people living on the island, but good news for the birds.
