How to create an IBA and get a permanent headache in five easy steps

10,000 Birds

First: Dream about it. As a teenager in Yugoslavia, I used to buy National Geographic in secondhand bookshops. Fascinated with New York’s Jamaica Bay, I started dreaming about creating a similar wetland reserve on the Danube inside Belgrade, the area I explored by kayak. Before I had a clue what I was doing, I encompassed the Danube backwaters into the reserve borders that I draw on transparent paper pressed against a street map of the city.

Greater Spotted Woodpecker

10,000 Birds

My bird feeding array has been set up outside the window of my study. I can gaze from here and contemplate the important things in life such as, “ is my trellis crooked, or is my neighbour’s fence slightly off horizontal?”. You know, the kind of things that keep pedants awake at night. As I flick through eBay looking for a laser-sighted spirit level, a flash of black and white passes the window and lands on the peanut-drilled log.

A Big Day, Some Bad News, and a Brazilian Surprise

10,000 Birds

This past week in birding news was nothing if not exciting. Almost 16,000 birders, participating in the second annual Global Big Day on May 14th, ticked some 6,284 species worldwide. (Let’s see Noah Strycker do that!). Unfortunately, those numbers may dip in the future, if the North American Bird Conservation Initiative is right and one-third of the continent’s birds are threatened.

Red-necked Stint beyond the coast

10,000 Birds

Along Broome’s coastline we encounter literally hundreds of Red-necked Stint among all the flocks of migratory shorebirds that make Australia their home during the non-breeding season. They are the smallest shorebird among the flock and are usually at the back of the flock furthest from the sea at high tide. They either roost high up on the beach or frantically feed along the edge taking every opportunity to get ready for the long migration they make each year.

Birding the Western Treatment Plant at Werribee

10,000 Birds

I just got back from a flying visit to Melbourne, Australia’s second city and an exciting place to visit and live in. Most of the trip was taken up with family meals and nights on the town with friends (and suffering a bit in the morning), but I did get away to do some birding in Melbourne’s top birding spot which isn’t so much a dump as the pits.
