No more, no less.

Acrocephalus arundinaceus is considered a Species of Least Concern by BirdLife International because of their extremely large range and population, though there does seem to be a downward trend in population levels. At least, that is what this North American birder thinks – we’ll know for sure if I ever encounter one again!

It is a fascinating world of swampy forests of willow and poplar, inhabited by Black Storks , White-tailed Eagles , Eastern Olivaceous and Icterine Warblers (above), among more than 200 other species. But, published in 1921 in Budapest, Hungary, it was written in Hungarian. Locations, dates, species and numbers, right?

I have asked myself that same question many times over the last six months, until last week, when I was involved in an opening ceremony of five new bird hides at the Palic Lake, by the town of Subotica in the very north of Serbia, along the border with Hungary (all photos are from that area). They got the message right. And so did I.

I am not entirely sure whether most birders outside Germany know or realize that Germany still has a decent population of one of Europe’s most attractive and desired bird species: the Great Bustard Otis tarda. Follow the track through a gap in the pine tree plantation and immediately turn right.

We just needed to get to a vantage point to look into the north pasture of Deep Hollow Ranch which necessitated driving a short way to Teddy Roosevelt County Park, walking out across the field there, making a sharp right turn, following the white-marked fence posts, and setting up our scopes to scan. Still no lapwings. I can almost taste 500!

It’s a unique bird, even its scientific name is wonderful, so it’s not surprising that Gerard Gorman, Woodpecker Expert Supreme, has written a book all about the species. I was surprised to learn that there are two Wryneck species in the Jynx genus: Eurasian Wryneck, Jynx torquilla, and Red-throated Wryneck, Jynx ruficollis.
