New study quantifies impact of hunting on migratory shorebird populations

New study quantifies impact of hunting on migratory shorebird populations

July 25, 2020July 18, 2020 Supertrooper 2 Comments

Habitat loss and climate change are often blamed for the decreasing numbers of migratory shorebirds in a major flyway in the Asia-Pacific region in recent years. But it might be time to add another likely suspect: hunting. More than 50 million waterbirds from more than 250 different populations use the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF), a […]

Hunters kill migrating birds on their 10,000km journey to Australia

Hunters kill migrating birds on their 10,000km journey to Australia

June 4, 2020February 19, 2021 Supertrooper 3 Comments

IT IS LOW TIDE at the end of the wet season in Broome, Western Australia. Shorebirds feeding voraciously on worms and clams suddenly get restless. Chattering loudly they take flight, circling up over Roebuck Bay then heading off for their northern breeding grounds more than 10,000 km away. I marvel at the epic journey ahead, […]

North Norfolk – 7th to 10th February

February 18, 2019December 23, 2019 Simon Colenutt Leave a comment

Sarah had brought for me, at Christmas, a photography course with David Tipling and so we all headed up to North Norfolk for the weekend. David is a recent convert from Nikon to Olympus and is now an ambassador for Olympus. The main aim for me was to glean some of his knowledge in using […]

Jizan Corniche – Jizan

November 9, 2018December 23, 2019 Jem Babbington Leave a comment

This site is one of the main birding locations in the region and has good wader habitat holding the highest concentration of shorebirds along the Saudi Red Sea coast. The site is easily viewed from the cornice road and in the early morning the sun is behind the observer allowing good viewing conditions. We birded […]

A Bad dose of Hawkie

September 13, 2018December 23, 2019 Simon Rix Leave a comment

Today I had my first outing with Zak for what seems like ages. As is our wont we had a Tour de Østfold. First stop was Kurefjorden. Here we had a rising tide that seemed to bear no resemblance to that which was predicted by the tide tables but conditions were very good with all […]

Pennington Marsh – 23rd March

April 9, 2018December 23, 2019 Simon Colenutt Leave a comment

With a couple of hours to spare after dropping Tobias at school I had a wander around Pennington Marsh taking in Jetty, Butts, Fishtail and Keyhaven Lagoons. It was a bright spring like day but with a strong NW wind it was deceptively cold. Numbers of wader and wildfowl had shown a noticeable and decrease […]

The radical otherness of birds: Jonathan Franzen on why they matter

April 6, 2018February 18, 2021 Supertrooper 1 Comment

For most of my life, I didn’t pay attention to birds. Only in my 40s did I become a person whose heart lifts whenever he hears a grosbeak singing or a towhee calling, and who hurries out to see a golden plover that’s been reported in the neighbourhood, just because it’s a beautiful bird, with […]
