I am a parrot, I cluck I squawk. I have a will of my own. And I do not always talk. I eat like a piggy, throwing food all about. In the wild that is what we do, so new plants will sprout. Sometimes I am broody, sometimes I take a nip or two. Sometimes […]

Dracula parrots: what are they and do they feed on blood?

We are kindly hosted by Panthera.org in their lovely accommodation. I couldn’t wait for first light, and my first hour of birding in Latin America was indeed mind-blowing. All those new […]
Kaziranga explosion
I have a lot of catching up to do, after several wifi-less days in Kaziranga NP, Assam. Our first day in the reserve was incredible. The weather was good, the birds were active and we just saw so many birds. Our guide, Rofikul, did a great job and our daily score was over 170 species! […]
