The latest edition of Birds in the News #93 features an award winning photo of a beautiful Rufous-tailed Jacamar.

There’s also news of the owner of a trout hatchery who was fined a hefty sum for shooting several hundred protected birds that were robbing his fish.

And there is other news about birds from many parts of the world.

The latest edition of Birds in the News (#92) has been posted over at Living the Scientific Life. It features a beautiful photo of a Snowy Owl.

This edition is a special – it’s a Hedwig the Owl edition. For the three or four people in the world who may be as ignorant as me on these matters, this is a reference to Harry Potter. I’m not into HP – in fact, I’m probably one of less than a dozen or so people left who do not like the HP books (yes – I did make the effort to read the first in the series – and I thought it quite second rate as a work of literature).

More importantly, this edition of Birds in the News has a link to a worrying article about the bird life around Chernobyl. All is not well with the birds living in or near the disaster zone. Surprise, surprise.
