A family of Eurasian Sparrowhawks showed well on several occasions, than there was one Black Kite , and up to five White-tailed Eagles at once.

Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park and Lower Peirce Reservoir-Singapore

10,000 Birds

There were wild boars and monitors rustling through the leaves as well as the plantain squirrels that we had become so accustomed to. Singapore is a great place to enjoy the woodpecker family. The walk trail at Lower Peirce Reservoir is only 900 metres long and it is a boardwalk. Banded Woodpecker.

Sometimes you get the bird…

10,000 Birds

The chicks, which were about the size of chickens, had brown and fawn striped plumage reminding me of the colours of young wild boars. The family on a peaceful moment. The whole effect was capped off literally by a bony casque that looked ancient and weathered. Check out those claws!

Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve: the Tiger Afternoon

10,000 Birds

On her own, two months ago, she took down a big, old and experienced Indian Boar , who already had some old tiger claw scars. They are 20 months old, as big as their mother, but not as heavy. The fourth one is missing – she is the adventurer among them. These are my first wild tigers ever! The closer one raises her head, than lies back.

10,000 Birds

Examples are wolf, beaver, otter, domestic cat, wolverine, wild boar, elk (moose), and reindeer. As a matter of fact, the photos were one of the biggest initial obstacles to review “Tracks and Signs” because my family refused to give the book back to me once I got it out of the packaging.

It’s the boar hunting season. The soil is disturbed by foraging boars (and there is not a single shot from those hunters). By the cliffs we find several Eurasian Crag-Martins and a consolation species – a family of Golden Eagles in the air! One Grey-headed Woodpecker flies across the road – a promising start.
