Best Bird of the Weekend (Third of October 2020)

10,000 Birds

Any time of year that features skies filled with birds pretty much all day demands attention pretty much all day. If your neck is sore from being on a swivel this weekend, may I suggest swiveling with your hips to get through the rest of the month? I spent a good amount of the weekend on the road and beheld more roadside Belted Kingfishers than I’ve ever seen.

A Good Walk Well Spoiled

10,000 Birds

Golf is a good walk spoiled. — Mark Twain. Once, and only once, a while after I became a bit crazy about birding, my long-suffering wife decided to go along with me and see what it was all about.

Dollarbirds are back in Broome

10,000 Birds

In a year when there’s not a lot that is normal some things happen like clock-work. Nature continues its routine regardless of everything else that is going on in the world. We are lucky in Western Australia that we can move around our own state. There has been no community transmitted coronavirus for many months. We can’t move around the rest of Australia or go overseas, but keeping everyone safe is a priority.

Tenet Wines: The Pundit Syrah (2016)

10,000 Birds

Mammals of South Asia (Lynx Edicions)

10,000 Birds

I was lucky to visit India several times, but as a keen birder I carried along only a bird book, and even upgraded it to a new edition between the trips. Ahead of the first trip, I wasn’t thinking much about mammals, and yet, you cannot miss them, from Nilgais near villages to Indian Flying Foxes in town centres, not to mention those ubiquitous and irresistibly cute Palm Squirrels eating seeds left for parakeets.
