Was ihr bis eben nicht wusstet: Es gibt einen europäischen Möwen-Kreisch-Wettbewerb. Der fand kürzlich in der kürzlich in der belgischen Küstenstadt De Panne statt und gewonnen hat ihn der 9-jährige Cooper aus Chesterfield in Derbyshire, der von dort dafür extra nach Belgien gereist ist.
The family heard about the competition from a random man who overheard Cooper doing impressions at a soft-play centre and suggested Cooper could compete.
He scored 92 points out of a possible 100, which meant he won the juvenile category and also had the highest points score in the competition.
The other categories were for adults and also for “colonies”, meaning a group of people doing seagull impressions.
Cooper took his lucky mascot with him – a small model seagull which he calls Stephen and spells with a “ph”, but his parents call Steven Seagull, like the actor Steven Seagal.

Neulich in San Diego. Das Krähen schlaue Vögel sind wissen wir, aber dass sie sich dagegen wehren, dass ihnen ihre Aussichtsplätze weggenommen werden sollen, ist zumindest mir neu.

Ich habe bis eben noch nie ein Schuhschnabelküken gesehen. Dieses wurde im Mubamba-Sumpf in Uganda aufgenommen.
Our first trip out in Uganda, was from Entebbe on the shores of Lake Victoria to see the Shoebill Storks. We left early in the morning, it take around two hours to get to the Mubamba Swamp area. The time of year we were there, the water level was high, which made it difficult top navigate the swamp area and meant the shoebills were further away. Our guide took us to see a family group that was nesting around one and half hours boat ride away. A very enjoyable morning on the edges of Lake Victoria.

SaltyTaco war gerade dabei, mit seiner neuen Quadrocopter-Drohne eine Runde im Hinterhof zu drehen, als eine Eule heran eilte, sie sich schnappte und das Dingen mitnahm. Bisher ist sie nicht wieder aufgetaucht.
Ein Redditor identifiziert den Vogel als Streifenkauz, eine Art, die sehr territorial ist. Der war wahrscheinlich sauer, dass die Drohne in seinem Revier war.

Ob die einen Spotify Account haben? Weil ich würde streamen.
Over a decade ago, Danielle’s journey as the Magpie Whisperer began when she first discovered her fascination for these intelligent birds. From that point on, she dedicated herself to the study and care of magpies, developing a deep bond and understanding of their behaviors and personalities.
She enjoys observing their interactions with each other and with their environment, from the way they enjoy playing, to the intricate vocalizations they use to communicate with one another. Over the years, her passion for magpies has only grown stronger, and she has made it her mission to raise awareness about these birds and to showcase their fun and lovable side through various means.
