Last month, I birded my favourite local patch, Beljarica – the best eBird hotspot in Belgrade city and the 3rd best in Serbia – four times. August is possibly the best month there, because you gradually observe the rise and fall of numbers of various migrating species, which use it as a stopover site to fatten up ahead of the long hauls further south.

Author: TJ Macke For marketers, obsessing over outbound strategies isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Intense, self-driven passion promotes innovation, creativity, and motivation. However, focusing on the wrong elements can leave a campaign stalled by the side of the road.

Last week I said we were “ cautiously optimistic ” about the Pied Oystercatcher chick at Gantheaume Point surviving. Well, another week has gone by and we really are quite certain that it will fledge now. Arriving at the beach as the tide pushed in yesterday we soon found the Pied Oystercatcher family had left footprints in the wet sand.

My family and I spent last week in Cape Cod, enjoying a last summer getaway in a summer where getaway options have been extremely limited for obvious reasons. It was a great trip made better by a socially distanced visit with some friends we hadn’t seen for a long while in Providence, Rhode Island on the way home. Once we got in the car in Providence, with Daisy driving, I tuned into Facebook to see what was happening in the world.

Mike complains of a dearth of birds in his BBOTW post for the last weekend of August and I am sure that many of us know exactly how he feels. Try to find new ways of getting your kicks from the common stuff. But Fall is almost upon us and a gentle breeze stirs the Summer doldrums. eBird (((who always deserve a mention for allowing us to copy and paste from their site) actually, they don’t so much allow, as not get shirty about it) in fact, has anyone ever taken the trouble to ask them?
