Andy Kiz - Birding in the LDV. Sunday, 22 December 2013. Christmas time, Ivory Gull quite fine! Finally managed to get over to Patrington Haven this morning to see the Juvenile Ivory Gull, unfortunately I was about 5 minutes to late to see it feeding close and the bird was sat out on the rocks when I arrived. Managed to get 'good enough' views in the scope in the brief moments the wind wasn't blowing force 10 in my face! Green-Winged Teal and Common Teal. 23 December 2013 at 01:03. Het is altijd fijn om ...

Andy Kiz - Birding in the LDV: January 2013
http://andykizbirding.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Andy Kiz - Birding in the LDV. Sunday, 27 January 2013. A grand day out! Decided on some more local birding today, I started out at 9am at Duffield Carrs, Andy Walker. Arrived just as I was about to set off to the GS hide. It was blowing a gale and had come over very dark and the heavy rain followed. As we arrived in the hide we noted a huge number of swans on the water, mostly whooper, I counted 83 Whooper Swans, 41 Mute Swans and interestingly 1 Black Swan (not a species i've seen before). I moved on t...

Andy Kiz - Birding in the LDV. Sunday, 13 October 2013. Spurn Point 12.10.13. With a spare day I decided a days birding was in order, I visited North Cave wetlands early in the morning looking for the Little Ringed Plover which has been present for some time, unfortunately it had cleared out ahead of the cold and wet weather! I did enjoy watching a stoat causing havoc with the wildfowl whilst chasing a hare around near the waters edge! Goldcrest - you can see where the name comes from! Walking further do...

Andy Kiz - Birding in the LDV: Horwich - Bolton : Glossy Ibis
http://andykizbirding.blogspot.com/2013/10/horwich-bolton-glossy-ibis.html
Andy Kiz - Birding in the LDV. Tuesday, 8 October 2013. Horwich - Bolton : Glossy Ibis. These 4 Glossy Ibis were at Horwich in Bolton feeding in an upland field. Far from their home in Africa these wading birds usually associated with marshland seemed oblivious to us standing the other side of the wall and got closer and closer. Fantastic views and a lifer for me! A few photos below. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Spurn Point 12.10.13. Horwich - Bolton : Glossy Ibis.
