Birding Shanghai in September 2023

10,000 Birds

In some months, I don’t get to see too many exciting birds in Shanghai – so, as the end of the month draws closer, I start wondering what to write about in my monthly post (my contract with 10,000Birds states that I need to have some birding-related information in each of my posts, even though I am sometimes tempted to ignore the relevant clauses).

Birding Tabin, Sabah, Borneo

10,000 Birds

Sometimes I just want to hug eBird, or more specifically, whoever writes the short species descriptions (even though I am not the typical hugging kind of person, trust me on this). Such as in the case of the Rufous-backed Dwarf-Kingfisher , which eBird describes as a “tiny, unbelievably cute kingfisher: a luminous ball of pink, orange, yellow, and varying amounts of blue and purple” Admittedly, when thinking of hugging this person, I hope it is a cute young female student rather than

Acheron Delta, Greece: Hell is Closed for Renovation

10,000 Birds

We tried yesterday to visit the Nekromanteio of Afyra, the very entrance of ancient Greek’s Hades, but the world of the dead was locked up (well, not really for renovation, but for further research at this archeological site, after the height of a tourist season). Still, it is somehow reassuring to know that Hell is closed: one Albanian proverb says that there are no keys for the Hell’s Gates – they are open to all.

Well – I only saw two species, the most common ones at Sepilok, Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia. But they are well worth their own post, even though I cannot really write too much about them. Not that they need many words anyway. One is the Black-crowned Pitta , a species endemic to Borneo with a number of aliases including black-headed pitta, black-and-crimson pitta, black-and-scarlet pitta, and black-crowned garnet pitta (if you want to identify it by its monograms on its shirts, they always sta

Another Endemic Amazona

The islands of the Caribbean are home to 176 species of endemic birds unevenly distributed across the region. Some islands host one or two species, others more than twenty. Many of these species are declining in number, having to share their limited geographical range with an expanding human population without a doubt impedes their ability to proliferate as needed.

Hurting animals and repenting later.

Has anyone, as a child, ever hurt animals like pelting stray cats and dogs with stones? And once the deed is done you start repenting your vile act. I used to do this when I was a kid. But now, I would give my life to protect them. Have done a bit of rescue volunteering in the past. I know no amount of rescue service will make up or replace or change what those poor beings went through.
