Birding Kabul

• Tuesday, July 29, 2008 - Its a Parrot !

I walked out of my building this morning and heard a familiar sound, sure enough two Rose-ringed Parakeets Psittacula krameri passed overhead, I knew this species could be found in Kabul but this was the first time I had seen any.  Yesterday I looked on Doris' nest and once again there was a dove sitting, a closer look and present were two small white eggs.  Now I know that doves are frequent layers but I have no way of knowing if this is Doris or another dove utilising this nest site. How I wish I had taken those ringing courses many years ago.  The only other birds of interest were two bee-eaters last night and two more two nights before that.
