The indoor workshop started with a Covid self-testing (where everyone was negative), followed by lectures on the Swarovski company, its ethos and products. The next day we had an outdoor workshop and a chance to test the toys. You know that classical definition of what separates men from boys? impressive for Central Europe.

This unusual bird is definitely one of my favourite species in Europe, so I was very happy to connect with it (and to hear its call for the first time). While experiments have shown that some birds (like crows and parrots) can count, this rule unsurprisingly did not hold when subjected to testing.

I strained to see them, could only see an occasional booby escape our bow, watch some of the hundreds of Wedge-tailed and Pink-footed Shearwaters zip by and hold on as our boat tested its speed. As we approached and drew nearly alongside the small seabirds, we also tested the limits of our optics, our balance, and our focus.

Stemming from Richardson’s decades-long programme of population-mapping on the island, maps in BOC show status (resident, breeding, wintering or passage visitor) but also the region where the species appear and, in case of waterbirds, individual wetlands marked all over the Cyprus map.

This does not make them Myrtle Warblers, nor does it make them hybrids (except by a biologically unhelpful, rigidly typological definition). So Toews et al. As for separating Audubon’s and Black-fronted warblers, Toews et al. wing length; Brelsford et al.

This book is essentially about those birds that breed on the continent south of the Sahara, a topic few birders are familiar with. Most definitely so. And apart from local people, primate researchers sometimes spot it, but it is a species seen by fewer than ten living birders.

alba : yellow in non-breeding season (usually less bright than egretta ), entirely black in breeding season. Absolute field marks between two similar species describe a difference that can be judged definitely by looking at a single bird. egretta is slightly smaller than alba , although there is overlap in measurements.
