What is killing birds at Karla Lake (Greece)?

10,000 Birds

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. A few Lesser Kestrels by the dyke wall, then a Black-eared Wheatear at some cattle fencing. What is killing them? We do not know, says Dimitris.

Layover in Singapore

10,000 Birds

Anyone with more than a couple of hours to kill could easily make a quick birding foray out from the airport. Around the edges you may see White-breasted Waterhens , Yellow Bitterns and Lesser Whistling Ducks. My personal list for Paser Ris runs to 75 birds over 15 visits that average out at around 25 species per outing.
