After 3 months of South and Southeast Asia, Indonesia and Australia, Arjan’s count stood at 2,060 species. My Big Year is such a succession of new experiences that there is simply no time to think of other things. I’ve had so many incredible experiences. I exchange my heavy, clumsy poncho for a light rain jacket.

The scope is worldwide; of the 24 birds depicted, five are from the Americas; five from Eurasia; three from New Zealand; two from Australasia; three from Africa; one from Africa and Asia; one from Antarctica; two worldwide, and two from Asia, introduced worldwide.

Anyway, the story is not quite how I remembered it, to be honest, but fitting enough to describe the almost claustrophobic birding experience in ever-shrinking Nanhui. Fortunately, some birds seem to be ok with a concrete environment – like this Blue Rock Thrush. Did the bird thank me? Grant me three wishes, as I expected? Did it f*ck.

Like the Adjutants in Asia and Jabiru of the Americas, the Marabou is our bare-headed scavenging stork. Only slightly shorter, but more elegantly built than the Marabou, the Saddle-billed also has a sister species in Asia, the Black-necked Stork. It is also related to Wood Stork of the Americas and Milky Stork of Asia.

As cheesy as it may sound, these experiences with what I was taught all my life were foes wanting nothing more than my demise were life-changing. Two small white bundles of feathers emerged from the leaves, danced through the air across the road and landed in a low bush a few feet in front of me. Azure T**s. My first ever Azure T**s.

So, beside a lot of birds and the sunny sky, I want the coldest thing to experience year-round to be my beer. While there is a lot left to be done when it comes to research and nature protection in many tropical countries, there are not that many jobs in that line of work, and ecotourism seem to be the industry of choice.

The experience, the place, and the bird combine to make this my BBOTY. But at any rate, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that was just incomparable; I hope I never repeat it, but was glad to have had it happen, just to enjoy the amazing encounter and horror movie–type buzz. Carlos’s BBOTY – the Nicobar Pigeon.
