Really looking forward to going home to #Rwanda next week. Until then I will be posting images to highlight the country’s stunning avian diversity. I’ll start with one of my favourites, the Malachite Kingfisher. Photographed @golf_kigali #visitRwanda #TwitterNatureCommunity


Did you know if you hold an ermine up to your ear, you can hear what it’s like to be attacked by an ermine?

Common Crane (Grus grus) is a passage bird in Hungary, usually wintering in Spain, North Africa and Asia Minor. So I was delighted today to find a single flock of 433 birds. A bit unusual for mid-winter. Many were practising their mating dance. #birdinghungary #BirdsSeenIn2023
