Butterflies and Moths of Jamaica
I’ve raved about the birds (and beaches) of Jamaica, even highlighting the island’s lovely lizards, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention how much I liked its leps. Jamaica offers predictably potent butterfly watching. For example, the island is swell for swallowtail butterflies, with a number of endemics including the largest swallowtail in the Americas, the Jamaican Giant Swallowtail Butterfly (Pterourus homerus). Remarkable sulphurs and skippers flitted everywhere I went, as did hordes of heliconians. The Zebra Heliconian (Heliconius charitonius), for example, could be seen flashing everywhere.

More truly excellent news from the researchers working on saving the Madagascar Pochard - this time on the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust Pochard Team blog. The first line of the WWTPT’s post runs: “A short text from Owen this evening says it all: “100% hatch just complete. Massive grins.” Congratulations to all involved!

Pigeons the Target but Grackles Killed
Why does it seem that one is always reading about Avitrol killing birds other than those intended? The latest incident, in Fort Lee, New Jersey, resulted in the deaths of 30 Common Grackles. Of course, charges won’t be filed for violating the law, because charges are never filed, but it’s nice to dream, isnR

Search for the Slender-billed Curlew (Part One)
Back in August I was lucky enough to get an invite to the British Birdwatching Fair courtesy of BirdLife International’s Jim Lawrence. While I was there I stopped by a stand manned by Tim Cleeves and the RSPB’s Graeme Buchanan, which was highlighting a major ongoing search for the Slender-billed Curlew Numenius tenuirostris. Yet another beleaguered shorebird (eg the Spoon-billed Sandpiper Eur

Charlie was too busy organizing the announcement of the new 10,000 Birds Conservation Club to eve
