WelshLassy - Birding Blog. Follow my progress as a Trainee Bird Ringer, based in North Wales. Thursday, 24 April 2014. Easter bunny has been busy. Last year I monitored Pied Flycatchers at Aber. This species is very helpful by using nestboxes, which have kindly been provided for them for many years by Geoff Gibbs. Compared with our previous visit at the start of April, where we did some repairs to the boxes and checked them all for any early nest building, the woods were a lot quieter. The relative l...

WelshLassy - Birding Blog. Follow my progress as a Trainee Bird Ringer, based in North Wales. Sunday, 20 April 2014. AFON and BTO Young Birders Workshop. When I heard about the Young Birders Workshop, I knew I had to attend! It was held at the BTO head office in Thetford, which is a LONG way from Bangor! I hate Sat Nav, so was quite happy to be playing navigator. We arrived about 9am, which gave us some time to network before the event started. I was busy chatting to Peter about AFON when I got sligh...

WelshLassy - Birding Blog. Follow my progress as a Trainee Bird Ringer, based in North Wales. Monday, 26 May 2014. Sweden. Part 1. I’ve been on Öland for almost a month now, and I don’t know where to begin! I’ve been kept pre-occupied with birds, birds and birds (and maybe a snake or moose hunt! So I guess blog writing has taken a back seat. Ryd, our local site. Great pond for dragonflies and amphibians! So, what am I doing here? My first Collared Flycatcher! It’s very difficult sometimes to stay f...

The last SCAN weekend of the 13/14 season didn't get off to a great start.

Archie, Sally and Heather, all eager to get out and play! Wish, showing her support for the Reds! With a few people on lookout to see where th...

Alastair Wilson Photos: May 2014
http://alastairwilsonphotos.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Ecology, conservation, photography. Tuesday, 20 May 2014. The flowers are quite spectacular at the moment, the Bluebells are going over, but the campion is in full flower producing swathes of pink or white flowers. I should probably try and get some photos of puffins in the flowers really, but I’ve been leaving my camera behind recently whilst going around my study sites in the name of reducing the weight in my backpack! Pink Campion and Bluebells. Pink Campion at South Stream. Using a creative filter.
