En horas de ayer Viernes por la mañana Roby y Lucho se fueron hasta Nemesio Parma para esperar que se haga el horario de entrar a sus respectivos trabajos, una vez que decidieron dirigirse hacia el nuevo parque industrial porque hacia el lado del destacamento de la prefectura el tránsito estaba muy cargado de camiones […]

A Productive Frozen Boat Launch
Rare eBird lists for Connecticut remain a little shorter than those for Florida in my experience. Nonetheless I was intrigued by reports of rare species of goose being reported at Donald W. Barnes Boat Launch in Hartford County Connecticut in mid-winter. A species commonly seen here in New England in the winter months was remarkably […]
Another day at Dungeness
We arrived at first light to find the point covered in thick fog and the fog horn blasting out it’s warning to the ships that couldn’t see the lighthouse. By 7:30am the fog had lifted and we quickly found a couple of Wheatear on the shingle by the fishing boats. An hours sea watch enabled […]

Red flanked Bluetail at Titchwell

We stopped at first light in the hope of seeing the Golden Pheasant at Wolferton but had to settle for it on call alone before we moved on to […]
Oslo in a nutshell
