Dear Outdoor Cat Owners/Feral Cat Supporters, Does the photo above sicken you? I’m allergic to cats, but in my lifetime I’ve rescued five of them. The last one, who took up residence under my house on a frigid January afternoon, is now a friend’s happy, healthy indoor cat. Is it the fault of the cats?

She’s not really a birder, but having been friends with me she knows that they are there, watches some ( Red-bellied Woodpeckers are her favorite) and will even drink shade-grown coffee because she knows it’s good for migratory birds. Photo courtesy Kimm Schroeder She also has some serious cats.

In the UK we have a mere three resident woodpeckers, but in the vicinity of Kerkini it’s not difficult to find all of Europe’s peckers except the Three-toed. There’s usually a wintering Peregrine around A resting Sparrowhawk Wild Cat – note the thick, bushy tail. It was photographed on the east embankment.

It was more than 50 years before I was to see another lynx, not in the Doñana, but in the Sierra Morena mountains to the north, which is now the best place to see these handsome cats in the wild. A Greek Wild Cat , photographed near Lake Kerkini I’ve had a few encounters with wild cats, too, in both France and Greece.

Snakes, cats and raccoons preyed on the nuthatches as well. It’s hard to ‘prove’ extinction, as we have seen with the continued push to ‘find’ the Ivory-billed Woodpecker.”. After World War II, the nuthatch began its long slow decline due to habitat loss and invasive species. Either way, it is on the brink of extinction at least.

Another lovely red skittle that I had the privilege of spotting on my first visit to Guyana in 2008 is the aptly-named Blood-colored Woodpecker found in the coastal areas in and around Georgetown. This diminutive woodpecker has even been spotted in the botanical gardens in the city. Giant waterlilies at Karanambu Ranch.
