Taking a leaf from my neighbour’s gardening technique, I have embraced the neglectful method of gardening. Whilst my neighbour applauded my wild patches, he has now convinced me of the need for “joined up” neglect. Lady Helen teased me for being so puffed up about my breeding sucess. Two chicks! I was so proud.

It is the featureless nature of the sea of blue, spanning from horizon to horizon, its neglect of offering a foothold to the wandering eye that binds my thoughts.

No, I am not going to tell you about some blood-sucking bird with hypnotic powers. I am only responding to my subjective impression of a single species’ appearance here; specifically, that of the Bronzed Cowbird. But the bird is cool, and I need the photos to prove my points. I hope you will forgive my rather lurid title.

The story of the White-winged Guan , in some ways resembles the re-discovery of some species thought to be extinct.
