This is similar to the fact that all birds, even first time breeders within a species build identical nests. Egyptian Vultures raised is isolation used rocks to crack eggs presented to them. They only need to master the technique by practicing; they are born knowing what to do. The behavior was inherent.

The only unstreaked pipit around here and a characteristic breeder of sand dunes is the Tawny Pipit and this one shows well, holding to the grass edge. They are rare breeders here, but at least, this species’ numbers are on the increase. Two European Rollers await us on the wires, while one Eurasian Hoopoe flies by.

Digital technology allows us to present high-quality photographic images together, in one plate, presenting valuable information on birds’ appearance, habitat, and behavior. I miss the vast landscapes of the plates from the Raptors guide, which often presented spacious, two-page layouts.

Whilst most Turtle Doves present in Morocco during the summer periods are probably local breeders the possibility of late arrivals or early returners from the British breeding population getting caught up in the slaughter was a real threat. This was a little win perhaps, but hopefully the first of many.
