Selecting my Top Ten Breckland birds should have been easy, but there was one crucial decision to be made. Should my Top Ten be birds that birders come to the Brecks to see, or my 10 favourite species? In the end I opted for a combination of the two. Great Bustards were lost from the […]
The information is current and up-to-date in accordance with the latest veterinarian research. Learn more » Hi, I’m Dr. Lauren! Read my introduction to learn more about me and my two adventurous cats, Pancake and Tiller. On a recent hike/scramble up one of the tallest regional mountains, it was not exactly what I expected. But the first […]
I hope you and your dogs are enjoying the last bit of summer! I feel like it flew by, though I am already looking forward to the cooler dog walking weather 😉 August was a busy month as we worked hard to get some new products made and on the way to our warehouse, […]
It is a time-honored tradition among Shanghai-based birders to go to some coastal places two or three hours north of the city to unsuccessfully look for Spoon-billed Sandpipers. This quest was difficult enough a few years ago but has since become more frustrating, as ever more areas are blocked off – not to protect the […]
My human wanted to capture some shots of me in the turret, and we happened to be there at the perfect time for some great lighting. Of course we got some cute portraits first.

If I’ve already piqued your fancy by using “cat” and “parade” in the same sentence, you might want to start planning a trip to Belgium. The Kattenstoet (which literally translates to “the Cat Parade”) occurs in a small […]
Some years ago I was birding in the hills outside Ranikhet, in Uttarakhand, in the foothills of the Himalayas. We had seen an interesting selection of birds, including Streaked Laughing Thrushes, Grey-winged Blackbirds, Rufous-cheeked Scimitar Babblers and a Scaly-bellied Woodpecker, but nothing unexpected. Then, suddenly, our guide, Gajendra, got excited. He enthusiastically pointed out a […]
It was time for my annual wellness check up so my human bundled me up and took me to the vet clinic. The waiting room was temporarily dog free, so she let me hang out on my leash. It didn’t take long for them to take me back to the exam room. The tech came […]
I’ve lived all my life in Toronto, Canada. I have been lucky to be able to travel to other places to bird, but Toronto is where my birding adventures began. There is always so much to see in every season. Toronto is located on the north shore of Lake Ontario. The three rivers that run […]
