wildlifeaylmerton: June 2009

http://wildlifeaylmerton.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Saturday, June 27, 2009. Along with Rob and Nigel, I took a trip out to Buxto Heath last night for a spot of mothing. Unfortunately the generator packed up at prior to the midnight hour so we had to come to a premature halt to the proceedings. We did manage a handful of species prior to this though which included some new ones for me. Another new sighting for me was my first ever Glow worm. Tuesday, June 02, 2009. Some raptors, at last!

http://wildlifeaylmerton.blogspot.com/2009/09/sbo-tick.html

Friday, September 11, 2009. Lunch time saw me at Filby Broad, I was hoping to may be jam inon an Osprey, it was very warm with cotton thick cumulus cloud, ideal for raptors. No fish-eater here though, but scanning behind the broad produced 2 Common Buzzard, Hobby, Marsh Harrier and a distant, presumably Red, Kite. Were had as it fed within the canopy of a sycamore. At last! A rare warbler here that I really should have seen here a long time ago! You aint seen me, roight? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

wildlifeaylmerton: July 2009

http://wildlifeaylmerton.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, July 26, 2009. Ran the trap last night, and along with the usual suspects including Dunbar, Ruby Tiger and Scalloped Oak was my first ever Oak Eggar. An absolute cracker of a beast! I also had time to have a look at the micro's today, which made a change! A look at the weeds around the pond found several skipper butterflies, with Essex Skippers. Out numbering Small Skippers. Saturday, July 25, 2009. Although someone did claim a distant Redshank to be the bird as well! Saturday, July 11, 2009.

wildlifeaylmerton: Reconnaissance

http://wildlifeaylmerton.blogspot.com/2009/09/reconnaissance.html

Friday, September 18, 2009. After work I hit the coast line as close to our new house as is practicable, which took me to Trimingham. A look in the wood here held single Willow warbler along with Great Tit 2, Blue Tit, and Long-tailed Tit 2. Some great habitat here and one to keep an eye on. Walking along the cliff top had single Wheatear and best of all three fairly confiding Snow Bunting. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Parish Year List 2008-MOTHS. Parish Year List 2008-BIRDS.

http://wildlifeaylmerton.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Giving good views from the kitchen window in the fog this morning. Sunday, February 15, 2009. With the weekend spent doing home improvements, the welcoming news of confirmation of a trip to Poland in April resulted in a more renewed effort to get stuff done before spring! At home we had a return of Siskin on the feeders (the first for a couple of years) along with Goldfinch and of course our Barn Owl. Thursday, February 12, 2009. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. Was it or wasn't it?
