Crammy Birder: April 2014

http://crammybirding.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 30 April 2014. Yesterday I was lucky enough to visit Cain's ' office' near Kielder. With the sun shinning GS Woodpeckers were drumming away in the woods and Green Woodpecker was yaffling away. On a short walk by the river we stumbled upon two Song Thrush nest, one with young chicks and another still under construction. The highlight of the day for me though was seeing a Common Lizard (a British lifer) chasing spiders along the grassy bank side. Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Thursday, 24 April 2014.

Druridge Diary: Under the weather

http://ipinswildlifeblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/under-weather.html

Sunday, 2 August 2015. What is going on with the weather this Summer? Even the forecasters can't get a thing right. Last night, I checked all of my usual sources of weather information and it all looked good for putting some nets up this morning. Based on this research I got up at 4.30 and headed to Druridge and got some nets up, no wind, hazy sunshine and the weather forecast still saying no rain. First net round done and it starts to rain. light but persistent. Nets furled. Flew south, calling. Off...

Birding at Prestwick Carr and beyond. Thursday, 6 August 2015. One of the Whittle Dene Common Terns escorts a Buzzard over the reservoir when I visited yesterday. The bird sightings book in the hide has become a visitors book from people walking the wall with some more happy than others. Check out 27th July. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). More about Prestwick Carr. Knot grey at all. I may have to expand my patch. Bold, Bright, Colours. What the Caspian Gull saw. Autumn on the way. As I was saying.

Howdon Blogger: The Weekend's Antics

http://howdonblogger.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-weekends-antics.html

Monday, 8 June 2015. I got beaten by a Tortoise in my last race so what chance have I got now. Damn, little BHGs could be due right next to the Common Terns nests. I've watched other Birds doing this so thought I might give it a go for. 30mins or so and see if I can pick up a small titbit. Down from 8 to 6 but has also cleared the pond of the other Swans and now rules the roost. First Large Red Damselfly of the year. Quite a few around even with the high winds, just a pretty picture. I noticed 2 Godwits ...

Birding North Northumberland

http://www.naturalbornbirder.com/uk/uk.php

My obsession with birds began on the NE coast of England where I grew up in one of the best birding spots in Northumberland: Stag Rocks at Bamburgh. With Lindisfarne (Holy Island) and the seabird colonies on the Farne Islands visible from the house it was inevitable that birding would form a substantial part of my life. I never had a chance. A selection of trip reports will be included below to indicate the birding potential of the area:. A respectable number of rarities have turned here with Isabelline ...

A few days in York last week meant we weren't around when the Black-winged Pratincole. Turned up on my old patch of Bothal Pond. Thankfully it stuck around and gave good views, especially in flight over the pond. A Common Sandpiper. Was also there along with 3 Yellow Wagtails. I finally managed to photograph a Holly Blue. When a Yellow-rum...
