Free PDF download: #Birding in #Greece – Travel Guide to #birdwatching sites (2014, 2nd edition) by Chris Vlachos et al. The text is excellent, yet, too few maps. Still, I enjoy using it. Find the #Nestos Gorge & Delta at pg. 36:

Front cover of 'What we leave behind' (Stanisław Łubieński ISBN: 9781529418859) - a mix of rubbish and an old battered pair of binoculars.
Quote from book: Sky lanterns are illegal in much of Germany. 3 women released a sky lantern on New Year's Eve which fell onto the Ape House at a zoo, starting a fire that "killed 30 animals, including fruit bats, birds, chimpanzees, marmosets, 5 orang-utans and Europe's oldest captive Western lowland gorilla."
Screengrab of case outcome (https://www.rtl.de/cms/brand-in-krefelder-affenhaus-angeklagte-akzeptieren-strafe-4668015.html) - the 3 women received fines - two of 9,000 euros, one of 1,800 euros.
This wk's #train reading: a #BirdingBook (of sorts - about rubbish found whilst birding).
Really detailed research, eg. today's chapter on sky lanterns. Has story of the Krefeld zoo fire which passed me by in 2020. (missing word from quote-pic? 'gorilla'.)
Sent me searching for case outcome..

Anoraks to Zitting Cisticola (Sean Dooley) Terminology quoted in the skeet: -Captain Twitchpants: alpha male, bristling w. testosterone, typically come to birding later in life and hell-bent on making up for lost time -Majizzmo: an affliction whereby a belief in their own ability to i.d. a bird solely on jizz leads to a major cock up. -Gear Freaks: freaks that love their gear. -Asbirders Syndrome: aka birdy-nerdy syndrome. -Premature illuminator: turns on their torch too early. -Dipfearia: FOMO. -Listeria: a pathological obsession where the list matters more than the bird. -Uncle Trevors: the laff-at-their-own-jokes type who lives for the chance to talk loudly. - and Jammie Pete: A birder who never dips out- ever.
ISBN 978-1-74175-272-4

Cover of 'The reluctant twitcher: a quite truthful account of my big birding year', Richard Pope, 2009
Back cover. "Games are most fun when you restrict them with rules..". "Some men chase golf balls.. some.. chase birds.." (Yup, my view on listers/ listing - some are only in it for the game.)
Y/day's (re-)reading on the #train: a #BirdingBook a non-lister like me can finish (set in Ontario so no huge connection to spp., people).
Can enjoy reminders of their mindsets, e.g a Point Pelee spring and lister frustrations with "Path Nazis", reminding birders they must keep to marked paths 🤔
