Only for Dogs and Birders – Kalamas Delta, Greece

10,000 Birds

“The estuary and the delta of the River Kalamas form the most important wetland of northwest Greece”, so the “ Birding in Greece ” guidebook claims for the area where I am heading, a bit late since I overslept this morning. 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.

Black-breasted Buzzard

10,000 Birds

Over recent months we have observed larger than normal numbers of Black-breasted Buzzards , so we can assume that they have had some successful breeding over the past year. It has been quite common to observe up to six Black-breasted Buzzards at the local ephemeral lakes and also on our travels in the north of Australia over recent months. Many of the birds observed have been juvenile birds and have not quite developed their full adult plumage.

Best Bird of the Weekend (Second of October 2015)

10,000 Birds

A beautiful weekend for watching birds demands beautiful people watching birds. Were you out there? I enjoyed a nice selection of sparrows and raptors in Pennsylvania farm country, with a pair of bold and noisy Red-shouldered Hawks taking the prize. Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was one of the 76 the Queens County Bird Club recorded during the Big Sit on Saturday at the hawk watch platform at Fort Tilden.

Where Are You Birding This Third Weekend of October 2015?

10,000 Birds

October tends to be a rather windy month in many parts of the world. Keep your eyes to the skies… you never know what the wind may blow your way! I’ll be cooped up inside for too much of the weekend, which will preclude me from any reasonable measure of birding. Corey, on the other hand, cannot be held back from exercising his Constitutional right to observe avian activity; look for him anywhere in New York the vagrant winds blow.

Cape Sugarbirds in Kirstenbosch

10,000 Birds

Earlier this year, Duncan wrote a charming piece about Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens in Cape Town, South Africa. I already buy into the value of such gardens for freshly-arrived birders and know Kirstenbosch to be one of the best. On a damp, cold day in the UK, I took myself back via Duncan’s post and a few old photos. The Cape Sugarbirds can be elusive some days, yet can be seen atop the proteas singing boldly the next.

2015 Queens County Birdf Club Big Sit Results

10,000 Birds

The 2015 Queens County Bird Club Big Sit at Fort Tilden on Saturday was a rousing success! In addition to having more participants, we had more bird species, 76, beating out last year’s inaugural effort by two whole species. We really had to work hard for our 76 species this year too, and it makes me wonder if it will possible to ever break a hundred species from the platform during an October big sit.

Some thoughts on scientific collecting

10,000 Birds

A few weeks ago a colleague of mine at work expressed delight as he looked over my shoulder at work and saw a large photo, the first such photo ever, of a Moustached Kingfisher. The species was in the news because some scientists had finally managed (or bothered – it’s much the same thing) to locate the population high in the mountains of the Solomon Islands, and catch and photograph one.
