In the most of Europe, Brown Bear is a mythical creature that lives only in mediaeval tapestries and folk tales. In the European Union there are only 10,000 mature bears (source: IUCN). Not much further, on the new tarmac that ends 6 km before the Gramos village, we find muddy bear footprints crossing the road.

Not professionally – these people come in SUVs and probably never recapture their gas money from the fish they catch (though come to think of it, neither do I with my bird photos). This is ok as birds do not have teeth anyway). One strange thing about Chongming is the inevitable presence of people fishing. End of side note.

When out birding, I prefer completely wild habitat. I enjoy birding in cocoa estates especially – as they retain some of the highest percentage of native biodiversity (as compared to other altered habitats). Shade-grown crops have myriad advantages, and naturally, we’re here for the birds. Yellow-breasted Flycatcher.

But I was driving too fast and passed it, so I had to uncomfortably break on moist and somewhat slippery road to reverse and to stop opposite to the bird, less than 4 metres from it. The bird tolerated us for perhaps a dozen seconds before it majestically took off. Absolutely thrilled! Cover photo by Snezana & Slobodan Panjkovic.

The annual Christmas Bird Count is a venerable tradition and this year’s will be the 113th. What’s not to like about citizen science, conservation, and transforming a day of slaughter into a day of enjoying being outside watching birds?

For too long the scourge of spring migration, the blight of Big Days, the bane of birding, has afflicted us. Mid-May is the best time of year for birding.* Sadly, the greeting card industry, flower shop proprietors, and chocolate makers have conspired to deny us half of the best weekend of the year for birding.

Reports abounded of a huge variety of birds, from thrushes to nightjars, terns to vireos. Despite the amount of time spent birding I did not neglect my family at all, enjoying an outing to the Bronx Zoo on Saturday afternoon and a hike at Doodletown Road in Bear Mountain State Park on Sunday. And was it ever!
