Why tediously write blog posts when ChatGPT can do it for me? So, I asked ChatGPT: “Please write a 500-word blog post about birding in Shanghai in the style of Kai Pflug for the website 10,000 birds” This is the result: Greetings, fellow birding enthusiasts!

By both Serbian legislation and the Bern Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats, Pygmy Cormorant is a strictly protected species. Since the roosts of Pygmy Cormorants should receive official protection, how bright is the future? And the biggest Pygmy Cormorant roost in the World is hanging in a limbo.

How more blatantly anti-environment do Republicans need to be before birders act to protect themselves and their interests? Go read the whole blog post. In this instance, I believe that birds serve well as surrogates for the natural world, and birders as stand-ins for conservationists. It is well worth the read.

Perhaps the middle section of blog posts should be relatively boring in order to get rid of the more casual readers. For some reason, the Mandarin Chinese name of the Scarlet Minivet translates as “Red Mountain Pepper Bird” I do hope a Chinese reader of this blog can explain the origin or meaning of this name.

Since 1776 it has been protected land and the biodiversity there speaks volumes to what nearly 250 years of conservation can do. But I think that UNESCO explains things better than I can : The Tobago Main Ridge Forest Reserve is on record as the oldest legally protected forest reserve geared specifically towards a conservation purpose.

The nom de blog Redgannet was adopted to add an air of mystery and to make himself more attractive to women. Speculations back then on the blog post were that they tell the bird if its feathers at the back of its head are in order or not.
