I am only including them in this post to give you my real-life Kabul experience … Four species are the most easily seen in the few urban parks (into which women are not actually allowed to enter – I am not sure about female birds).

They are about the same length (NL 6.2in / 158mm; EL 6.3in / 160mm) and weight (NL 30oz / 850g; EL 29.6oz / 840g), and obviously, the same lens diameter, hence, they should feel the same, right? Next time I will try my local patch of Beljarica backwaters in Belgrade and check how much different the NL experience is.

By the last year of the war, the US increased its military aid to the Greek Government and introduced a new weapon: the first napalm attack after World War II took place right here! Feral Pigeon – Columba livia dom. Even 70 years later, the elders still do not like to talk about it. Also, trekking poles proved useful.

He has seen them before in Cape Town, but those were introduced and feral birds, while in the Balkans they are indigenous and – countable! Worried that such experience might traumatise young Spongebob, I held the paddle as an obstacle, pointed at the angry bird. Well, for me – no, but for Nicolaas, Mute Swans were a lifer species.
