There is one other nature reserve further south, the Obedska bara wetland, managed by the state forestry company. When such a company runs a nature reserve, it is a bit like having a fox to watch over your chickens. After that experience, I stopped complaining about their hides, realising that they are as good as they ever will be.

After writing this last sentence, I looked up the species in the HBW and found the sentence “Song poorly documented” in the appropriate section, while with regard to calls, the description is that “call is a two-note raspy nasal ‘ryeeh-reh’”. These birds have too much taste.

In the Old World, Horned (Slavonian) Grebe breeds in a wide belt stretching from Scandinavia to Kamchatka and it spends winters along sea coasts, from Japan to China and from Norway to France, plus the Adriatic and the Black Sea (west and east of the Balkans, respectively). As a consequence, this species is only a rare vagrant in Serbia.

So, for example, Essay #15, “Individual Variation,” uses Herring Gulls to introduce the concept that one species, even one species at a specific age, can vary widely in appearance. The Checklist is more than a taxonomic listing of species and chapter number and title; it also contains useful notes on each bird family.

Many backyard birding books recommend offering fresh fruit and a few bird feeding companies have even attempted to build feeders to offer fruit to birds but it’s not as popular as offering seed and suet. Nyjer (aka Thistle) for goldfinches was introduced from Nigeria–someone had to experiment with that.

Rather than trying to learn them North American birders are well-advised to do all of your birding in areas where old world warblers might be encountered in the company of old world birders. Great Reed Warblers breed across huge chunks of Europe and Asia and winter across large swaths of southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

Birding a different continent allowed me to put all my experiences and knowledge into perspective and to discover how much more fun birding could be. One thing is, to allow for species maps to show only data with chosen breeding code so I could depict the rookeries I was searching for this spring.

All the so-called grey geese – Greylag, Bean, White-front, Lesser White-front, Swan – look very much alike, and it takes experience to identify them by their calls and their shape and size.

I’m sure many of you have had similar experiences.

Understanding a pointed finger may seem easy, but consider this: while humans and canines can do it naturally, no other known species in the animal kingdom can.

My best bird of the year is based on the sighting rather than the species. Hornbills are spectacular under any circumstances, but when a pair lands in a bush beside you at eye-level and begin mutual preening , it makes for a spectacular experience. Only trouble is, which of the seven species I saw this year do I pick?

Basically, this species is so dimwitted, it doesn’t know how to survive. Because, Pink Pigeons are not capable of doing the tasks required to create and bring up children of the species.
