Paul's Nature Blog: Thorpe St Andrew Marshes - Warblers In Abundance!
http://paulsnatureblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/thorpe-marshes-warblers-in-abundance.html
Monday, 6 May 2013. Thorpe St Andrew Marshes - Warblers In Abundance! I decided to take advantage of the fine weather and have a stroll around the marshes before lunch. The reserve was absolutely alive with birdsong. There seemed to be warblers everywhere! Last year almost unbelievably I failed to see a single Blackcap, today I saw two. One near the footbridge, the other on Bungalow Lane. Also seen in abundance were Common Whitethroat, Sedge and Reed Warblers, and Reed Buntings. Birds of the Heath.

http://paulsnatureblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/thorpe-station-marshes.html
Monday, 27 May 2013. Thorpe St Andrew Marshes. A couple of visits to Thorpe Station Marshes during the last week. On my first visit last Sunday I was observing a pair of Reed Warblers at the start of the path that leads to Bungalow Lane when I became aware of a Cuckoo calling very close by. It flew out from an Ivy covered tree and passed immediately overhead affording me the closest view of a Cuckoo that I think I have ever had! 12 June 2013 at 08:40. 15 July 2013 at 11:16.

Thursday, 7 March 2013. Bergh Apton Bird Feeding Station. We have a builders yard adjacent to the Scop Hill Nature reserve at Bergh Apton. Some while ago we decided to set up a bird feeding station which is kept regularly stocked with a mixed bird seed, peanuts, niger seeds and suet balls. These we suspended from our Road Sign Rack. Hardly pretty but viewable from our office and a magnet for a great variety of local bird life! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Penny's Hot Birding and Life! Birds of the Heath.

Paul's Nature Blog: April 2014
http://paulsnatureblog.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, 17 April 2014. Thorpe has been rather quiet of late so I decided to head out to Horsey Gap on my day off for a late morning stroll along the path behind the dunes. At various times last year I saw here; Wheatears, Whinchats, Stonechats, Meadow Pipits and Tree Sparrows. The section adjacent to the pillbox is often particularly fruitful and this is where today I again saw a pair of Stonechats. Regards to all. Paul. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). These excellant blogs enspired me to have a go myself!

Paul's Nature Blog: The Big Norwich Bat Project Part 2
http://paulsnatureblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-big-norwich-bat-project-part-2.html
Tuesday, 7 May 2013. The Big Norwich Bat Project Part 2. Buffy and Sonia of The Big Norwich Bat Project emailed the results of the survey carried out in my garden on Sunday night. Very comprehensive, it gives details of the night's bat calls including timings and various other bits of information. All in all a very interesting exercise and well worth surporting.

Paul's Nature Blog: January 2013
http://paulsnatureblog.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, 26 January 2013. Thorpe St Andrew Marshes. As a rule I like to update my blog with some photographs but didn't have the opportunity this time. As the sun shone brightly and the snow began to melt there seemed to be a bit more activity than in the past fortnight. The Broad was still largely frozen and all the waterfowl and gulls had congregated on the section that remained clear of ice. Large numbers of Tufted Duck, Gadwall, Pochard and Teal but nothing out of the ordinary. Birds of the Heath.

Sunday, 5 May 2013. The Big Norwich Bat Project Part 1. Last year I reserved my home square kilometre in Thorpe St Andrew to participate in the Big Norwich Bat Project http:/ www.norwichbatgroup.org.uk/project.html. I have always been conscious of the presence of bats in my back garden so was interested to find out more. The survey equipment registered 35 Common Pipistrells, 3 Noctules and 2 unidentifiable Pipistrells. Stay tuned for the results! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Birds of the Heath.
