The chick is just to the right of the adult bird in the photo below in the shade. Over the next few days we expect the Pied Oystercatcher family to make the trek two kilometres down the beach to Gantheaume Point. Last year they were successful at raising one chick, so we just have to hope they are this year too.

As Watson has put it in the Chapter 1, “while the focus of this book is on families of African birds, there are a few individual species that have somehow come to epitomise Africa, even though they have relatives elsewhere, and commentaries on these appear too. He has authored several other books and many articles, largely on natural history.

According to his writings, the Cuban Macaw’s behavior was typical of the genus, living in pairs or family parties that kept in contact with loud, raucous calls. It is correct, of course, to think of extinction this way during the Holocene Extinction, which we are living through right now. What a horror! What a disaster!

Somewhere below that mysterious eagle, at the far shore of the lake, lies one Bengal Tiger … and further to the right – two more! The closer one raises her head, than lies back. Telia yawns, raises and sprays her urine on a dead tree stump, marking her territory. He has earned his tip. These are my first wild tigers ever!

MEXICO CITY – Animal rights activists staged a protest against the sale of pets in Mexico City, urging residents to adopt dogs and other animals instead of buying them. Eight of every 10 dogs sold in Mexico end up in the streets, with most of them having been family pets at some point, official figures show. Late on this story.
