At first I dismissed them for some hybrid geese, until I recognized their JIZZ. 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? This year, we had about 65 dead pelicans.

A Great Egret , a few Pygmy Cormorants and, by the middle of the Danube, about a hundred Greylag Geese. Two hundred yards further, the first Common Goldeneye and Smew started to appear and, while counting Smew and geese, a Great Bittern took flight from one stand of reeds to another, right in front of us.

There you will find more breeding terns, gulls and dozens of Graylag Geese.

Straight off the bat we found a Little Grebe and a small flock of distant Cotton Pygmy-geese ! A target bird was next, the Pheasant-tailed Jacana, which was sadly not in breeding plumage but was still attractive. If you have some time to kill, or better yet a tour of Thailand planned, be sure to include it!
