Gary Jenkins Bird Photography: Corncrake, Iona, Inner Hebrides 24th May 2011
http://garyjenkinsbirdphotography.blogspot.com/2011/05/corncrake-iona-inner-hebrides-24th-may.html
Gary Jenkins Bird Photography. Tuesday, 24 May 2011. Corncrake, Iona, Inner Hebrides 24th May 2011. I arrived on Mull 2 days ago, and hoped to travel over to Iona yesterday, but again, as happened two year back, the storms had arrived and cancelled all the ferries to and from the island. In the car at Fidden was ruined by the car rocking due to the high winds, rain sounding like golf balls on the roof and the general uncomfortable car seat I was trying to sleep on! We then walked up the Prayer House, as ...

Ashley's Birding Blog: February 2009
http://the3birdersdiary.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, 8 February 2009. Fawley and Keyhaven Marshes. I can't believe I dipped it again. The Red-crested Pochard was reported 30 minutes before I got there, yet no sign on arrival at Badminston Gravel Pit, neither on any of the nearby lakes. I was about to leave the area to move onto Keyhaven, when I had a hunch to go back to Badminston and view the pig field from a different angle. And what a relief! There sat in a big puddle amongst Gulls was the Red-crested Pochard, yaaayyyy, about bloody time! Anothe...

http://the3birdersdiary.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 September 2008. Mainland Shetland; Day 4. Eventually got close enough for some decent shots (c) Ashley Howe. Over towards the farm there was a Grey Wagtail, more Pied Fly, Blackcapetc. And a Barred Warbler which showed very well feeding in the sycamores. Although always looking up at this Barred Warbler, it remained out in the open for ages feeding, some other shots show it, flicking off the Aphids (c) Ashley Howe. Monday, 29 September 2008. Mainland Shetland; Day 3. Sunday, 28 September 2008.

Ashley's Birding Blog: Fawley, Pennington & Hurst
http://the3birdersdiary.blogspot.com/2009/02/fawley-pennington-hurst.html
Thursday, 5 February 2009. Fawley, Pennington and Hurst. What a fine start to the day today was, no sign of the Red-crested Pochard at Badminston Gravel Pits, though I think we had sussed out the right pit. Whipping out the local map we visited a few potential site that the bird could have gone to without any success, with nothing else worth mentioning. Looks like we got it just in time in Hants before it headed East with the Brents to West Wittering © Ashley Howe. Little Egret by the car (c) Ashley Howe.

Gary Jenkins Bird Photography: April 2011
http://garyjenkinsbirdphotography.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Gary Jenkins Bird Photography. Wednesday, 27 April 2011. Dotterel, Fair Snape Fell, Bowland, Lancashire 25 April 2011. Having been at work Sunday, when the birds were broadcast, I had to wait 'til the next morning to be able to get the chance to view them. Me good mate Ian Walker had been up that day with his wife Michelle and viewed the birds and was prepared to go up again early on Bank Holiday Monday morning to photograph them, before we went to Turf Moor to watch the Clarets. Sunday, 17 April 2011.

Gary Jenkins Bird Photography: Sandhill Crane, Boyton Marsh, Suffolk, 4th October 2011
http://garyjenkinsbirdphotography.blogspot.com/2011/10/sandhill-crane-boyton-marsh-suffolk-4th.html
Gary Jenkins Bird Photography. Tuesday, 4 October 2011. Sandhill Crane, Boyton Marsh, Suffolk, 4th October 2011. I realised having arrived on site, that me food id prepared earlier, had been left in the car back in Burnley. D'oh! We set off in the direction of the marsh, hoping it had roosted in the same area as it had done the previous night. Fortunately Jeff had his torch with him, so we headed south east from the village hall, along Mill Lane in the direction of the marsh. I realised having arrived on...

Gary Jenkins Bird Photography: October 2010
http://garyjenkinsbirdphotography.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Gary Jenkins Bird Photography. Saturday, 30 October 2010. Waxwing, Barrow, Lancashire, 30th October 2010. An invasion of 88 Waxwings at nearby Barrow had Ian and Michelle Walker and myself heading for what we hoped would be excellant photographic opportunities. We weren't disappointed as the flock were gorging themselves on Rowan berries, much to the delight of the watching birders. There was a constant noise of waxwings and camera shutters going off! We were all happy with our images.
