For long it was assumed that the saplings cannot survive being under water half a year, from spring to August, but recently another theory was tested.

You are certain to see Greater One-horned Rhinoceros , Water Buffalo and Hog Deer , and with a bit of luck Smooth-coated Otters. Travel onto the world famous Kaziranga National Park and you will have very good chances of more endangered species such as Pallas’s Fish Eagle , vultures, Swamp Francolin , and both species of Adjutant Storks.

Looking left I saw a big, male buffalo behind the bush. I described what I had done, and she happily started ticking every possible test for every possible tropical disease on her little lab sheet – from bubonic plague to yaws. It’s such a great place for birds. Just a few meters away from me.

Back to Riverhead we went, where we failed to find anything other than the Greater White-fronted Goose Derek had found earlier, though we did spend quite a bit of time at the buffalo farm at the corner of Reeves and Roanoke hoping to pick a good blackbird out of the huge flock there.
