Sunday, 20 January 2008. Water, Water, everywhere. It's my first chance. To get the new years list started. Fiddlers ferry, Penketh, SJ5786. Pennington Flash, SJ6499. It's like summer here.

Sunday, 29 July 2007. Here comes the sun". For the first time in ages, we have a dry weekend. I set of to Leighton Moss, but hearing of congestion J28 M6 area, I made the decission. To go to Southport. I was hoping to see some beaver! Four Beavers where released two weeks ago. This is the first time they have been resident in Lancashire. For 500 years. Sadly, today the didn't show up for a photo, but I could see recent film of them on a laptop.(I will have another go later). A fantastic day out in the sun.

Digiscoping: September 2007
http://naturesboy-globalwarming.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, 23 September 2007. The last time I was here, I think was February. Since then I have missed a few birds. This week saw a Red-Necked Phalarope. This morning a Mediteranean. Gull All gone now of course. So I have chosen to get a long staying and some times very confiding Garganey. Wings, to protect their heads from getting a soaking. (bit odd, don't you think? There they are floating on a lake, and they don't. Wish to get a soaking from the rain.must be just me to think this! For sailing. Last ...

Digiscoping: March 2008
http://naturesboy-globalwarming.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, 22 March 2008. Regular readers will know, that the month of March, means it's time to dip on Lesser Spotted Woodpecker at Marbury Country Park. For eons now I have been coming to Marbury to get a sighting of this, for me, elusive pecker. As is the custom at Marbury, I am greeted by others at the hide to be told, ten minutes ago it was here - and today is no exception. Still, I am here for the day, I can wait.

http://naturesboy-globalwarming.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, 25 May 2008. I have recharged myself for what is usually my favorite weekend of the year. Leighton Moss - 3 Spoonbills, 33 Avocets (2 new chicks), 100 Black Tailed Godwits. Marsh Harrier over the reedbeds. Otherwise a quiet day for birds, must be the gales? Monday, 12 May 2008. Where else can you take pictures of seabirds a few inches away from your feet. The Farne Islands. About 50 miles north of Newcastle you find the tiny fishing village called Seahouses. 10am Billy Shiel.

Digiscoping: Brockholes Quarry
http://naturesboy-globalwarming.blogspot.com/2009/05/brockholes-quarry.html
Sunday, 31 May 2009. A first trip to Brockholes Quarry near Preston. For years now I have been driving past here, today I give it a go. A large area, cut for gravel has left several pools and great expectaions. I hear from a reliable source that soon? The area is going to be developed for public recreation, Nature reserve area, Fishing and boating lakes. I can't wait. At the moment though, we must park up at the gate and view what flys over the River Ribble. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
