It is a while since I posted. The weather has not been good and I am currently restricted as to how far I can walk. I did however last week manage a couple of trips to Martin Mere Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust. I could manage to get to the Discovery Centre where at Feeding Time […]

Early At The Shore With Oystercatchers
I made a stop down at the shoreline early in the morning. I was trying to catch low tide hoping to find shorebirds. The only shorebirds I came across were American Oystercatchers. They had no problem finding plenty to eat. The oystercatchers were boisterous making lots of noise communicating with each other. I also saw […]
Cardenal común (Red-crested Cardinal) Paroaria coronata
En estos días hablando con Willy de todo un poco acerca de esta actividad le decía que en estos últimos tiempos estoy bastante mas tranquilo al momento de sacar fotos, tal vez un poco mas detallista también, y eso lo aprecio al momento de editar las fotografías. Todos nos volvimos mucho mas pacientes con el […]
Corbatita dominó (Rusty-collared Seedeater) Sporophila collaris
De la jornada del pasado Sábado en el Arroyo Mártires compartida con Nicolás, comparto estas fotografías de 2 individuos machos, y una hembra de Corbatita dominó muy fotogénicos.

Al […]
Pale Crag Martins – Jebale Hamrah
Whilst birding the Judah area (two hours drive towards Riyadh from Dhahran) known as Jebal Hamrah recently Phil Roberts and I found a few Pale Crag Martins and managed to locate a small cliff where three birds were continually flying around and landing. After some time we managed to get in a position to take […]
Snowy Owl Snettisham
I tried to take the old fella for the Owl yesterday but he had other plans so we put the trip on hold until this morning. We set off at 5am and arrived at the coast around 7am stopping briefly to tick Fulmar from Hunstanton Cliffs and to grab a shot of an obliging Barn […]
