Putting a baby bird back in its nest is not always the right thing to do. Mites will eventually kill the bird. Even if you do not see an obvious wound, cat or dog saliva, which is full of nasty bacteria, can still get into a bird’s eyes/orifices and will eventually kill the bird; it will just die more slowly and painfully.

Two hundred yards further, the first Common Goldeneye and Smew started to appear and, while counting Smew and geese, a Great Bittern took flight from one stand of reeds to another, right in front of us. And this one chose to fly right in front of us. Here in Serbia, in the south of the continent, this species is a proper rarity.

Many people find themselves with a few hours to kill during transit and could potentially add a few ticks to their trip list as they pass through. Security is taken very seriously in the aviation business and discretion is better than having to explain yourself to tightly wound security personnel.
