Given that according to the HBW, the species prefers dense primary and secondary montane forests, the note that the bird also forages among kitchen waste (in the same HBW entry) seems somewhat incongruous. Fish & Wildlife Service has a web page for this species – but it contains absolutely no information.

Or would be, had I encountered more of them – so far, I have seen only a very small share of the approximately 233 woodpecker species, and got decent photos of an even smaller number – not much more than 10% of all of them. So, writing a post about them is easy. Supposedly, they smoke less than the Brown-capped ones, too.

They have almost disappeared as breeding birds from England Both Turtle Doves and Spotted Flycatchers were once common summer birds here in Suffolk, but have suffered severe declines, so much so that they have become very scarce and difficult to find. Eastern Subalpine Warblers are common in the hills here. All very confusing.

So, maybe not be the best place to visit for monks suffering from depression. Maybe these people like challenges – at least here at the monastery, getting good shots of this species is quite easy. Another species apparently enjoying the proximity of a monastery is the White-winged Grosbeak.

And here in Europe, they are the real deal, an indigenous species and not domesticated animals gone wild. This was only my second time ever to observe this subspecies (the first time was here as well), two other subspecies I have observed in India. Finally, 24 species in Annex I of the EU Bird Directive were recorded in this area.

Its mood is not helped by the ambiguous review on eBird: “Although not actually pale, this brownish songbird is one of the plainer thrushes in its range” The Latin species name of the Dusky Thrush is eunomos (I guess that is Greek, but whatever) – meaning well-ordered. One page is dedicated to the Long-tailed Shrike.

Magical“ is one of those words that suffer from overuse and I usually avoid it – but in this case, I cannot think of a better description. The choice of species is such that I do not know where to look first. Numerous flocks of White Pelicans make for the largest and the most obvious species.
