Australian Spotted Crakes near Broome – 10,000 Birds

,
Last Sunday afternoon we traveled out of town to once again a bird from our vehicle across the flooded highway across Roebuck Plains. There are still many Egrets and the Magpie Geese are all on the move with their young. The number of Pied Herons in the area varies from two to twenty four at the moment. There are also many pairs of Black-winged Stilt with young and that is what I thought I was initially photographing in the header photo above. We’ve observed a few families of Black-winged Stilt and the young are small as below. Black-winged Stilt and…

The Cost of Royalty: How Much Do Spanish Royal Engagement Rings Cost?

Kiki,
When it comes to engagement rings, few things spark as much interest as those worn by royals. Spanish royal engagement rings, in particular, have captured the imagination of many. Known for their history, luxury, and immense value, these rings often symbolize more than just a union—they embody tradition, legacy, and the grandeur of a royal family. The engagement ring, a symbol of commitment, can vary dramatically in cost, especially when it comes to the Spanish monarchy, where prices are influenced by the gemstones, history, and craftsmanship involved. The Spanish royal family, led by King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, has…

Robstown ECHS offering veterinarian program

,
ROBSTOWN, Texas — Veterinarian shortages could leave 75 million animals without medical care by the year 2030, according to a study from Mars Veterinary Health.

Couple says Windsor-Essex needs more emergency vet resources after the dog’s death

Kiki,
Amherstburg couple Donna and Geoff Hibbert wanted to see more after-hours emergency service veterinary clinics in the region after they waited eight hours at the only one in Windsor-Essex while their dog vomited blood. Although the region has a number of animal clinics, the Walker Road Animal Hospital is the only service in this part of southwestern Ontario that operates a “24-hour emergency veterinary hospital.” This means that for animals who are sick after hours or on the weekends, Walker Road is their only option. As a result, pet owners travel far for help and often end up waiting hours…

Little Egret with abnormal plumage near Broome – 10,000 Birds

Kiki,
We have continued to observe the birds along the edge and on the Great Northern Highway to the south of Broome across Roebuck Plains. The depth of water over the highway varies daily and the bird-life varies too. Many parts of the north of Australia are still inaccessible due to flooding and the best place to check is the Main Roads website before going for a drive. There is not a lot of traffic at any time, so you are able to pull to the edge of the bitumen and stop watching the birds. Don’t leave the bitumen or you…

Migrants at the Beach – 10,000 Birds

Kiki,
Those who are familiar with my ethos know quite well that I am very much for the experience as opposed to the payoff. Some call it a preference for the journey rather than the destination. Nomenclature aside, few can deny the benefits of simply being in nature, when there are birds around that’s a bonus! I have been most fortunate to spend all my life thus far as an island creature, never far away from the ocean. Whether on Trinidad or Tobago, there are few places one can visit where the presence of the sea isn’t felt. If you can’t…
