Monday, 13 February 2012. Winter Ducks and Geese. One of the Yellowhammer flock (taken through glass! Further along the Solway, at Carsethorn, we had fantastic views of a Peregrine patrolling the shore and putting up the large flocks of Lapwing, Dunlin and Oystercatchers. Yet again geese were seen at great distance on the mud banks of the Solway. A flotilla of Scaup. Turnstones, Redshank and Black-headed Gulls. On our way home we crossed the moorland to the east of Stranraer in beautiful sunlight. Ve...

Monday, 23 January 2012. Pagham Harbour and Selsey Bill. Yesterday saw Gen, Paul and ourselves up before the crack of dawn to travel down to West Sussex for a birding adventure with Beds Birds. John, our leader for the day, had prepared for the trip meticulously including going down a day ahead and scouting out the best viewpoints. We really enjoyed the walk despite the lack of ducks. There were 3 Grey Heron, standing in meadows, looking a bit fed up and two very vocal Little Egret flew over. Thi...After...

Tuesday, 8 March 2011. The North-east wind doth blow. On Saturday Gen and ourselves went to Lynford Arboretum to try to catch up with the elusive Hawfinch. Sadly we were not there when the single Hawfinch was sighted later in the day but we did get good views of Treecreeper, Nuthatch, Coal Tit and heard a Tawny Owl calling. While we watched the Snow Buntings, with a very chill wind in our faces, this Sanderling dropped by to see what was going on. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There was an error in this ga...

Saturday, 14 July 2012. Overdue catch-up - our Birds of Lesvos! That gives us a good reason to return. Hopefully before it is ruined by massive wind farms (see Steve Dudley's blog). Here are just a few of our photo's. Apart from the wonderful buntings we had sightings of most of the birds that Lesvos is so famous for, including Kruper's Nuthatch feeding young at the nest. Another treat was a very obliging Ruppell's Warbler. And last but not least. a very elegant Spur-winged Lapwing! View from the Cape.

Friday, 13 May 2011. Yesterday we, like many others went to see the Spotted Sandpiper at Caldecotte Lake. When we arrived it had gone for a wander but Malcolm spotted it flying back into the bank nearby. We watched as it made it's way past us to the slipway where it dodged about for some time before moving along to the landing stage. What an elegant little bird it was!
