Interesting! I wouldn’t have guessed that, but it makes sense. They have huge feet and walk around their eggs often

Came across a brood of these chicks in a nearby National Park. They stay in parental care for up to 9 months, and only 12% of chicks per nest grow to adult due to their susceptibility to disease and poor weather.

I had the exact same experience. My poor level 4s didn’t stand a chance

Gorgeous. Never seen this one before

Thanks for the detailed response. It doesn’t seem like there is a perfect answer here, but it is very important that you and other admins/mods can find some sort of sustainable way to delegate and manage for the long term. We really appreciate what you have done so far

Such a good assist from Salah

Such a good finish

I would love to have more discussion type posts here! And I really enjoy reading these experiances.

My favorite experience is a rather simple one. I have only been birding for a few years now. In my first year of birding, I was along a stream-side path that I knew well, looking to see what birds I could find. Out of the bush beside me popped a white-starred robin, one of the cutest and most beautiful birds I had ever seen. It is a altitude migrant, where it moves to lower altitudes in the winter. It was obviously a colder winter than usual as they were usually found in that area.

The best part about it was how tame it was around we me, and I managed to get a bunch of pictures. I was able to bring my SO to the same area the following day and find it in the same place.

I completely agree. It makes it more sustainable on both sides

I really enjoy wingspan, so I will be keeping a close eye on this one

Surely that isn’t sustainable for you or beehaw? On the one hand, please take care to look after your own best interests. We really appreciate your work, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of your well-being.

On the other hand, if the project is based on full time volunteer work by people who can’t afford to volunteer full time over the long term, surely that is a major risk to the long term viability of the instance?

Still very low, but fantastic that they are on the up. Hope it continues
