At least 700 birds, all open-billed storks (Anastomus Oscitans), were killed when branches of a banyan tree crashed apparently due to the increasing weight of nests, in a village in Karbi Anglong district of Assam on Monday morning.
Classic case of habitat management out of control, excesses in anything are seldom reasonable.

It's a beautiful sunny day and today I might touch wood with a chainsaw.

Terrential rain and a bit of wind and down they come out bush!No bull.I have lived this experience.

This was a trip I was on with my 4wd club to a seculed spot on the southern outskirts of Sydney,Limeburner's Flats.We went at night in the rain and it was pitch black follow the truck in front of you slipping and sliding as you went,but we made it to our camping spot with out incident.

Set up camp and tried to get to sleep and all you could hear apart for the rain was eary sound of a screaming tree as it fell over this went on all night.This certainly made happy we were camped in an open field.
