A new one for me, I haven’t the likes before. If confirmed, a rare visitor apparently. Maybe very rare to these hedgerows.

It stopped on a branch, I stopped on my bike. We looked across at each other for a moment.

I’m going to cycle out there again today, see if I can get another sighting and hopefully a photo for confirmation.

For now, it’s the closest match I can find.

The dad of the house sparrow family nesting above my living room under the attic is always very attentive and watches me when I'm on the balcony. As soon as I'm inside he comes down for some food or water 😅

A very "grey" photo. Visible is the corner of a grey roof gutter at the edge of my roof. The male sparrow with his light grey chest and neck, black eyes and beak sits on the edge of it eyeing me. Barely visible is the brown at the back his his head and his back. The background is filled completely with the dark grey roof tiles of the neighbour house.

A lunch break on the backroads to Siem Reap

They say in the old Norse book of wisdom and cultural heritage, the Hávamál:

“He craves for water, who comes for refreshment, drying and friendly bidding, marks of good will, fair fame if ‘tis won, and welcome once and again.

“He hath need of his wits who wanders wide, aught simple will serve at home; but a gazing-stock is the fool who sits mid the wise, and nothing knows.”

Wisdom is to enjoy and remember delicious food, good friends and a restful view. Knowledge is know how to get there and enjoy it.

This harmonies quite well with the Khmer view of food, friendship and enjoying a chat. And of course enjoy new sights and a break from everyday with a nice view while travelling. And bird viewing, come to that.

Enjoy the greener alternative

This backroad was consider a shortcut back when we were travelling there, bypassing the crossroads and queues in Sisophon in Western Cambodia. During the pandemic, a huge upgrade was done to the highway between Battambang and Sisiphon and National Road 5 and NR 6. It reduces the travelling time between Siem Reap and Battambang, and between the border city Poipet and Battambang.

The reason to take this backroad even with a new road, is the splendid landscape, the lesser amount of tourists and other travellers, and good food and drinks with a view to peaceful, yet lively, wetland area.

It is so nice to have choices when travelling.

This place is near the Kro Bao Village Peam Pagoda for those who want to see a typical village pagoda in the countryside outside Siem Reap.

Photo shows a small lake under a road bridge coming in from the left side. To the right is a an open yellow and green wetland area. The wetland stretches into the background, where it is bordered by a distant belt of low trees and bushes. Behind there are some roofs of houses, and a larger pagoda structure. Over it, being the other half of the photo, is a blue sky only broken by some light, white skies. It is a sunny, peaceful day under "endless" blue skies. This sky is mirrored in the lake in the lower part of the photo. There is an open wooden boat to the right just to the left of the road bridge foundations. In the middle of the lake in the lower part is a small area of grass and bushes.

Un estornino, posa sobre un cable de espaldas, con la cabeza girada pero mirando a la cámara. Su plumaje es negro de base con pintas claras por toda la panza. El pico es alargado, fino y de color amarillo hacia la punta.

Ce weekend, les amoureux de la biodiversité étaient invités par la #lpo à effectuer un comptage des oiseaux des jardins. Ces actions collectives de recensement sont indispensables au suivi de la biodiversité et à notre prise de conscience écologique.

Malgré ma motivation, les vents violents qui se sont abattus sur l'ouest de la France ont découragé les oiseaux les plus téméraires.

Le climat se dérègle, les annonces de catastrophes s'enchainent, les oiseaux disparaissent ... Et tout le monde s'en fiche.

Réagissons avant qu'il ne soit trop tard.

Did you know that Mallard ducks are part of the dabbling ducks? These ducks are characterized by the way they forage. Dabbling ducks mainly feed at the waters surface and rarely dive to find food. They mainly feed on floating plants in freshwater bodies and estuaries. Dabbling ducks are also better at walking on land, because their legs are in the center of their bodies.

Do you know other cool facts about Mallard ducks? Let me know in the comments!

Die Wasseramsel ist stark an Gewässer gebunden und der einzige einheimische Singvogel, der tauchen und schwimmen kann. Ihr überwiegend braunes Gefieder ist sehr dicht und somit perfekt an die aquatische Lebensweise angepasst. Sie brütet vor allem in Mittel- bis Süddeutschland in der Nähe von geröllreichen, schnell fließenden Bächen und Flüssen im Wald- und Bergland. Quelle: NABU

Als Kulturfolger besiedelt der Turmfalke strukturreiche Landschaften in der Nähe des Menschen. Zum Brüten nutzt er oft alte Bäume, Kirchtürme oder alte Gebäude. Für die Mäusejagd benötigt er Felder und Äcker. Quelle: NABU
