10,000 Birds

OCTOBER 23, 2023

If you want to know what happened on August 31, 1984, I can name at least one event: In the Padang-Sugihan Wildlife Reserve in South Sumatra province, a Large Frogmouth was mobbed by a Greater Racket-tailed Drongo, as described here. Lucky him, right? At between 4 pm and 6 pm, to be exact. Though he ended up dead anyway.

The boat Captain got us right in close. When were visiting Smoo cave, this one was right in the cave entrance. I gave up on visiting the cave, and just watched this bird washing, preening and then jumping right in, and catch this small flat fish. I have to admit, some of this photography work is easier than others.

One morning, I woke up to see a White-breasted Nuthatch in the tree right behind our 5th wheel, but before I could get out there with my camera, it was gone, never to see seen in the next three days. We took a break and tried our hands at fishing, with no luck what so ever, but the many Osprey over head all seem to be able to find fish.
