Peregrine don’t take many, being more of a bird prey specialist, but apart from that they are the daily feature on the menu of foxes, ermine, wolves, Rough-legged Hawks , Gyrfalcon and especially Snow Owls. Arctic Foxes will have as many as 16 kits on good lemming years. So this was a good summer for lemmings, a very good year.

In the mid 1700s, fur-traders began introducing foxes up and down the Aleutian chain, in order to generate some more raw material work with. The foxes wreaked havoc on nesting birds, and island by island the geese disappeared, until it seemed that they were gone for good.

We have to understand, though, that this was a natural predator and not one of our introduced feral cats or foxes. Last year they were successful at raising one chick, so we just have to hope they are this year too. It was not a good result at all and not what we had hoped to find.

This Cape Francolin was raising a family less than a hundred metres from the main gate. The gardens also have some mammals, although for the most part you’ll need to show up very early if you want to have any hope of seeing Cape Fox , Caracal and Cape Grysbok. This Egyptian Goose has perfected his smoldering come hither look.

But I am still foxed in finding a name for a group of Skylarks which was the reason for looking in the first place. Looking over some of the lists raises a few questions. Many of them have been derived from contemporary literature or from the ‘game of venery’ and many have been absorbed into popular modern culture.

Unlike other birds that drink one sip at the time and raise their heads to swallow, pigeons and sandgrouses drink like asses, lowering their beaks into the water and taking as much as they like. Next comes the White-footed desert fox, Vulpes v. ceylonensis.
