Shropshire Birder: Scilly Pelagic no 2
http://shropshirebirder.blogspot.com/2015/08/scilly-pelagic-no-2.html
Friday, 7 August 2015. Scilly Pelagic no 2. My second evening pelagic from St Marys (setting off at 5.00pm) and it was mostly about the familiar 'ever present' seabirds of the area. Starting off with a good few Manx Shearwater. Only minutes in, near St Agnes! A fly-by Arctic Skua. And cracking views of Bonxies. Taking on the gulls in the wake of the boat! And even when the light levels fell, an amazing surprise in store with this amazing sunset over Bishop Rock! But we're here for the birds. Scilly pelag...

Shropshire Birder: Scilly pelagic no 4 - Great Shearwater
http://shropshirebirder.blogspot.com/2015/08/scilly-pelagic-no-4-great-shearwater.html
Sunday, 9 August 2015. Scilly pelagic no 4 - Great Shearwater. A mizzle /drizzle start to the morning but it eventually cleared up and three Great Shearwaters put in appearance, the first two coming within range. Here's the first one. Don't you just hate wave creasts! The second bird came within frame filling distance! See what I mean! Just when I thought it couldn't get better than this, tomorrow was about to prove me wrong! Another 1st summer Long-tailed Skua. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Scilly...

Shropshire Birder: Scilly pelagic no 5 - The late Great Shear Show!
http://shropshirebirder.blogspot.com/2015/08/scilly-pelagic-no-5-late-great-shear.html
Monday, 10 August 2015. Scilly pelagic no 5 - The late Great Shear Show! Another great evening on Sapphire, predictably unpredictable and whilst we remained Wilson's-less, there was plenty of excitement in store as the evening wore on and scent of chum brought the tubenoses in! The first brief encounter was with a Sooty Shearwate. And the first of the usual glut of Stormies. Then almost immediately, the star performer of the evening was Great Shearwate. R, in all at least five were seen! Details of my ot...

Monday, 29 June 2015. Speyside - Shortie catch up! For anyone not following my twitter feed, I've just caught up with a few images of Short-eared Owl from Speyside - tucked away here! And 'Whose baby are you? No cheating - it's easy really (clue - taken on an upland moor) and the answer is here! They may not be speaking but this couple are making the most of peace and quiet on a Grouse moor - here. Other bits and pieces to follow! Saturday, 27 June 2015. RAF Cosford - Vulcan fly through.

Shropshire Birder: September 2014
http://shropshirebirder.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 23 September 2014. Kilnsea - Masked Shrike etc. I'd spent a long weekend in Scotland on plant duty noting the frenzied activity at Kilnsea with the discovery of a juv Masked Shrike! My first opportunity came on the Tuesday and with the crowds having died down, there were even parking spaces in the beach car park! Then down to business from the viewing point. The Masked Shrike. As ever, undaunted by distance, all the converters went on to try an eke something out of the day? Venus Pool - Peregrine.

Out and About with David Cookson: March 2012
http://davidcooksonimages.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Out and About with David Cookson. Go to my Website David Cookson Images. Thursday, 8 March 2012. Which is now three month overdue, further more our solicitors have been advised. etc. etc. I would scramble through the letters in the vein hope that someone had actually paid me. Thankfully those days are long gone, so now when the post is delivered, after sifting through the junk every so often a rather nice letter arrives. Today Thursday March 8th was one of those days. The two images used in the pamphlet.
