Birding Kabul
• Thursday, July 17, 2008 - The Birding Week
| This week (a bit more than that to be honest) has been all about swallows. Each night, just before dusk there is a large movement in a generally North to South direction, unfortunately I can find only Barn swallows, although I have looked intensively. Other than that I saw a brief glimpse of a small broad winged raptor, this could have been either a Sparrowhawk or a Shikra, I didnt get enough of a view to clinch the ID. Earlier in the week I saw a Hoopoe with what appeared to be nesting material or food in its beak, I have looked in the general area that it was headed but to no avail. Finally last night whilst looking once again at the resident Collared Dove, I heard, then saw, a party of eight Bee-eaters fly over, a brilliant sight where ever you are in the world. |
