The Shoebill serves as the symbol of the magnificent wildlife experiences Uganda offers visitors, which may seem a bit odd. This deeply weird bird represents the very tip of the spear of Uganda’s wildlife tourism sector, currently considered the country’s largest and most significant export. Malachite Kingfisher.

I am having a wonderful time at the 15th Annual Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival. The relative tameness of many Florida birds is one of the many reasons to come birding in this marvelous destination for wildlife.

Having observed the Cattle Egret in breeding plumage at the Derby Poo Ponds on June 19th we found ourselves at Windjana Gorge first thing the following morning. We spent several hours at Windjana Gorge and there was a great variety in wildlife as always. As we all well know there is something very different about 2020.

That was not all, a few days later, by one village rubbish dump, not far from Ahmedabad, we had more than 100 Egyptian Vultures (above); plus 20 more at the dead cattle dumping site at the outskirts of the city. Finally, when our SUV broke down in Gujarat, India, some three years ago, my first two Egyptians were flying above the road!

This actually benefits our local wildlife, because the rainwater then gets trapped in the borrow pit and in some instances it will sustain the wildlife right through our dry months when there is no rainfall at all. It takes roughly 50 minutes to get there and it is not signposted.

So I packed my binoculars thinking that, even if the trip wouldn’t be as bird-rich as my last trip to the Sunshine State (for the mighty, mighty Space Coast Birding & Wildlife Festival ), at least a few crackers would wing my way. In this, I was absolutely wrong. Orlando, Florida is an ecological blight.

It actually looked like the station owner was breeding birds rather than cattle! Other wildlife also has to cope with all the lying water and we saw this Gould’s goanna on the bitumen road and it was having a bit of a look around to see if it could find anywhere dry that was not part of the road system!

The University of Puerto Rico, an "1862" LGU founded in 1900, operates a slaughter facility killing small ruminants -- typically goats and sheep, cattle being large ruminants.
