10,000 Birds

APRIL 18, 2024

I’ve never quite understood why so many people wrap their scopes up in little jackets, (but nor do I understand why it’s so popular to dress dogs up in coats, too, as they are already wrapped in fur. Perhaps it’s a basic human desire to dress things up.) A pair of Sarus Cranes , digiscoped at Baratphur, India.

10,000 Birds

These two islands are about halfway between the tip of South Africa and Antarctica in the Subantarctic Indian Ocean, have had relatively few human visitors, and are primarily inhabited with some of the rarest seabirds in the world and a smaller number of mammals. Which makes it a haven for seabirds….and and seabirders.
