Of course this news made headlines around the globe yesterday : Egyptian authorities in Qena governorate arrest a duck with a spying device !!
Updated : The stork is going to be released tomorrow and it will return back to its home in Hungary.
Well it turns out that it is not a duck but rather a stork and it is not a spying device but rather a satellite tracking device. The poor stork is still in the custody of Egyptian authorities.
That bird , that stork got a profile online by the way and here is its track as well.
The Nature Conservation Egypt issued an important statement about that spy stork in Arabic and English. Please spread it.
I am afraid ignorance made us the joke of the word as usual and as expected. Unfortunately, the ministry of education as the ministries of agriculture and environmental affairs in Egypt have not explained to the people what the annual bird migration is or how Egypt is a hot zone for birds’ migration or even how researchers and universities from around the globe put tracking devices on the birds to follow them.
