http://portmeadowbirding.blogspot.com/2015/06/2nd-june.html

Port Meadow Year Lists. Background Info and Access Instructions. So we're into June now and the summer doldrums though actually it's felt like it for quite some time now as far as the birding has been concerned. The "floods" are now completely dry and the grass and various Meadow plants are fast reclaiming the muddy area. Since my last posting there has been some news on the bird front with a male CUCKOO. And a Common Blue. Both having been seen. Angled Shades, caught a couple of weeks ago. 2016 Year Lis...

Port Meadow Birding: 6th July

http://portmeadowbirding.blogspot.com/2015/07/6th-july.html

Port Meadow Year Lists. Background Info and Access Instructions. I finally had some time free to go out and tour the Patch today. At the Trap Grounds there was an Emperor Dragonfly. And two Four-spotted Chasers. On the pond though I couldn't see any Damselflies. The Reed Warblers. Are still singing away in there periodically - I hope that they're having a good breeding season. The small side pond was nearly dried up though there were several Azure Damselflies. And modest counts of Gatekeepers. Subscribe ...

http://portmeadowbirding.blogspot.com/2015/05/sunday-10th-may.html

Port Meadow Year Lists. Background Info and Access Instructions. And the occasional COMMON TERN. Are definitely "in" now with three or four already careering about the skies over my house. So that's it on the migrant front unless we're lucky enough to have a Spotted Flycatcher (one of the latest migrants) stop in. With no bird photos on offer, here's a Ringed Plover that I took a couple of weeks back. In the Trap Ground reedbed now, which is good news. Back in my garden as well as the usual Whites. 2016 ...

The Tall Birder: October 2016

http://tallbirder.blogspot.com/2016_10_01_archive.html

Saturday, 29 October 2016. Pit 60 etc: Saturday 29th October. There seemed no point in an early start on this dark, dank morning! Badger also confirmed its absence, so I made an abrupt change of plan and headed off to Standlake - once out I could really just turn round and go back home, could I? Arriving in due course at a deserted Langley Lane hide at Pit 60, a very grey scene presented itself. But almost immediately some colour in the form of a Kingfisher. There were about 75 of them, plus the Black.

http://portmeadowbirding.blogspot.com/2015/05/mondy-11th-may.html

Port Meadow Year Lists. Background Info and Access Instructions. It was all very May-ish this afternoon when I went to visit Burgess Field.
