http://oxfordbirder.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Birding in and around Oxford. Wednesday, 30 April 2014. Crouching Spoonbill Hidden Crake. A grab of the Spoonbill. And the video it came from. Having never actually heard one sing before I decided I'd go to check it out for myself so at around 8:30 pm yesterday evening I set off in the Gnome Mobile and parked down the end of Heyford Hill Lane (about here. Some video footage of it calling. Sunday, 27 April 2014. The Tale of the Otmoor Whiskered Tern. Terry and I had just got to the pump station when I got...

Gnome's Birding Diary: June 2015
http://oxfordbirder.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Birding in and around Oxford. Tuesday, 30 June 2015. There's a lot to cram in to the summer season if one is serious about one's butterflies and dragonflies! Climbing Corydalis - excuse my hand in the shot, it's the only way to get the autofocus to work! Whixall Moss Reserve, at first sight rather unassuming. A Large Heath during a rare moment when it settled. The pool with Peter checking out his back of the camera shots. Now it was just a question of getting some photos. We spent a while trying to p...

Gnome's Birding Diary: January 2015
http://oxfordbirder.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Birding in and around Oxford. Monday, 12 January 2015. Up North in the Winter. North Shields Fish Quay. Aging the Iceland Gull. Soon after the light started to fade and I was all gulled out anyway. I'd made plans to have dinner with K that evening but I still had some time to kill - what to do? Looking south from North Gare Sands. I picked it up as it flew reasonably low right over my head and off up the beach in the direction I'd just come from, banking as it did so and allowing me to get a good look at...

http://theoxonfeather.blogspot.com/2014/08/corn-bunting-at-shellingford-quarry.html
Wednesday, 13 August 2014. Corn Bunting at Shellingford Quarry. Although the wind blew strongly as its often possible to find sheltered parts I popped down to Shellingford Quarry today Wednesday 13th on the off-chance of finding Dragonflies , Butterflies and look for any Waders that might now be starting to come through. No Waders but a nicely posing Corn Bunting a bird not often seen in this area. The Oxon Feather. Addendum - Steve Burch has kindly informed they are Small Red-Eyed Damselflies.

Birding in and around Oxford. Thursday, 30 July 2015. Yet another compilation of my daily postings from Pendeen Birding. From a recent visit down to Cornwall there.
