Is there a market for guano??

While we were working on the cameras this afternoon, I spoke with Jenny from the DEC about Luzerne.  Jenny told us that Luzerne was found on the sidewalk next to the Seneca Towers.  Due to the trauma found on her body, it looked like she hit the building.

I thought everyone would like to know.   

   

OH no!!! Poor wee girl!!!

Poor wee lad.

Malta DOES get worse and worse with every migration. As do Cyprus and a few other Med countries. All we can do is support the organisations that work for the birds - and refuse to spend any tourism dollars in such places. I am pleased to see that people on this forum are also interested in a topic which is dear to my heart. (No, Ireland is not squeaky-clean either... "we" seem to restrict our attention to BoPs. Lovely.)

Who teaches these kids?? Or doesn't?!

Ah! I saw the headline but did not check it out. DEFinitely the Lady Tree!!!

Michael Viney writes a wonderful natural history column every week in The Irish Times. It is called "Another Life" and is always worth checking. Thought you would all be interested in this piece.

An honour to which I aspire...
