Thursday, 26 July 2012. I've been to the Farnes twice this year now and what a great place it is! I first went in June when breeding was well underway and there was loads of activity on Inner Farne!

Here is a selection of photos from both trips, don't forget to click on them for a bigger view! Seak to use this photo. Some more wide stuff. Saturday w...

Dan's Wildlife Blog: Harvey!
http://dansbirdingblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/harvey.html
Sunday, 12 August 2012. Over the last few nights myself and Ben have been filling the August photography lull with a harvest mouse named Harvey! I should point out that it's captive bread so nothing was taken from the wild! Apart from the corn.). First night was overcast so we got some standard shots of him;. The second night we arrived rather late at the field so played around with underexposing some sunset stuff;. And on the thrid night we went for an autumn berry theme. After my trip to Cuba though.

http://dansbirdingblog.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 25 April 2012. This weekend just passed I spent in County Durham. The main target really was to watch a black grouse lek which was simply amazing. Alarms set for 3:45 and arriving, windows down, before first light we were welcomed with noises not dissimilar to an alien attack! Snipe, curlew and lapwing all calling right near the car. Here are some dodgy black grouse records when we bumped into them during the day;. OK, that's enough snipe! I leave you with the supporting cast. After a long day...

http://dansbirdingblog.blogspot.com/2012/09/tody-tastic.html
Sunday, 23 September 2012. In August I spent 15 days on the wonderful island of Cuba! This wasn't a wildlife trip but I made the most of things by getting up early most mornings whilst in Varadero and wandering around the mangroves near out hotel. I also spent two days in Zapata. In total I saw around 100 species of bird with 90 of them being new. Most of the new birds were exciting but one bird in particular stole the show, the Cuban Tody! Well done you,stunning bird,fantastic captures. Subscribe to: Po...
