All this because...: October 2011

We don't remember the days. just the moments. Thursday, 27 October 2011. One Day Like This. And by the time we arrived, at around 7.30 am, birds were gathering in their thousands. Later, closer views of the birds were possible from hides overlooking the lagoons. Definitely a day to remember. Thursday, 13 October 2011. I spent 15th to 25th September back in Portugal , based again at the wonderful Lagoon Cottage, enjoying ten days of sunshine (temperatures often around 30. And this Plain Tiger at Vilamoura.

We don't remember the days. just the moments. Wednesday, 30 March 2011. The Fellowship of the [Birding] Ring. Last weekend’s birding trip -. A long weekend in mid Wales with friends from the Bedford RSPB Local Group - included a couple of what I can only describe as ‘Tolkien’ moments. The Ravens in particular wouldn’t have looked out of place in any supernatural tale – dark forms against a background of knarled, misshapen branches…. The drama was non-stop and there was so much going on you hardly knew wh...

We don't remember the days. just the moments. Thursday, 30 August 2012. This particular individual didn't look quite as 'glossy' as birds we've seen in Portugal but it was a juvenile, and the light wasn't good at all - I'm sure a little bit of sunshine would've made all the difference. Having said that, there were moments when we did catch a glimpse of that stunning iridescence. And anyway, it's always a great bird to see in the UK.

All this because...: Summer?
http://allthisbecause.blogspot.com/2012/08/summer.html
We don't remember the days. just the moments. Friday, 17 August 2012. I think most people would agree that generally Summer 2012 has been a wash out - and probably pretty disastrous for a lot of our wildlife. However, nature is nothing if not tenacious and on occasional days, and more frequently in the last few weeks, whenever we've had some reasonable weather, there have been birds and other creatures to see and appreciate. This Swallow was enjoying a sunny afternoon in late May at Cley. While we were a...

http://allthisbecause.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
We don't remember the days. just the moments. Tuesday, 16 August 2011. Summer can be a relatively quiet time for birding and indeed July was fairly unproductive for us, but things have picked up with the arrival of August. This may have been one of the last times they were in the nest because very soon after the photo was taken I watched them launch themselves into the big wide world. After lunch we went to Sizewell beach with the aim of finding some Little Gulls which had been reported there. They w...

We don't remember the days. just the moments. Thursday, 19 May 2011. Born in the USA. I hadn’t expected to go birding that day and so didn’t have my camera with me [wouldn’t you know it!

http://allthisbecause.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
We don't remember the days. just the moments. Monday, 12 September 2011. A taste of things to come. Saturday was our last birding trip in the UK before flying out to Portugal next week for ten days. Not surprisingly, m. Ost of the talk as we travelled to RSPB Titchwell (hoping to see a Buff-breasted Sandpiper that had been there for some time) was about Portugal – the places we’d visit and the birds we might see.

All this because...: Snipe shots
http://allthisbecause.blogspot.com/2012/04/snipe-shots.html
We don't remember the days. just the moments. Sunday, 15 April 2012. These Common Snipe were at Frampton Marsh a couple of weekends ago. At first all I could find were snoozing birds. Until this one came walking by. And here’s a little video clip of one using that incredible bill. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Why this title for my blog? Bad light fails to stop play!
