Birds of Maglor’s Gap and Lothlann

This completes my series on birds of the Fëanorian realms pre Amon Ereb!!

March of Maedhros, Himlad, Thargelion, Estolad

Flora, Fauna, geography and environment of Arda Masterlist

Maglor’s Gap was the widest break in the mountains and cliffs dividing Beleriand and the lands to the north. It lay between the blue mountains to the east and the March of Maedhros to the west. Lothlann was a wide expanse of plains to the north of the Gap. The rivers greater and little Gelion ran around the western and eastern borders.

Steppes and plains: Daurian, see see partridge, yellowhammer, black grouse, grey necked bunting, great rosefinch, imperial Eagle, steppe eagle, golden eagle, Mongolian ground jay (rare), greater short toed lark, upland buzzard, Pallas’s sandgrouse, laughing dove, great bustard, bush quail, gray, black and painted francolin, snowcock, little bustard, merlin, cheer pheasant, crested lark, painted sandgrouse, scrubfowl, common quail, brown accentor, ring necked pheasant, grey partridge, black bellied sandgrouse, common buzzard, black kite

By greater and little Gelion (stream/river): black faced bunting, Pallas’s bunting, pin tailed sandgrouse (summer only), white throated dipper, brown dipper, common kingfisher, hobby, swamphen

World building notes

--Laughing doves appear on the sigil of some of Maglor’s host who are particularly skilled in the use of song in battle

-Many of Maglor’s cavalry hunt or fight with birds including golden, steppe and imperial eagles.

-Game birds of the prairie steppes such as partridge make up much of the meat that the cavalry and scouts eat, along with hares.

-Most of the cavalry have horse hair plumes but some of the lieutenants and generals have feathers from pheasants or eagles.

-Emu are actually domesticated in some parts of the world and I love the idea of them being kept in both the Gap and Himlad as well as by peoples East of the Ered Luin. They have a huge variety of uses including leather, oil, eggs and meat. And the chicks are very cute 💙

-I am a huge proponent of prehistoric and extinct animals living throughout Arda, as per Tolkien’s comments about “all creatures which walk or have walked the earth”. I really like the idea of small brush moas living near the mountain borders of the Gap

Birdwatching Adventure at Manyane Lodge - A Feast for Feathered Friends

Welcome to Manyane Lodge in Pilanesberg Nature Reserve, where our goal was simple: treat the grandchildren and introduce them to the beauty of birdwatching. Armed with a bag of garden bird seed and a bit of papaya, we turned our stay into a haven for some of South Africa's most stunning bird species.

On day one, the first visitors to the feast were the guineafowl and Natal francolin. Soon after, the Grey Lourie (Go-away bird) arrived, drawn to the fruit, followed by the striking crested barbet. The "bospatrys" made its territorial presence known, chasing away larger birds, but it couldn’t stop the Cape starling or the vibrant Crimson-Breasted Shrike from joining the gathering.

The star of the show? The Southern yellow-billed hornbill, whose antics included an amusing battle with its reflection in the windscreen. Over three days, I photographed an incredible variety of species—70 in total!

Captured with my Akaso wide-angle camera to bring you up close to the birds' world, this video is pure and unscripted, letting the birds take center stage as they feast and interact.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy this peaceful birdwatching experience. Let me know in the comments which bird was your favorite!
