Ollie's Birding Blog: May 2014
http://olliesbirding.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 14 May 2014. The rest of the trip we focussed our birding around the Yotvata and KM20 areas, and picked up plenty of good birds, and a noticeable increase of migrants:. Undoubtedly my best find of the trip was this Black Bush robin, initially found early morning at the Arabian warbler site near Yotvata where a few people got on to it. The Black Bush Robin, or quite possibly another, then popped up 20km further south that afternoon, and again 2km further south 15 minutes later! Hi I am employed...

Ollie's Birding Blog: October 2012
http://olliesbirding.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, 14 October 2012. A few photo's I had of an acro at Whitby yesterday. It fed almost exclusively in long grass and low bramble, only occasionally popping up into low branches of elderberries. I watched it on and off for nearly two hours, and still not really sure what species it is. It didn't have a tail, which didn't really help. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Pacific Golden Plover « Trevor On Tour
https://trevorontour.me/2015/07/01/pacific-golden-plover
8230;an eclectic mix of travel photos with a birding theme, home and away. Pacific Golden Plover, Breydon Water, Norfolk. Popped over to Breydon Water yesterday evening to catch up with the Pacific Golden Plover, which has been hanging about there for the past few days. The tide was still out and the setting sun was directly in our eyes but we did eventually manage acceptable views, helped by the fact that there was only the PGP and a pair of Oystercatcher on the entire stretch of saltings!

A life at the shoreline: The Cliffs of Moher - photography and light
http://www.alifeattheshoreline.com/2015/04/the-cliffs-of-moher-photography-and.html
My ongoing story of life as a Surfer and wildlife enthusiast on the coast of County Clare in the west side of Ireland and sometimes beyond. April 6, 2015. The Cliffs of Moher - photography and light. Possibly one of the most aw- inspiring chill out areas in the world to spend a magical evening taking photos. People come to see the ciffs from all over the world. Being local I get to see it at its best. April 11, 2015 at 11:46 PM. April 17, 2015 at 7:15 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 2 hours in Tac.

Ollie's Birding Blog: March 2014
http://olliesbirding.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, 8 March 2014. The Drakensberg to Cape Town. The final part of the trip was much less about birding and game watching, and more a bit of a road trip and city break. Given the biodiversity and wealth of wildlife in South Africa, it was impossible to get away from great birds, and I couldn't resist the odd stop here and there. Chorister robin chat being skulky. Lemon dove in very dim light under the thick canopy. Golden Gate NP is named after the glorious golden colour of the rock outcrops. Cape B...

Monday, 28 July 2014. Sweet Raptors and a second chance tern in Teesside. With nothing much around at the moment within striking distance I had been thinking of trying for the Honey Buzzards. At Wykeham again this last weekend however with a White Rumped Sandpiper. Showing well at Cresswell Ponds in Northumberland and another White Winged Black Tern. Had gone although the Tern. Haven’t been showing very well this year, it was very slow, a couple of Kestrels. And a few common Buzzards. I hung around for a...

cliftonbirding: Showy Sab's and the disappearing acts
http://cliftonbirding.blogspot.com/2015/08/showy-sabs-and-disappearing-acts.html
Sunday, 9 August 2015. Showy Sab's and the disappearing acts. Out with Mark today and we went over to Pennington Flash in Greater Manchester where an adult Sabine’s Gull. Had been found in the week and had been showing well, it was still present this morning and still showing well, a great bird to try out my new camera gear with. After a good session with it we moved on and up to Preston where a first summer Ring Billed Gull. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). In search of Storks. Spotting a rare Crake.

cliftonbirding: Breeding Bee-eaters
http://cliftonbirding.blogspot.com/2015/08/breeding-bee-eaters.html
Tuesday, 4 August 2015. At the back end of last week news was released of some Bee-eaters. Breeding in a quarry at Brampton near Carlisle, two pairs plus a couple of helpers apparently, I was out with Pete Watson on Sunday and we thought we’d go have a look, the weather forecast wasn’t brilliant but at least it wasn’t raining when we got there, just one nest site on view and at least one bird showed regularly if a little distantly throughout the morning, also a Wheatear. Was viewable from Lower Hide.
