Craig Birding: June 2014
http://craigbirding.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Friday, 27 June 2014. Listen to the Sedgies. For a long time I've wanted to post about this, and now with a little time, I hope I can enthuse you all to really listen to songs and decipher what's really going on. Sedge Warbler - Acrocephalus. Sedge warbler are a pretty common bird in Northern Europe, often heard and seldom seen well these beautiful sub-Saharan migrants certainly have a song which packs a punch, but what makes their songs so interesting? So, my advice, rather than spend hours inside this ...

Craig Birding: August 2013
http://craigbirding.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Friday, 30 August 2013. 2013 has been a relatively slow year, ringing wise. I've ringed little of interest and therefore haven't updated the blog. Now however, I'm back in Gedser, Denmark; where I have now work for a few weeks. I'll return home shortly and attend University (Nottingham Trent) in late September. We've ringed a couple of thousand birds throughout August. Mainly warblers, Reed, Marsh,Willow,Wood, Garden and Icterine. Also Blackcap, White and Lesser Whitethroat also help make the bulk. Birde...

Craig Birding: June 2012
http://craigbirding.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, 16 June 2012. We're still quite busy with all things survey at the moment as all the spring work comes into it's crucial final stages. Ortolan Buntings are feeding youngsters, which is great news, we ringed a brood of 4 chicks last week and they luckily fledged hours before the farmer cut his grass. I was horrified to wake up to see the farmer had mown in the night. See below the open-topped nest remains. Ortolan Bunting after mowing, a sorry scene. Marsh Harrier Circus aeruginosus. We also fin...

Craig Birding: February 2012
http://craigbirding.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Monday, 27 February 2012. As the week draws to a close I reflect on what has been 'one to remember'. The title of this post refers to not only the amount of new birds caught this week but also a coming of age. My 21st Birthday was mid-week with a party at the weekend therefore reasonably little effort was put in to ringing. Various outings with Heather and one with Ciaran yielded a mixed bag species wise. 1st - 8 Blue Tit. 2nd - 3 Herring Gull. 3rd - 2 Black-Headed Gull. Posted by Heather Naomi McGinty.

Saturday, 21 May 2011. Up to present I have not shown photographs of birds in the hand on this blog. This is simply because they are never natural poses. You can see below why I decided to break this rule. Unusual but Normal Tail Moult for Wryneck. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Michael Foley: Natural History ©. Bird and Wildlife Illustration.

Ken's Photo Blog: October 2010
http://papagano-ken.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 26 October 2010. A Twite in the hand is worth ten on the beach,. This was taken in our early days of trying to catch these birds. We soon realised that although the flock may be one hundred strong you take what is under the net as adults are much more wary. Although not as sharp as above a much more natural pose. Less white on the wings indicates an older bird than the one above. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Michael Foley: Natural History ©. Bird and Wildlife Illustration. Some of our Boxes.
