Barreling into your feeder with reckless abandon and cleaning you right out. When hunters would fire into a flock, the survivors would wheel around and return to the dead and dying.

Over a few obstacles, we follow the dirt track into an abandoned and overgrown claypit. Yet, Starlings cannot dig and are happy to use abandoned cavities. The other day, I came at 5.40 am with an ornithologist friend of mine by his Lada 4×4. The Touareg is parked, but no one is to be seen.

In 2012, I reviewed The Jewel Hunter , an absorbing narrative in which author Chris Goodie travelled throughout Asia, Africa, and Australasia to observe and photograph every Pitta species in the world. A passion for one bird family is also very useful. Jonas D’Abronzo.
