4 The Love Of Animals

Then, of course, I’m a sucker for things that make me laugh, so I loved the jumping mandarin ducks, the mandarin ducks flinching and flying. Fothergill: For me, it has to be Svalbard, which is an archipelago of islands between Greenland and northern Norway. That was one of my favorites as well. Me: Thank you.

Illegal spring hunting and round-ups of moulting birds are taking place on the Russian breeding grounds and illegal shooting continues in Norway. The Common Pochard is not just a scarce breeding bird, but the second most numerous wintering duck in Serbia and it will be a hard battle to protect it against the strong hunting lobby.

Hybrid dabbling duck , Rieselfelder Münster, Germany. Also high on my list of favourite birds for 2016 is a hybrid dabbling duck whose parentage I have yet to find out. I was quite shocked to learn that my last Northern Gannets were seen in Norway waaaaay back in 1992, some 15 years ago! But … GREAT BUSTARDS!!
