In my homeland, some 800 km / 500 mi further north, these ducks are common on migration but very rare in the breeding season and I realized that these are my first young birds – ever. What is killing them? Yet, what is killing the birds of Lake Karla? Spring (migrants and breeding species) and winter (wintering waterbirds).

The tiercels (young Peregrines) must deal with Golden Eagles, Ravens, adult Peregrines, and foxes; they must also learn to navigate the skies and make their own kills, luckily these skills appear to be innately learned.

Marabous have also learnt another trick, and that is to follow vultures and scavenge off the remains of Lion and other large predator kills. They have even been known to kill children who have been incautious enough to approach too closely. During breeding season, their white plumage turns a delicate pink color, a lovely sight indeed.

The last beaver in the area was killed ten miles to the east – near Pancevo around the year 1900, but, reintroduced some dozen years ago, there are some 150 of them in the country nowadays. Whenever I pushed my paddle lower, I had the impression that there is no water and that I paddle on and though the mist, timeless and eternal.
