These photos were actually taken right from my hotel room. House-hunting, apparently. Cattle Egret. Doing what cattle egrets do: communicating with cattle, even though these tend to be somewhat dull conversation partners. Though with just two birds and no alcohol in sight, this may not be the right term.

That honor goes to the Gray-crowned Crane , a very sexy species in its own right. Of course, we did, soaking in that slate blue beauty long enough to observe a successful hunt and more of its rangy, awkward flight. Unfortunately, the world cares little for weavers, no matter how rare or range-restricted. The mighty Shoebill.

Unfortunately we have only ever seen dead Barn Owls in the Broome area and one day it would be nice to see a bird hunting over the land. All the tracks onto the station property were underwater and all of the Brahman Cattle have moved to the highest ground that they can find. Black-winged Stilt holding their ground!

Driving north along the Ionian seacoast through the city of Igoumenitsa, there is a place where the main artery takes you right, further away from the sea – follow it for 150 metres (500 ft) and then turn left just before a small stadium. The rest of the road follows the sea for some 3.5 Could they possibly be…?

A few paddle strokes down the river and on the right bank there were four Impala antelopes ( Aepyceros melampus ). nubicoides ) using them as a high viewpoint to hunt dragonflies. The gentleman living on a farm by the Ngotwane Dam said ‘A croc took my dog, right there!’. Cattle Egret 16. How can I not be? Grey Heron 4.

It stops those thousands of migrating birds flying across the Gulf of Mexico and directs them right onto the trees, fields, sanctuaries, beaches along the Bolivar Peninsula, where they hopefully find food and fresh water. I imagined walking right up to them. High Island in April requires Weather, so I was told. American Avocets.

Heading south on a good surfaced road, we made slow progress through the herds of cattle, donkeys and goats that thronged the highway, until we finally reached the land of the Konso. Quality time was spent with a friendly Hamar family at their homestead of grass huts surrounding their cattle corral.
