The Nymphenburg Park in Munich is known among birders and non-birders alike for Tawny Owls that often roost very close to the paths leading through the green spaces. You often see people on walks stopping under a few specific trees and peering into the foliage to check if the familiar birds are back at their daytime roosts.

Birding with my fellow blogger

10,000 Birds

It started with an email regarding another birder’s blog. Then, the blogger in Panama mentioned that he was going to be in Toronto in early October. The blogger in Toronto asked if he would like to spend a day birding together. That is how Fitzroy and Leslie became possibly the first writers in recent times from 10000 Birds to meet up.

A detective story: A few White-tailed Eagles live in the Netherlands. The Netherlands White-tailed Eagle Working Group watches out for them, partly via transmitters. At one point, a White-tailed Eagle does not change its position anymore, obviously an alarming sign, and subsequently is found dead in a field. It had fallen forward onto a dead coot.

My 12 Favourite Birds of South Africa

10,000 Birds

Because I lived in South Africa for most of my youth, I have seen a large portion of the huge variety of species in this amazing country. Of these, some have become particular favourites over the years, some of which I list here in no particular order – it was already hard enough to get down to ten species in the first place (my initial title was “10 favourite species”…).

Birding Cat Tien NP, Vietnam (Part 1)

10,000 Birds

Cat Tien National Park is a protected area approximately 150 kilometers north of Ho Chi Minh City, and on weekends, it seems to be quite an attraction for young upper-middle-class Vietnamese. The young ladies among them seem to be quite keen to practice their English on Western foreigners carrying heavy camera equipment, which is kind of flattering and makes for an enjoyable experience.

Sport Fishing in Shanghai: Little Egret at Nanhui

10,000 Birds

Little Egrets are a species that can lead to disappointment among birders. Some non-birding friends (or just passers-by trying to help a bird photographer) may excitedly tell you that somewhere, there are “many birds” It then turns out that all of them are Little Egrets – impressive birds for non-birders, but hardly worth a glance once you start spending too much time looking for birds.

Be prepared before you lose your pet

Reddit Animals

I have better peace of mind since I just bought an air-tag and a collar for my dog so when it gets lost I can track it, there are also GPS dog collars too. IF you deal with anybody saying they have your pet get a cop off the street and ask them if they can follow you to pic up your dog and explain your situation. Do this in any other circumstances even if they seem nice which in this case there are alot of alarms going off in my head.

Let's say i just found some money that doesn't belong to me but it was just out in the middle of nowhere then I come back to the site later and there's the guys whose money it was. They let an attack dog loose on me and I have to run away and across a small little river. Is it better to swim to the other side or try to fend off the dog in the water while we're both swimming?

Fish growth rate response to environment?

Reddit Animals

So one of the mollies in my lab had babies. Early on I seperated 3 for use with an ecology experiment. The 18 mollies in the large tank are almost full size, whereas the mollies in the column have not grown at all. The diet is as identical as I can make it. A student asked, and I dont know: Does anyone know what stimuli in the environment specifically changes the growth rate with respect to habitat size?
