Local Birding for Local People: Never, ever, write off July
http://localbirdingforlocalpeople.blogspot.com/2013/07/never-ever-write-off-july.html
Local Birding for Local People. Sunday, 28 July 2013. Never, ever, write off July. The main reason for not doing much blogging this year was because, year-on-year, I found that I was ending up typing the same stuff that I did the year before, and the year before that, etc. But looking through my notes over the last few weeks, there's quite a bit to write about actually.

Local Birding for Local People: April 2013
http://localbirdingforlocalpeople.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Local Birding for Local People. Monday, 22 April 2013. I've been meaning to type out some carefully-written prowse for about the last week, but just not had chance until now. So what's happened over the last few weekends? And where better to perform this exchange than at the causeway of Blithfield Reservoir? Er, not really. Also at nearby Blithbury, a Whooper Swan in amongst the Mutes. And with the Sandwich Tern, a classic case of a seasonal crossover. And onto the weekend just gone. A gloriously sun...

Local Birding for Local People: December 2012
http://localbirdingforlocalpeople.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Local Birding for Local People. Sunday, 30 December 2012. The end of 2012. Well, christmas festivities are done and dusted once again. The following few days mainly involved a piece of the dreaded DIY. No getting away from this one, as the bannister fell off the staircase wall, suppose I'll have to stop sliding down it from now on. The fix involved drilling new holes into the wall and new screws to attach the bannister back on, whilst being ingeniously propped up by lots of books on the stairs! No, I don...

Local Birding for Local People: Cape May, The Sequel. Part 1
http://localbirdingforlocalpeople.blogspot.com/2013/05/cape-may-sequel-part-1.html
Local Birding for Local People. Monday, 20 May 2013. Cape May, The Sequel. Part 1. A year ago, I undertook a birding trip to Cape May in New Jersey. Despite it being a really enjoyable trip, visiting at the end of May it felt like it was a little bit too late for the spring passage. It had gone past it's peak. Following that trip, fast forward a few months to October, and a few evening drinks in the Scillonian Club with that Black Redstart fancier, Ochruros. Let's go to Cape May next spring! Following a ...

Local Birding for Local People: November 2012
http://localbirdingforlocalpeople.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Local Birding for Local People. Wednesday, 28 November 2012. November in a Nutshell. Rumours of my demise are premature! So what's gone on then? Well, a bit of post-Scilly blues, how on earth does this blog top that? But mainly it's been the state of the laptop that I bought earlier this year. A couple of days after finishing the Scillies blogging it completely packed in, probably had enough of me writing nonsense and piffle. It should've been fixed and returned last week, but when turning up at PC World:.

Local Birding for Local People: August 2012
http://localbirdingforlocalpeople.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Local Birding for Local People. Thursday, 30 August 2012. What's that in the sky? I've avoided non-birding posts for a while, but time to make an exception. Mainly because of this object in the sky. Taken from Powell Towers this evening. Next time you see it, give it a wink for Neil Armstrong! The moon affects so much of the nature on our planet, whether it's the state of the tides or the navigation of bird migration. Monday, 27 August 2012. Which soared over the Duckley Plantation then headed north-west...

Local Birding for Local People: June 2013
http://localbirdingforlocalpeople.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Local Birding for Local People. Tuesday, 18 June 2013. Catch up time, and an aboomination! I really had intended to do a bit more blogging over the last month or so. But for a variety of reasons, such as a change of car, change of phone, shaking off a cold, I haven't had the time or inclincation. Finished the tale off in fine style. Particularly that Waterthrush, yabbadabbadoo. But should anyone be interesting in going and how do it, just get in touch. The majority of the 19th was a struggle to see anyth...
