I associate different times of the year with particular birds and bird movements. In some cases, I have been following these events since childhood and they have become a part of my life. One such period has just started and will continue into September. As the climatic conditions over the Mediterranean become stable in the […]
Tan Phu Forest is about 2 hours North of Ho Chi Minh City, and the location of a few bird blinds set up by a Vietnamese who used to be a park ranger at Cat Tien National Park and probably learned about the economic potential of attracting foreign birders. I guess that it is easier […]
Naturally, I am thinking of Shakespeare’s play while the ferry approaches Helsingør’s Kronborg Castle (Elsinore). The sea is frothing with Great Cormorant and Herring Gull, with more than 100 birds diving into the water. What’s that? A fin, another one. There are Harbour Porpoises right next to the ferry! They are probably hunting for herring […]

Once upon a time, there was an adventurous Mexican young woman called Miriam. She packed her bags, waved her family goodbye, and left for Sweden. At Lund University she studied economics, braved the cold, and found love: a nice ABBA-loving Viking called Fredrik. They bought a wee house and lived happily ever after. The end. […]
