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. The species is quite common within settlements indeed, and the inner cities are a favoured haunt. The sky has been haunting me for days now. They have gone.

Getting to know the subtleties in differences between closely related species takes years of dedication and practice. Thirdly, many species of shorebirds display such vast differences in their summer and winter plumages that it is always interesting to note how some birds in the same flock are in contrasting stages of plumage.

I neglected to take the camera into the courtyard in the beginning, though I did bring the hounds and their beds. You are choosing domination and enslavement and forced breeding and unnecessary slaughter. It's about not fetishizing one species while making an industry of torturing others. You are choosing violence.

I tried to get a better idea of what exactly the definition of cuckoo-dove is but am still not very clear about it – Wikipedia only offers the rather formal definition “any of several species of bird in the genera Macropygia , Reinwardtoena, and Turacoena of the pigeon family.” But I may well be wrong.

The story of the White-winged Guan , in some ways resembles the re-discovery of some species thought to be extinct. A large and striking bird like this would be hard to neglect in a museum collection. The decades of storage in a museum came after it was regarded as an extinct species. The Guan was declared extinct.

I am only responding to my subjective impression of a single species’ appearance here; specifically, that of the Bronzed Cowbird. Instead, they lay their eggs in other species’ nests, and let those nest-making birds (often significantly smaller than the cowbirds) raise their young. Native versus invasive species?
