We are on the go until usually around 1:30 give or take a herd of zebras blocking the road. The Gray Heron flying in from the right, then there is the African Sacred Ibis, The Little Egret , another Sacred Ibis , then a Black-winged Stilt , and at the far left is an Egyptian Goose. At the top, in the water is an African Open-bill.

They’re not the Lammergeyer – they’re not even close, as the Lammergeyer dwells alone in the genus Gypaetus – but the Egyptian Vulture and Cinereous Vulture are worthy birds in their own right. And then there’s the Griffon Vulture. Ultimately, this was the only vulture I was to see on my Spanish adventure.

A pair of screeching Blacksmith Lapwings was flying around as six Burchell’s Zebras were quenching their thirst, suspiciously observing surroundings every now and then. Asia: Somewhere below that mysterious eagle, at the far shore of the lake, lies one Bengal Tiger … and further to the right – two more! The other two are motionless.

Also on the scene were a diversity of common doves and pigeons: Rock Pigeon , Spotted Dove , Zebra Dove , and Pink-necked Green Pigeon. I went right to the main pool to get a ration of Old World shorebirds. Of course, I’d already encountered tons of Javan Mynas mixed with a few Commons. Welcome to Sungei Buloh!

As the old saying goes, “when you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras” This is not an easy bird, but it is expected. Last week a mystery bird from New Jersey rightly caused a fair bit of confusion among birders of the Garden State and beyond. In it we can see things we recognize in other, more common, birds.

We had not been expecting to see a Banded Woodpecker and there we had one right in front of us. We were surprised that it had taken until this day to find Coconut Lorikeets. We discovered Olive-winged Bulbuls and then suddenly there was a blur of bright red across the boardwalk in front of us.

This actually benefits our local wildlife, because the rainwater then gets trapped in the borrow pit and in some instances it will sustain the wildlife right through our dry months when there is no rainfall at all. This particular borrow pit is right beside the highway around seventy kilometres from Broome and is always worth stopping at.

Not sure that I impressed them, I chose to bluff them and looked left and right for a suitable tree branch to pick. Zebra finch, Taeniopygia (Poephila) guttata. Whatever the case, I was facing them and barking back, as loud as I could, looking utterly ridiculous while trying to speak the language they may understand.

The Big Five–lion, leopard, African buffalo, elephant, and rhinoceros–are impressive, but my heart lies with the patterned mammals, giraffes and zebras. And so, I went on the American Birding Association Safari to South Africa. Sadly, we weren’t able to join them or the leopard.

They are harmless to humans and their horns are used for wrestling other males for mating rights. This lioness remained hidden from these zebras in the long grass until she felt they were close enough for the charge. Rhinoceros Beetles are nocturnal and most often found at night when they are attracted to bright lights.

But this reply is based on a confusion between the praiseworthiness or blameworthiness of a moral agent and the rightness or wrongness of the action of an agent. Moral concepts such as “right” and “wrong” apply only to autonomous beings. KBJ: Martin cannot be serious. This argument cuts too deep, however.

Here are what might look like Zebra Finches , but are really flights of beer lined up in a busy Biercafe. Here is a pilsner-colored Cedar Waxwing , exhibiting the crispness of a summer lager.

We were surprised that the bird-life in the morning was quite different to in the evening with Zebra Finch, Double-barred Finch and Long-tailed Finch choosing that time of day to drink from the remaining water. It is a very popular place for Great Bowerbirds and they constantly fly back and forth across the quarry. An almost dry quarry.

We were soon aware of s small group of Zebra Finch in the tree and although we have seen them drink from the sea in the past we thought some fresh water would be much appreciated! After encountering literally thousands of Budgerigars flocking to water only a few days before the least we could do was give the Zebra Finch some fresh water.

We were surprised to observe Zebra Finch , because there did not appear to be any water, but they could have been accessing water on the station and coming to the crater for food. But, that’s what it is all about… right??!! Heading around the rim. Just remember you are out there alone and you do need to be self-sufficient.

In any case, I sort of redeemed myself with I picked up a distant Crested Caracara that slowly got closer and closer until it passed right over the top of an adoring group of birders.

I have actually heard them referred to as “ladder-backed woodpeckers” or “zebra-backed woodpeckers” but that first colloquial name should be avoided lest it cause confusion with the species of that name from the southwest.)

You can access it easily on the way to Geikie Gorge by turning to your right towards the Fitzroy River and cross over to the far side to park in the shade of the tall trees.
