The birds have moved the nest site slightly each year depending on human interaction, but it is still confined to one small section of grey rocky outcrops with a great view for sitting for 28 days. Recently, however, we got a call to say that a Flatback Turtle was coming out of the sea at 2:30pm!

We have had a pair move due to human traffic increasing through the dune system and others have had to adapt to the changing landscape. Feral cats are a huge problem in Australia and they do take a lot of the eggs. This pair laid a white egg last year on their second attempt in the exact same nest.

That’s an old wives’ tale that says bird won’t take care of a baby bird with a human smell on it–not true at all. Wildlife rehabbers are good, but what human can teach where to flip the best leaves to look for grubby larvae? What human can point out a fox hidden nearby and how to avoid it?

I visited Tengchong in late 2020 and wrote about it – but I also went there earlier, in 2017, and this post shows some photos I took during that trip, along with the usual comments that seem to be much more about ridiculing my fellow humans (especially ornithologists and the like) than providing useful information on birds.

Indeed, most cuckoo eggs are accepted by the babax ( source ), although a small proportion of hosts reject cuckoo eggs and often boast about this capability when having a few too many drinks. Ditto Oriental Turtle Dove. The Chinese Babax is a laughingthrush, as is Elliot’s Laughingthrush. Difficult – no, hopeless.
