dead goose on nest | 27 June 2023 |
This is a sad story of love and endurance. On Prins Heinrichsøya is on the most easterly nest a female laying dead. Because of the outbreaks of avian influenza all over the world, we want to sample this bird. Maarten climbs to the nest, with sampling swabs and tubes and protective mask and handkerchiefs. He samples both the oesophagus and the cloaca, front and buttock of the goose. | |
