10,000 Birds

OCTOBER 27, 2016

It’s the boar hunting season. We are approaching a large mudbar with some more Dalmatian Pelicans… and a flock of geese… dark, round-headed and short-billed, elongated white blaze on their faces – threatened and declining Lesser White-fronted Geese ! We started from the village at, perhaps 50 m a.s.l.

Let’s say you’re at a fast food restaurant and you have a few french fries left over and a gull is eagerly staring at you and the fries. And if you have a small kid and are in the vicinity of some ducks and geese? Do you toss the bird your leftovers? Do you feed the birds then?

En route to our next stop we slowed down next to a park and spotted the now countable Egyptian Geese. Then he pointed out a Least Tern that came in to hunt for fish on the pond as if I would be assuaged with another bird that has “Least” in its name! And could we just do a quick drive through at a fast food joint?
