When I was a little girl… My father was posted in Amritsar, Punjab, India. And there were lots of Tera in the officer’s mess. They wee full of Vultures… I used to be so terrified of going out. Had never seen such huge birds… Now I crave to see one but hardly get to see any. Last I saw one was 8 yrs ago… 😞

Niet alleen (grote) lijsters eten slakken, deze brutale kraai haalt de
waterslakken uit mijn vijver! Ook het kikkerdril beviel hem goed! En
geen konijn of krokodil kon hem verjagen…
Hartelijke groet,
