Re: Returning MigrantsA large area has burnt down very recently - some parts were still smouldering when we were there on Wednesday. We missed some obvious birds like Wattled Starlings, Arrowmarked Babblers and Green Woodhoopoe, they probably fled before the fire. Got nice sighting of Coqui, near the entrance gate.

Re: Returning Migrants"Our" Greater Striped Swallows have returned from far-away places, and came to say hello this morning. Did a brief inspection of the nest on our patio, before departing for breakfast. Ramkat says he'd like to sit down with them over a plate of flying ants and ask them just where they've been, and how the chicks that they raised last season are.

Re: Returning MigrantsThat would be interesting for sure! Can you imagine the stories they would tell? Not sure about the plate of flying ants though.

Re: Returning MigrantsYeah I also prefer the conversation to bird ringing idea, RK How to resize your photos "Better Photography is a journey, not a destination." George D.

Re: Returning MigrantsWhat put me off about ringing is what we saw at Little Eden - a Mocking Cliff Chat, with a ring on its leg, but the claw was deformed and the whole leg and foot was swollen. The same problem with a Village Weaver female. She was hopping around on one leg, the ringed one was deformed. I did make enquiries about who had done ringing there, but never got a satisfactory answer.
