10,000 Birds

MARCH 3, 2019

Now that we’ve entered the third month of the calendar year, take stock: did your birding March come in like a lion or a lamb? The post Best Bird of the Weekend (First of March 2019) appeared first on 10,000 Birds. My birding was positively sheepish during this busy weekend.

Incidentally, encounters with both aardvarks and zorillas are rare – it’s much easier to see lions and leopards. Lion – much easier to see than an Aardvark In contrast to East Africa, encounters with mammals while out birding in Europe are relatively few. We also saw a leopard, but it was the A to Z that sticks in the mind.

In 2019 I joint-led my seventeenth safari in twelve years with Capture Africa, we are a good team. The birdlife here is wonderful, a ten-night safari should give you over 200 species, (2018 & 2019 both gave us 242!). The Okavango Delta is also one of the best places to see the endangered African Wild Dog.

My recent trip was fantastic, and really re-kindled my love of diving, so much so that I’ve started planning and saving for a diving (and birding) trip to Costa Rica in 2019. They are perhaps known for being the dangerous food sensation of Japan, an odd choice of food given how dangerous it is but that is apparently the appeal.

Forget lions, tigers, and bears – if Internet listicles are to be believed, all of Oz is full of crocodiles, sharks, jellyfish, snakes, spiders – even magpies – that are dead set on killing, maiming, or injuring any humans they encounter. Suffice to say, their 2019 Teal Lake Shiraz is a far cry from your bubbe’s Manischewitz.
