It is reasonable to assume that you – you reader of this blog – howevermuch you may have interest in the starnose mole, the common octopus, and other of Higgins’ zoological examples — you like birds best of all. Now, we know that owl hearing is extraordinarily acute, able to perceive the faintest rustlings of a vole under heavy snow.

I probably wrote about it on this blog but it escapes me at the moment. A pair of Greater Ani hunted tirelessly to feed two voracious nestlings. For me as a resident birder in a twin island nation, it’s been many months since my last lifer. The truth is before last Friday I can’t recall what my latest lifer was.

Surely the hunters who come onto 10,000 Birds to talk about what great conservationists hunters are will agree that lead ammunition should not be used to hunt? Why, then, is lead still used to hunt? And why do hunting organizations largely line up against banning lead ammunition for hunting?

Hunting of Scarlet Ibis for their feathers as well as drainage of portions of the swamp for rice harvesting was, at one time, putting what is now a major tourist destination in jeopardy. Fortunately, forward-thinkers prevailed, the site is now protected as a Ramsar Wetland , and the hunting of Scarlet Ibis has become a social taboo.

This may not sound like much, but it is really good compared to just a few decades ago, when hunting had significantly reduced its range and overall population. Way back in 1995, on my first trip to Spain, it was almost an outrageous event to see Purple Swamphens in the far north-east of the country.
